THE living room is the centre point of your house - so naturally you want it to look its best.
But an interior design expert has revealed the common styling mistakes you're making - which could make it look tacky.
Nick Lewis, lives in Vancouver, shared the three common mistakes people make when styling their living rooms which instantly makes them look tacky.
On his TikTok account, Nick Talks Design, he gave three simple pointers as to why your living room may not look as good as you think it should.
He said: "First, is too small of a rug.
"Having a rug sit right the coffee table and not under any of the couch or leg chairs makes it look really silly, and kind of sad."
Nick suggests getting a rug that goes under the two front legs of your coach or side chairs to create a more luxe look.
The second common mistake Nick sees people make is having too much furniture that matches.
He explained: "If you go into a retailer the staff are going to try and sell you the couch and the side chairs to match.
"But don't do it.
"This makes it a really boring, flat, cookie-cutter space."
Instead, Nick recommends choosing different pieces that work well together.
He also explained that you could use pieces form the same collection but to try different coloured pieces to work together.
Finally, Nick said poor space planning - by that he means it feels too crowded.
"Make sure you have a space built for humans, make sure their is space for people to feel comfortable.
"They need room to move, to breath, to eat, to drink in your living room," he explained.
The video has gone viral with over 500k views, and many were grateful for his tips.
One wrote: "Totally agree with these! So glad you’re on Tiktok now!"
"Wonderful advice," another added.
A third commented: "The furniture one is a game changer for me. My room is big and odd shape. Mix n match is perfect. thank you. also can confirm rug advice. It's true.
