When it comes to personal taste there is no right or wrong, only what we as an individual find pleasing. When it comes to your home this is not always true. For instance, if you are planning a home renovation or home improvement project that involves decorative moulding there are rights and wrongs.

If you plan on reselling your house the latter is definitely a wrong decision.
