If it sounds good, then it's good.

As I see it... with music, it's ultimately about sound so trust your ears. When you get to something that you don't understand, then look up the theory if or when needed.

As for A#-D-F, that is mostly like a Bb chord (Bb-D-F) since A# = Bb. While this chord is more likely to appear in the major keys of F, Bb and Eb, it could still certainly be used in the key of C major.

I've just written a song where I used Bb as the flattened 7th in the key of C (this chord often arises in popular music). The progression I ended up with was C-Am-Bb-F-Gsus
