- Accent walls often signify hesitation in making a bold design statement, detracting from the overall impact of a space. - Cherry-stained wood and other warm-toned woods can appear dated and lack broad appeal, making cooler wood tones a more versatile choice. - Avoid using clip rings for curtains as they give off a dorm room or DIY aesthetic, detracting from a polished and cohesive look.
