Having fear of empty space 
Trying too hard to make layout for living room can become a mess, hence it is better to avoid large pieces of furniture, walls loads with frames and various accessories scattered here and there across the room.

Catalogs can make us fall in love with different kind of furniture items or decorations that are constantly changing. These items can make the room look overloaded. An overloaded room with accessories is not only less pleasant, but it can easily lose its spacious feeling. Go back to the basics 
Before designing a room, it is better to sort the items through your stuff. Ask yourself about every item and keep only those items, which is useful and discard the other things. Go back to the basics, whatever you need in daily life. Once your place and space is emptied out of trash items, you can start planning a new layout. Forget about small details 
When you are over-conscious about how your home should look, small details automatically occupies major part of your mind, like where to place your favorite coffee table or sofa,and forget the details about plugs, doors and windows. In the living room these items are more useful, especially in our daily lives, but can become a real constraint when placing furniture.
