The best way to appreciate your home makeover efforts is to come up with flawless design ideas. Flawless designs are the peak point of any interior designers’ portfolio, and this is the same for you as a homeowner.
We have all seen interior designs go wrong before and this is usually a consequence of not paying the required attention to the things that matter most in the interior design concept. The way to avoid mixing it all up is byensuring that you stay away from the common mistakes that interior designers make.
Here are a few of such mistakes and how best to go about eliminating them while planning your home design.
Furniture Overload
As beautiful as having furniture as part of your home décor is, wrongfully placing and overstocking it can be a total disaster.
The overload does not just make the home look too busy, it also has a way of making sure that the elegance that comes with having great open spaces in the home is lost.
Imagine having a home where you struggle to find an empty space in the living room basically because there are just too much unnecessary fittings in the first place.
If this problem already exists, the best solution is to make provision to move out some piece of furniture as this will make room for other lovely design concepts.
Paying Less Attention To Lighting
Lighting is everything that makes it possible for you to see the ambiance and exquisiteness of the home.
That’s why it is always advisable that you have multiple sources of light to radiate the class and grandeur of the home.
What is the point of putting together a great piece of design without having the illumination to express and showcase the beauty.
As such, experts advice that you have a minimum of 8 artificial light sources which are easily accessible at every point in time.
Overemphasizing The Walls
Walls are the most visible part of the home. Hence, special attention must be paid to it while coming up with interior design concept at inception.
Don’t make the mistake of directing the core attention of your design to the walls. See it as a means of bringing value to the entirety of your design.
Do you want us to see that you have a good door rather than a great appliance or you are particular about letting us know the quality embedded in the pictures on the wall? So, let the walls speak for you.
Lack Of Storage
It is just very normal for a home with a sleek design to have a corresponding storage plan. This is important because it helps you keep things that are not very vital to the beautification of your home out of sight.
So, you need to have that storage backup for your appliances, equipment, old items and unboxed pieces of hardware that might have their own place in the future.This will even make more room for space in critical parts of the home.
A Gutless Design
Before setting out to making that design, have you figuredout what you want?Do you have an idea of your design desire and how to blend it with your unique blend of personalized taste?
Did you follow your instinct with the colors and the total feel of the whole concept?
If your response to all this question is not in the affirmative, then there is a problem.
A gutless design makes it impossible for you to personalize your home to suit your taste. Following recent trends in design without blending it with your unique self is embracing the concept of a gutless design.
Our living area is a bit of a hodge podgeof stuff. We have an open plan space and we homeschool so design isn’t high on my list of things but I do have a stunning Pinterest board with ideas 🙂
These are all such great ideas. We loved redesigning our family room, but then we just kept adding too much “stuff” back into it. So it’s time to remove things or find better storage systems.
