Don't Decorate Disastrously
Avoid These 6 Common Home Decor Mistakes

I believe that creating a beautiful and functional living environment is essential to enhancing our quality of life. However, as per my experience in interior design, I've noticed that many people make common mistakes when it comes to home decor, which can detract from the overall aesthetic of their homes. In this blog post, I'm sharing tips on how to avoid these mistakes and create a cohesive home decor style that reflects your personal taste and lifestyle!

Practical Considerations

  • First, hanging artwork randomly can create a cluttered and disjointed look. To avoid this mistake, I recommend planning out your wall decor and arranging artwork and pictures in a thoughtful and deliberate way. Group pieces together that have a similar theme or color palette to create a cohesive look.
  • Second, pushing furniture against walls can make the room feel cold and uninviting. Instead, I suggest arranging furniture in a conversational grouping to create a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Experiment with different furniture arrangements until you find the perfect one for your space.
  • Third, not measuring the room before making purchases can result in buying items that are too large or too small for the space. To avoid this mistake, always measure your room and choose furniture and decor that fits appropriately. Don't forget to take into account any architectural features such as windows or doors.
  • In addition to these common mistakes, neglecting lighting, using too many patterns and textures, and ignoring the importance of storage can also detract from a cohesive home decor style. To avoid these mistakes, consider layering your lighting with a mix of overhead, task, and ambient lighting, using patterns and textures in moderation, and investing in multi-functional furniture to maximize storage space.
Creating a cohesive and stylish home doesn't have to be overwhelming.
