"  Overstock.com 1. A sectional. &amp;quot;Almost anything can be used in a man&amp;#039;s interior if some level of discernment is used,&amp;quot; says designer, Susan Ferrier. &amp;quot;That being said, there is no proper context for a kickback sectional with cup holders. It is the laziest piece of upholstery on earth.&amp;quot;  2. Oversized leather furniture. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like they are trying to scream &amp;#039;I am a man!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; says designer, MA Allen. &amp;quot;There are too many other beautiful masculine fabrics to include in a scheme. Think plaids and houndstooth.&amp;quot;  3. Fish tank. &amp;quot;Having the typical fish tank from the pet store down the street just doesn&amp;#039;t cut it,&amp;quot; says designer, Ryan White. &amp;quot;Guys, if you want &amp;#039;the fish tank moment&amp;#039; think James Bond 007.&amp;quot;  Getty 4. Video games AND the beanbag chairs you play them in. We know, this one hurts, but hear us out. &amp;quot;There is no bigger sign of a slouch than a gaming station,&amp;quot; says Allen. However, if you MUST still have video games in the house, &amp;quot;Make sure you have appropriate seating,&amp;quot; says White. &amp;quot;Find two vintage club chairs rather then the old used beanbag.&amp;quot;  Getty 5. Any beer or drinking paraphernalia. &amp;quot;Your vices are not art,&amp;quot; says designer, Jon Call.  Getty 6. Heavy-looking bedroom furniture. Especially bought as a set. &amp;quot;[It] gives the impression that one does not know how to make decisions and lacks general style,&amp;quot; says Allen. &amp;quot;Anyone can buy a matching set, but interesting men are able to piece together different pieces to create a beautiful and eclectic overall look.&amp;quot;  Getty 7. Pictures of parents in the bedroom. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s just not sexy,&amp;quot; says designer Vance Burke.  8. Cheap bedding and mismatched sheets. Really no one should have this in his or her home after a certain age. &amp;quot;[It] shows sophistication when you have nice bedding,&amp;quot; says designer, Nicole Fuller. And, &amp;quot;Having nice quality sheeting will leave a good impression,&amp;quot; adds Allen.  Getty 9. Dishes in the sink. &amp;quot;If you have a problem staying clean, it&amp;#039;s time to hire someone,&amp;quot; explains Call.  Getty 10. Weeks old piles of laundry. &amp;quot;And NO, your mother is not allowed to still be doing your laundry.&amp;quot;  Getty 11. Colored bath towels. &amp;quot;White clean bath towels are a must!\u2028&amp;quot; says Fuller.  Getty 12. Reproduction Roman columns. &amp;quot;Anything you put on it is basically adding insult to injury,&amp;quot; warns Burke.  13. Fake plants. &amp;quot;If you have a job, have real plants,&amp;quot; advises Fuller.  Getty 14. Strong floral room scents. Or anything that seems like their mother decorated for them. &amp;quot;Most girls fear the &amp;#039;momma&amp;#039;s boy&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; advises Allen.  Getty 15. Toys, stuffed or otherwise. Yes, boys this means your collection of action figures\u2014they scream immature.  Getty 16. Clutter. &amp;quot;Clutter on top of cocktail tables, etc. makes things look dirty,&amp;quot; says Fuller.
