DUMBEST DECORATING TRENDS

DUMBEST DECORATING TRENDS

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Some interior decorating ideas are best left on the drawing board instead of the drawing room. So says New York-based decorator Steve Lyons, who's just released his annual list of "Dumb Decorating Trends." For starters, Lyons says it's time to stop covering dining chairs with slip covers. He claims they make your home look like the set of a bad horror movie. He also gives a thumbs down to inflatable furniture because once you sit down in the plastic chairs it's impossible to get up without falling on your face. Finally, Lyons says putting upholstery on your walls is a dumb decorating trend because it makes a house look like a lunatic asylum.
