Fortunately, some famous interior designers are all over social media, sharing their advice for free.

An interior designer, author, and proprietor of Kelly Hoppen , Kelly Hoppen CBE, is one of them.

Taking to her TikTok page, Kelly revealed the five viral she hates.

From chopped cushions to angled furniture, she asked her 125.3K followers if they agreed with her or not.

She said: “I’m an interior designer and these are five things that I cannot stand.”;;

First off was mixed flower arrangements, for example, a mixture of colour.

She continued: “They have to be white or they have to be pink or they have to be blue, but never mixed together.

“My pet hate, number one, is chopped cushions. Never chop a cushion.

“A cushion needs to be straight, straight on, never at an angle.

Another pet hate, real fur throws. Definitely never.”;;

Her next one is the type of throw she uses.

Kelly said: “If you’re gonna have a fur throw, have it as a faux fur throw.”;;

Another pet hate of Kelly’s is when people get neutral colours wrong.

She said: “Just because they’re neutral, they can actually clash.

“So make sure that your neutral colours work.

“So only choose three to put together at one time until you get it right.

“One of my pet hates is furniture on an angle. It has never been designed to be on an angle unless it’s in a corner. Always have things straight.

“They can be off-centre together, but never at an angle. Coffee table at an angle, chair at an angle, unless it’s in front of a fireplace. Be careful.”;;

Her video gained 802k views and 1,375 comments as many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.

One wrote: “As a florist I couldn’t agree less on arrangements. What grows together goes together. Don’t get hung up on one colour.”;;

Whilst a second said: “I have never liked chop cushions, not aesthetically pleasing for me.”;;

And a third commented: “I do admire you and enjoy you on TV. You have some great tips, thank you!

“However, I think we will part ways at mixed flowers, unless they contain my two pet hates ... chrysanthemums and carnations.”;;
