I’m an interior designer – things that make your house look cheap as f**k – grey flooring immediately devalues your home
AN INTERIOR designer has shared a list of three things that he claims makes your house look cheap but it looks like not everyone is ready to listen.
Bilal Rehman is a luxury interior designer from Houston, USA.
In a recent TikTok video he said: “Three things making your house look cheap as f*ck from a luxury interior designer.”
He continued: “The amount of time I see these common mistakes in my clients home is insane here is what to avoid in order to not make your house look like a piece of sh*t”
Bilal says grey flooring is basic and devalues your home.
He said: “The first mistake is grey floors. Builders put this in every single home, they make it looks super basic.”
“It sucks the life out of any space that you have and immediately devalues your space. Nine out of ten 10 we end up ripping it up so just avoid it from the beginning.”
Bilal says you need to avoid furniture sets.
He said: “The next thing to avoid is furniture sets. There is no reason in 2023 why your nightstands, dresser bed and every single piece in your room matched.”
“It just makes the room feel like you went to the one store and bought everything. It doesn’t feel collected, it doesn’t feel designer, it doesn’t feel high end.”
He says if there is a collection you really like, only buy one piece.

He said: “So avoid furniture sets at all costs. I would say just choose one piece from the collection and stick with that.”
Bilal says don’t buy mass produced artwork.
“Let me tell you a secret that mass produced artwork sitting at Home Goods is not going to make your space look designer. For the same price you can easily find some really unique pieces from a local artist or Etsy or even make something yourself.”
“In the long run you get a lot more for your money when you have a cool original piece that nobody else has in their house.”
Bilal design tip video went viral with over 13.9 million news despite this not all viewers were impressed with Bilal’s tips.
One user said: “I feel attacked and I don’t even own a house.”
Another said: “Just wait five years and the same guy will be saying to get grey floors. Buy what you like and design your house for you.”
Cleaning expert Anne Russel said: “Says him standing amid tack.”
