Poor Lighting Options

We've said it before and we'll say it again: Overhead lighting is not it. While it might be one of the lighting types in your room, it shouldn't be the only.

Overstimulating Colors

"Every room should evoke a sense of balance, comfort, and intention; especially the bedroom, which is one of the most personal and restorative spaces in the home," Schumacher says.

Technology Overload

We have all kinds of gadgets in our homes these days. While they keep us connected and make living more efficient, too much tech can overwhelm you and your bedroom.

Over-the-Top Wallpaper

"Wallpaper is another tool I love to use in bedroom design, but it requires careful balance," says Schumacher. "When a bold pattern is applied without thought to scale or placement, it can easily overwhelm the room or distract from the architecture."
