Harry Styles' Biggest Interior Design Mistake? A Green Rug, He Says, but I Think It's All in the Styling — This Designer-Approved Advice Makes a Compelling Case

A man with tousled dark brown hair and a stubble in a white blazer with black lapels and a sequin vest with a cross necklace.

On this week's episode of Brittany Broski's Royal Court, singer and style icon Harry Styles admitted to having some major design regrets in the first home he bought as an 18-year-old newly famous pop star.

However, I firmly believe that with a little styling effort and the right green rug, you can turn this trope from enemies to lovers. In fact, it might be one of the rug colors to use in modern design.
