BUYING curtains seems like a relatively straightforward task.
But according to one interior designer, there’s a crucial mistake that WAGs make – and they need to follow her ”kissing” tip pronto.

When the guru, Jojo, first started her career, every footballer’s house had the signature WAG aesthetic at the time – velvet galore and studded headboards in the bedroom.
But there was one ”nuts” curtain trend the interior pro couldn’t get on board with – ”pooling”.
The guru said: ”They would literally drape and there would be like extra fabric on the floor.
”And I always used to think it was such a nuts things to do – because, like, cleaning.
”My cats would pee on them,” she chuckled in a recent episode on the Ins and Outs podcast.
To avoid the constant cleaning and washing the material, Jojo advised to ditch the ”pooling” method and instead try out her ”kissing” look.
This is ”where your curtains should kiss the floor”, she explained.
”Which means they’re not on the floor – they’re just slightly touching it.
”Imagine two lips kissing – that’s how you want it.”
As most curtains, especially linen, will drop lower over time anyway, Jojo also recommended interior fans to best hang them slightly above the floor – and to let gravity do the job.
”Just that hover before you go in for that kiss.”
If you’re thinking of getting new curtains to zhuzh up your home this year, the pro advised to say that you just want them ”to kiss the floor” – no more WAGs ”pooling”.
Trends interior designers hate
IF you want to ensure that your home looks glam, here are the trends that interior designers can’t stand.
NO YELLOW: According to Bilal Rehman, yellow paint in a bedroom is a big no no.
He said: “If you want everyone to know you’re a horse girl then yellow is perfect for you.”
SIGN OFF: Kelly Hoppen shared her honest thoughts on Live, Love, Laugh signs.
The interior pro explained: “Another gripe of mine – Live, Laugh, Love – those kinds of wooden things that sit on book shelves and floating shelves, that’s so 10, 12, 15 years ago.”
NO GREY YAY: Julie Provenzano explained that grey interiors have been overdone.
She stressed: “We took a good thing and we overdid it to the point that it now feels copy, paste, basic.”
