The designer revealed that the first thing on his list of no no’s is matching furniture sets, which he said are “humanity’s biggest crime”.
Buying your furniture all in one set is likely to be cheaper than buying individual pieces, and is a lot easier than picking out individual products, however Jordan believes that furniture sets are not the way to go.
He said: “Curating different pieces might sound challenging, but I promise you your space will look well thought out”.
Next on Jordan’s list is upper kitchen cabinets which have an “awkward” space between them and the ceiling.
He said: “By closing this gap with a soffit or moulding, your kitchen will look super custom and bougie”.
Jordan added that another, more simple way of closing this gap is to fill it with books or houseplants.
Finally, Jordan said that curtains which are hung at the wrong height can make your home look cheap and tacky.
He explained that your curtains should be hung wide and high.

“This gives a lux look that makes your space feel larger”, he said.
He added that curtains definitely need to be touching the ground, as short curtains are tacky.
Jordan’s video, which was posted under the username @jordansamsondesign, has likely struck a chord with many people, as it has racked up over 1.7 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts, with many disagreeing with Jordan’s claims.
One person said: I love matching furniture and always will”.
Another person said: “20 years ago it was the exact opposite and in another 20 years these tips will be considered cheap.
