You may not be aware, but people are talking. They are talking about your ugly room. They go home and are appalled that you haven’t noticed or even tried to make it look better. How could you? Maybe you don’t even know your room is ugly! Here are the ten signs to help you figure out if your decor sucks.

1. Your Paint Job. You watched one too many of those decorating shows on TV and thought, “Hey, they can paint a room in 10 minutes, so can I!” Well, that’s where you veered off the road of home decor. One coat is not going to usually do it, and if you didn’t prime it, come on. Also, if I can tell every place your paint roller went, that is a real big clue that being a painter is not in the cards for you.

2. Your Paint Color Selection. You read the book as a child. You loved it. Let me tell you, my friend, instituting the color palette from the “Curious George” book is not the right idea. People don’t want to see the primary colors used all over your house, let alone used together. If your room looks like you asked the local preschool for help, you’re done. We’re taking away your fan deck!

3. Your Bedding. If your bedding is one of the following items, you’ve messed up majorly: A) You have a blanket that depicts some animal in a nature scene. B) Your bedspread could also double as a shower curtain. C) Your bedding has more flowers than an arboretum or D) Your bedding reminds someone of an African safari. The last one only worked in Blanch Devereux’s bedroom on the “Golden Girls”.

4. Your Faux Plants. Not all faux plants are bad. Some silk plants look quite good, but if you have these fake plants around your home and people start acting out the episodes of the “Land of the Lost” TV show, game over, Chaka.

5. Your Grandma’s Handiwork. If you have anything like a macramé plant holder, a quilted landscape hanging, or the full size ceramic dog she painted in her craft class, your decor is in need of help. Come on, these things didn’t look good in the decade they were created and if you have any of these things out if full force, it tells me two things. Either you are a vintage fanatic or you’re grandma’s baby.

6. Animal Heads. If you have an animal head over your bed, you just scored for the ugliest decor. If the animal head is over your fireplace and the rest of your living room looks like it came out of the Fisherman’s Yearly Home decor catalog, you come in second place. The only way animal heads are cool these days is if they are ceramic and more points if you hang Christmas lights on them.

7. Curio Cabinets of Crap. If you have a curio cabinet and you have jammed every little steel thimble or ceramic squirrel you could find, you need therapy. I’m not even sure the last time I ever saw a curio cabinet done well, let alone seen one in modern times. By modern times, I mean this century. If I did see one, it was in someone’s house who was what we would term a “seasoned citizen”.

8. Your carpet. If your carpet if Hunter Green, please come to the front of the line. That color was in fashion many, many moons ago. You should have replaced that by now, and if you didn’t because “Gosh darn it, it’s just in such good shape” then stop reading, you’re hopeless when it comes to decor. Carpet needs to be up to date, clean and nice to look at. If your carpet looks like a matted dog’s fur, change it!

9. Your college days. If your decor resembles the days while you were in college in any way, shape or form, we need to talk. I know money was scarce in college. You were studying, partying, partying and partying. You are no longer the “cool” guy who says he doesn’t need furniture to define who you are. Yes, you do. One TV tray and a brass framed coffee table doesn’t work, it never did. You just had free beer and that’s why everyone was at your place.

10. Your Love of Navajo prints. If you still have anything with a Navajo print on it, we will have to take you out back. I know how very popular the Navajo print was. It came in shower curtains, sofas, bedspreads, window treatments and everything else that should have never been made with the Navajo print. It isn’t cool anymore. Even if you live in the Southwest. Just stop. Stop searching hours and hours on eBay just to find that last piece to create that perfect Navajo room. There is no such thing.

By no means is this a complete list, but this should help those folks who are in emergency need of redecorating. There’s hope and help for you. Admitting you have an ugly room is the first step. Asking for help is the second.
