So, in this piece of writing, you will see all those mistakes that common people make while designing their interior décor. However, you should read each point thoroughly in order to know how to avoid those mistakes.
Mistake# 1: Not Making a Focal Point or Having more than one Focal Points in a Room
A focal point centralizes the interior space that makes it the center of attention for everyone. The ideas may include but are not limited to incorporating a large dining table, highlighting the best part with lights, and adding a beautiful DIY artwork or a most favorite decorative design on the wall. This is achieved by making some design contrast to highlight that piece.
Rooms without any focal point look ordinary and boring. People are mostly fed up living in those places where they cannot find anything that looks extraordinary. Mostly, people use the same color tone everywhere and miss out on adding a unique contrast. The trick to avoiding this mistake is to choose one special thing that you want every newcomer to see at first glance, and choose its unique design when buying.
Mistake# 2: Trying to Match Everything
Although matching colors and tones is a great thing for interior designing, the addition of a little contrast is vital for some twists and unique interior décor. Especially the furniture color should look different and vivid. So, choose a furniture color that differentiates it from the floor and walls. Moreover, cushion and couch color must be unique so they must signify your interior design.
Mistake# 3: Doing either too much or too little
Emphasizing too much is always bad. Always choose optimal options– whether it’s color, design, size or budget. Also, too little might create an impression of cheap and unattractive. So, try to be at the middle of the two extremes– what we call “the most appropriate choice”. The intelligent saying is “smart work is much better than lots of hard works.”
Mistake# 4: Relying on a Single Light Source
Using only daylight through windows unable to light up the dark corners inside the room while making strange shadows along one side. This looks like a very old home– a horrible appearance. The use of appropriate lighting not only brightens up the interior space but also makes a sense of liveliness. Lighting is the most important thing that, if you incorporate wisely, can give the desired results for the whole interior design project.
Mistake# 5: Inappropriate Furniture
Furniture plays a key role in showing the most decorative environment. It shows your taste and personality as how much you know about decoration and organization. The choice of furniture should always be according to the size of your interior space in addition to your favorite design and budget. Luxury furniture for a small room is inappropriate. Similarly, cheap-looking furniture for a large area truly looks bizarre.
Mistake# 6: Miss Out Incorporating Enlarged Space Ideas
The most recommended thing that helps enlarge interior space is the mirror. More specifically, a frameless mirror gives an illusion of wider interior space. A large rectangle mirror works like magic to reflect the interior as if another room of similar size exists behind the wall mirror.
Rooms that don’t use mirrors look barren and small. It is not wrong to say that this will be a big blunder when you miss out on adding wall mirrors because this is a very low-budget trick that results in a highly functional interior design. A decorative round mirror can be placed in the TV lounge, bedroom, drawing room, and entrance.
Mistake# 7: Choosing Wall Colors Prior to Furniture & Curtains
One of the common mistakes that almost all people make is that they ignore the choice of furniture design and color prior to choosing the wall paint color. In other words, instead of choosing furniture according to the wall color, choose your wall color that matches the furniture and curtains.
Mistake# 8: Ignoring Minimalistic Décor Setting
Displaying cluttered items on the shelves or placing a lot of items on the floor to look decorative is a bad idea. Interior experts always mention minimalistic décor settings. The best trick to remove clutter and keep the interior minimalistic, organize items to redesign the interior settings that keep the space look wider and brighter.
Hope these tips will help you décor better and find your desired theme without much trouble or overspending.
Happy Decorating!
