When it comes to arranging furniture in your beautiful home, there are many things that need to fit together to create the perfect space. Things like achieving balance, ensuring the right furniture is present, etc are some of the important things to consider. Here’s an overview of the most common interior design mistakes, read on to find out how to fix them to have a great home.
A Bad Interior Design Plan
A bad interior design plan in home interior design is similar to driving your car in an unfamiliar place. You may only know what you end up needing, but you’ll never know how many wrong turns you’ve made along the way. So, no matter the size of the project, always make sure you follow the design style and pattern so your interior looks cohesive.
Overcrowded Shelves
When it comes to shelving, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it. You can use as many shelves as you can, but make sure the space doesn’t look cluttered. Start experimenting with your space. Of course, you could even add floor-to-ceiling shelving to your home. But be sure to avoid packing in large items that can make a room look cluttered.
Wrong Size Sofa
Everyone wants their home to be unique. If your room is very small, the most common decorating mistake we make is pushing everything against the wall. You should have a few pieces of furniture that create interest and fluidity in the room. One way to add visual interest is to have a few chairs in the middle of the room. To achieve the right spacing, you need to have enough space for traffic to flow freely. However, when decorating your living room, make sure you leave at least 14-18 inches of space between the sofa and the coffee table so you can easily reach the coffee.
Too Many Colours And Patterns
Imagine a room with too many colours and patterns, well, it lacks character and interest. It doesn’t express your taste or individual style, and it may not suit the style of your home. Add a colour that matches your home’s overall interior or taste, rather than trying to match all the furniture.
Poor Lighting
Lighting is one of the biggest interior design mistakes we make. It’s an aspect you should control in your home. When it comes to lighting, you need to avoid lighting that is either too dim or too bright. If the lighting is wrong, it can ruin a room instantly. Builders often use substandard lighting fixtures for lighting. This can leave your home with dim or harsh lighting. Before moving into a new home, make sure your home has comfortable, well-lit lighting that includes task, ambient and accent lighting. A combination of wall, ceiling and ceiling luminaires will provide even lighting so you can move around safely and go about your daily activities.
Dense Art
Hanging drawings or artwork is a difficult skill to master. With a personalised art gallery, you can turn any wall in your home into a cherished space. Whether it’s a rare oil painting or your family photo, you should avoid putting too much art on your walls.
