10 Things a Stylist Avoids in Her Own Home—And You Should, Too

Stylist Dorcia Kelley is no stranger to picture-perfect interiors.

As a seasoned pro in the design world, she’s spent countless hours preparing homes for photo shoots, turning already beautiful spaces into magazine-ready masterpieces. Over the years, Kelley has developed an eye for what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to creating a home that feels both stylish and personal. “Your taste is your taste,” she explains. “All I’m here to do is elevate it a little bit. I never want anybody to feel bad for something they’re doing from their heart.” In her own home, Kelley takes a more personal, mindful approach. Below, she shares the 10 things she would never do—plus her thoughtful advice on creating a space you love while staying true to your own style.

Buy Fake Plants

“Faux plants attract a lot of unnecessary dust,” Kelley says. “Meanwhile real plants clean the air in your home. I don’t think people talk about that enough. Between the beauty products being soaked into our skin and the processed food we eat, are we gonna do one thing right? Let’s put some real plants in our houses.”

Put Out a Welcome Mat

“You shouldn’t need a mat or sign to tell people that your home feels welcoming,” says the stylist. “Your home should embody that through the styling, the design, and the colors.” 

Load Up Shelves With Tchotchkes

A crowded display leaves no room for a focal point, Kelley says: “Your eye is trying to capture every book, every little accessory, every photograph.”

Use White Felt Furniture Pads

“Do people realize that they carry this padding in various colors to match your wood or whatever color your furniture is?” she asks. Now you know. 

Paint Every Room a Different Color

Kelley is more of a neutrals fan, but if she were going to play with color, she’d make sure there was a transition between each room. “So say you have a blue living room. You should put 50% to 30% white paint in that same blue, and paint the wall in the hallway or going up the adjacent staircase,” she says. 

Hang a Gallery Wall

“What happened to people putting really curated artwork or even photographs on a wall?” Kelley asks. “Blow a photograph up and make one focal point.”

Put Too Many Pillows on the Sofa

“I have two pillows on each couch, and they are there to prop you up. When the pillows cover the entire couch, you have to take them off to sit down anyway. And that’s a pet peeve,” she reveals.

Live With Contractor Lighting

“Lighting can tell the story of your entire home. Change your lighting. It’s going to solve a lot of your problems. And I’m not just saying change the bulb—add a beautiful fixture,” Kelley says. 

Install a Regular-Length Shower Curtain

“Always buy an extra-long shower curtain. It should go all the way up toward the ceiling as far as it can, and then it should drop long so that you can’t see the tub,” she advises.

Burn a Bunch of Scented Candles

“I think you should try to have a signature scent for your home or even just stick to a particular brand that you like, so you won’t have all these random candles sitting around your house,” Kelley says.

Why an Agent Is Essential When Buying a Newly Built Home

For some buyers, there’s a misconception that newly built homes aren’t made to last or fall short of the quality you can find in older homes.

Unfortunately, this is turning some buyers away from what may be one of their best options in today’s housing market. As Builder Online says:

“As resale inventory remains limited and the price spread between new and resale homes narrows, new homes are increasingly an attractive value proposition for buyers, with incentives such as rate buydowns a way to help address ongoing affordability challenges.”

So, is there any merit to the myth? Let’s break down the best way to make sure you feel good about looking into new home construction. That way, you’re not missing out on such a great option today.

Choosing the Right Builder

The key to making sure you get a quality newly built home is to choose a good builder. Reputable builders adhere to strict building codes and standards, use advanced construction techniques, and often offer warranties that cover structural issues for several years. That’s why the Mortgage Reports offers this advice:

“When embarking on the journey of buying a new construction home, one of the most important steps is selecting the right builder. This decision can significantly impact the quality and satisfaction you derive from your new home.”

And while you could dig into research about all the builders in your area, there’s an easier option to get the job done: lean on a pro. When you work with a local real estate agent, they already know about the builders and the new home communities under construction in your area.

Beyond that, maybe they’ve even worked with other buyers who opted for a home in one of those neighborhoods. Here are just a few of the things your agent will help you with:

1. The Builder’s Reputation: Your agent will help point you toward builders with strong reputations and positive reviews from previous buyers. Additionally, your agent will make sure the builder is licensed and insured. Membership in professional organizations, such as the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), is also a good sign of a builder’s commitment to industry standards.

2. Their Model Homes: Your agent will also be able to tell you if the builders have model homes you can tour. And when your agent walks through the model with you, they’ll draw your attention to the little details that matter most. Things like the quality of finishes, layout, and overall feel of the home.

3. Builder Warranties: Your agent will also be able to help you navigate any builder offers or incentives. Reputable builders often provide warranties to cover major structural elements of the home for a significant period of time. This is a testament to their confidence in the quality of their construction.

4. Getting Inspections: Even with new homes, inspections are crucial. Your agent will coordinate the inspections with licensed professionals to ensure the home meets safety and quality standards before you move in.

Agents Are the MVP When You’re Buying a Brand-New Home

Maybe that’s why data shows homebuyers unanimously scored their agents higher than their builders when looking back on their recent purchase:

So, you don’t need to worry that they just don’t make them like they used to. By working with a knowledgeable real estate agent to choose a reputable builder, you can feel confident when buying a newly built home today. As Realtor.com says:

“If you are interested in buying a new construction . . . You need your own real estate agent from the get-go. Even if it seems like plug and play to sign up with the builder’s on-site agent, you’re going to want someone representing your side of the deal.”

Bottom Line

If you’re considering buying a brand-new home, don’t let misconceptions hold you back. Work with a local real estate agent to find a home you’ll love and be proud to call your own.
