Nothing ever looks right or pulled together :(

[FedUpandDownAgain]

I don’t know why I can’t do it. I started from scratch in my living room and it just doesn’t look right.

I had dark walls, they looked gloomy. I have switched to light, it looks boring.

I try to find accessories (lights/ lamps etc) in the right colours or shades, but I can’t without paying £££.

I've just put some wall lights up that looked nice in the whole, they just look boring. The switch is in a stupid place (which I didn’t realise) and the lead is slightly too short on one. So now I have out holes on my walls for nothing 😤

I really grateful to for the advice here.

I realise that I don’t have enough interesting textures and I think I am buying things that are too small.

The wall lights didn’t work because there was nothing of interest to them (although nice on their own). They highlighted a boring area rather than adding to it.

Adding some colour (if wrong) does similar - makes the areas around look boring, rather than blending in and looking satisfying.

Oh and I have matching cushions. I have looked back at the styles I like and most do not. I never noticed that before.
