Read More5 Common Interior Design mistakes you might see yourself making
The task of designing and decorating the interiors of your house may seem daunting at first which might push you to take some hasty decisions, common, avoidable mistakes and much more. The task at hand is such that, it’s not easy to avoid such mistakes. This is where we come in, we cannot avoid the unavoidable but we can ensure that the damage is minimal when you look at the big picture.
Here are 5 mistakes you are most likely to commit during the course of designing your dream home
1. Not having a Plan
This is by far one of the most common mistakes everyone commits at the beginning of their journey of designing their dream home. Interior design is a niche that can be mastered over time with experience and proper academic backing and definitely not something you can wing by yourself. Having a skeletal plan can help when you consult a professional to help you. It is important that you do your home work before approaching an Interior Design professional. With collaborated efforts you can come up with a comprehensive plan that covers everything under the sun.
2. Lighting
Creating the right kind of plan for the lighting in your house is extremely essential. If your home does not welcome ample amount of natural light you’ll have to plan ahead and use mirrors or artificial lighting options that won’t make your space look dull and gloomy. There are many types of lights you can experiment with like recessed lights, accent lights, mood lighting, focus lights and much more. Mirrors are useful artefects that reflect and bounce natural light off of it making the space look brighter and bigger. Using harsh lights can create an unpleasant effect while dull lighting can make the space look dull. Layer your lighting options and experiment with the help of a specialist or a professional.
3. A few too many decor items
Though we are slowly moving away from a minimalist approach, too much is still too bad. Too many unsorted, unorganized and uncategorized items can make the space look cluttered and messy. It is important to understand scale while arranging decor items. It is a when you try to understand the scales and proportions of different items, decor or furniture, and use that understanding to make you space look interesting. By being able to understand and apply the rules of scale and proportion to Interior design you don’t have to end up with small furniture just because you have a small place.
4. Not fully utilizing the walls
Gone are the days of bare walls, your walls can quite literally be your canvas or hang canvas. Hanging art, photo frames, eclectic art pieces, wallpapers etc can spruce up your entire living space and make it more lively. Every wall needs a little bit of decking up.
5. Fabric vs Furniture, what comes first?
Colorful, artsy fabric can capture anyone’s attention, but can you really pick out fabrics before you pick the furniture? No. It makes little to no sense to pick out the fabrics before you decide what furniture or what make you’d be picking. There are certain mistakes that can become blunders and this is just one of them.
