Top Home Decor Mistakes and How to Fix Them

 

Admittedly, it is both exciting and frightening to design a house. You have a vision in mind though there might be some slight detour between the paint swatches and the furniture assembly directions. The result? a space that appears to be out of place, yet you do not quite know why. Luckily you are not alone. Almost everybody makes the same group of most common decor blunders. The even better news? They are rather easy to rectify. This is not a guideline but rather a guide from the decorator to a fellow decorator to guide you towards what is almost there and surely there to complete your space.

The Fallacy: Does not it make the most sense to begin with? Choose a color by using some samples of the paint and then apply. Your wood furniture conflicts with the coolness below, or that "Tranquil Mist" gray is jarringly blue on the occasion that you carry in your sofa. You have gotten yourself in a tight spot both literally and symbolically. The Simple Secret: Think of your walls as the background not as the point of interest. Begin with the more expensive and less moveable items, such as your sofa, a large area rug or a favorite piece of art.

After having those basic elements, you can pick a paint color in their palette. This also ensures that the appearance is cohesive and appears intentional and not incidental. The Mistake: We often will have curtains right over the frames of the windows. It is logical but visually breaks the wall in half, creating the illusion that your ceilings are shorter and the space itself is more claustrophobic and old-fashioned The Shortcut Answer: Appear to be taller! The curtain rod must be suspended much higher, at least a few inches at the top, or half-way up to the ceiling.

False Hope The enemy of ambience is the big light--that single harsh ceiling light. It turns a room into more of an interrogation room than a living room, flattens out a room and brings in ugly shadows. The Mistake: It is a very common mistake to select a rug that is too small to fit into the space. The furniture looks lost and dismembered as a postage stamp in the middle of the space. The Simple Way Out: Your rug should serve as a base of conversation space. Choose a size of your living room that will make your significant pieces of furniture (chairs, sofas, etc.) comfortable to lie on it at least, the front legs of these pieces. This unites the room giving it a definite cohesive atmosphere.

The Shortcut: Nominate, rather than organize. Mix and match! With a rustic wooden coffee-table, set it off with a modern velvet sofa. A metal lamp can also be added to a traditional bookshelf. Such a multiplicity of style, texture, and periods makes your work three-dimensional and assists you in narrating your own story. The Mistake: We often overhang artwork, and that disrupts the visual flow of the room by putting an awkward space in between the artwork and the furniture. The Simple Solution: Hanging art so that its focus is at eye level, that is, some 57 to 60 feet off the floor, is a marvelous general principle. As one large item when your gallery wall is made, and make it central by the same rule.

Designing a Home That Feels Truly Yours

The Simple Idea: Be inspired by what you live.< You have to live in a house. Ask yourself, Is this beautiful, and practical to me? before making a purchase. Choose a designer sofa which is comfortable. To hide mess, it is best to select a media console that is closed storage. True comfort is the very pinnacle of luxury. Home decor is more of a process and not an endpoint. Rather frequent are some setbacks on the way.

This is because the aim is to make the place authentic to you, not to immediately build a dreamy, glossy-looking house, but to make one that is beautiful to gaze at and fantastic to inhabit. By knowing these ten common errors and remedies, which are so easy and forgiving, you may build yourself a house that is well-balanced and useful, and that has all the warmth and character that you alone can bring.
