A common mistake in designing or decorating any room is buying into one singular "look" or "style." Going completely art deco, or completely floral or completely anything (especially when curtains, upholstery and bedding all match!) just doesn't work. Rooms done this way often end up looking like a showroom or an advertisement instead of a place inhabited by actual people.
This often happens when people do not have enough confidence in their own tastes to mix and match and balance out different elements of looks they like. I'm not sure how to gain confidence in this arena. You could keep re-arranging and re-styling, locking yourself in your home for a month, until you're more confident with what you've created. More realistically, look at magazines and books for ideas. Rip out pictures of rooms you like, then try to copy that look in your own home. If you've got cash to burn, hire a designer to take you through the process.

I would say first visit the friend or family home and make sure what they get designed is opt for your home too. Sometimes, due to space constraints people come up with unique ideas which may or may not be feasible for you. So, its always better to think twice before indulging with your existing home design. In case you are not very sure always consult your home decorator/designers.
