How to spot and fix the top decorating mistakes

Too bright overhead lighting
Mistake: The light from an overhead light fixture can not only be harsh, but can be really unflattering.

Solution: Lighting can really set the mood & transform any room, so try using lamps with low watt bulbs to create flattering and inviting light. It’s better to have several lamps or sconces with 25 watt bulbs than a single ceiling fixture with one 100 watt bulb. And to really up the ante, try a soft pink light bulb — it can be found at any grocery store for under $5 but will make you look like a million $$. The highest watt bulb you should use in your living room for a soft and warm light is 65 watts — max.
