Common decor mistakes and how you can dodge them
No matter how hard you try, at times it seems impossible to achieve a pleasing yet elegant-looking home. Maintaining visual balance for the overall look of your interiors is crucial but difficult to acquire. While there are various ways to add visual appeal to your home, people often do things wrong. Here are some tips on how to dodge common decor mistakes:
Balance the visual weight
Lokendra Singh Ranawat, CEO and Co-Founder of a premium furniture brand says, "The most crucial aspect while achieving appealing interiors is to balance the visual weight." "Never over decorate your space with bold elements. Create focal highlights instead of over-decorating a room." That way the eye will catch that one major photo frame or furniture in the room and not wander around overwhelmed.
Go with your instincts
Color contrasting is tough for many--it can be a daunting task to decide the theme of your house without understanding what you want. Always follow your gut when selecting shades for your interior. Understand what kind of decor elements you want and which shade would go best with it. It is always wise to decide on the room's color based on your furniture.
Play right with the light
A vital decor element that often gets overlooked is light. Buying a majestic light fixture as a focal highlight is not just it. You must also place your lighting smartly to create a gleaming spotlight on your decoratives while enhancing the style of your space. You have to play right with the light angles and temperatures to glam up your interiors suitably.
Choose the right size of rug
Raghunanadan Saraf, Founder and CEO of a luxury furniture brand says, "Smaller rugs are one of the most widely recognized décor mistakes." All furniture should be perched on the carpet. In the event that this is beyond the realm of possibilities, the front legs of more strong furniture pieces should be on the mat while the hind legs can be outside.
Do not push all the furniture against the walls
The size of your room can make this troublesome, but attempt to pull furniture away from the walls to make more intimate discussion regions in the living room. Contrary to popular belief, pulling the furniture away from the walls will give items some breathing room and make the space appear larger, and create a better sense of balance.
