Home Décor Mistakes To Be Avoided

By: Azlan

With a little bit of creativity, combined with your awareness of your personal tastes and individual sense of style, plus unlimited resources, you can achieve an interesting decorating look for almost any room in their home. However, no matter how much money you have or much creativity you got, there are some things you should just never do.

Whether you’re going for casual, traditional, or even just decorating your kid’s room, these are some of the most common mistakes that are being committed again and again. It’s quite surprising how many people are found guilty of these things, really. I hope you’re not one of them.

Getting Furniture That Does Not Fit – Think about it; you wouldn’t wear clothes that are either too loose and baggy, or too tight and fitting on you, now would you? So why on earth would you go out and get furniture that won’t fit into your room? Before you shop for furniture, measure your space, think about where you're going to put the piece, and write it all down.

Using Too many Prints and Patterns – Please, don’t just go around picking up any fabric or upholstered furniture you see and like. Most people do this quite often, thinking all the while that they can find a way to work around it. Plan your color scheme, select a main pattern, then find coordinating stripes, small prints, and plaids that enhance your choice.

Select one main pattern, usually a large print, then get one coordinating print, and another plaid or striped fabric. Then call it quits. Anything more would be going overboard.

Leaving a Rug Floating – The elements in a room should be connected physically and visibly. Placing a rug on the floor effectively adds more color, charm, and that essential connection. However, a lot of rugs are still being left lying around without the edges safely tucked in under the legs of sofas, tables, chairs, etc. This is an accident just waiting to happen. It would be easy to trip on an edge or corner of the rug or slip and slide if the rug moves.

Push All the Furniture Up Against the Wall – You may think that a room will look larger if the middle of the floor is open, leaving the middle of the floor open. Actually, doing the opposite is definitely more effective. Place some of the furniture into groups in the center, unless you're going to have a dancing party in the middle of your room. You can perhaps place a sofa with a table behind it, or you can arrange some accessories and place a lamp behind it. Move chairs out of corners and you'll have a more open, airy look in your room.

Display All Your Knick-Knacks – Whether you collect knick knacks from travels like ash trays or salt and pepper shakers or fine pieces of sculpture or one-of-a-kind hand-blown glass, you shouldn't put everything out at one time. You’re in a home, not a museum. Pick out a few important items, particularly those of monetary or sentimental value. Then get rid of the rest, if you can. If not, put them away and rotate the items on display.
