Home décor mistakes are inevitable to every home. Interior designers have already noticed the good interior and the bad. They have even seen the strange décor that other house owners are doing inside their home sweet home.
But there are 10 most notable home décor mistakes that the house owners are doing which are encouraged to be corrected by the experts.
First is the attitude of over-decorating. Ann Haagenson, the divisional merchandise manager at Anthropologize, said. "It's important to have visual pauses in rooms to create quiet moments."
This is where the mistake took place. People usually think that if they add more stuff to fill the space that makes the house more attractive. If they just have to set their home to the trending 2016 home interior decors, it's more on the statement "less is more."
Second is the disunited materials placed in the same space. Don Stewartt, designer, said that there most of the house owners are placing different pieces of furniture with different themes in one same place. This makes the area more crowded.
He said, "Too many different materials in the same space! I tend to be a materials minimalist. Reducing your materials palette is key to a clean, timeless look."
Third mistake is the avoidance of the house owners to take risks to home decorating. According to Justina Blakeney, designer, artist, author, said that the inability of the people to take risks when decorating their homes make the spaces of the house too safe or feel paralyzed.
"Their houses end up looking cookie-cutter with zero personality. I believe it's important to try things out when decorating a home. Paint a wall a crazy color! Hang up a huge painting that you scored at a garage sale!"
She added, "If you get tired of the way something looks, change it up. I like to think of the home as a wet canvas; the process of home décor is ever-evolving. If you mess up and it looks terrible, you've learned something, right? The end result should match your personality."
Fourth mistake is the level of the curtains when it's hung. "Curtains are mounted too low," Katie Hodges, interior designer, added, "Aim to mount them as close to the ceiling as possible - it will make the ceilings look higher."
Fifth mistake is the inability of the pieces of furniture to match the space needed. They're either too big or too small for the space. Maria Brito, an interior designer, author, and curator, said that they need to trick the eye by using the opposite size to the space needed to make everything meaningful.
Sixth mistake is the boringness of the interior of the house. Sara Story, designer, explained that in a house, the furniture and the all the other materials placed in the space should cultivate interest and engagement from the residents or the guests.
Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe, who are also interior designers, said, "When there is no place to put your drink" is also a big mistake. This is the seventh mistake that every house owners are doing.
Eighth mistake included is the habit of purchasing items, furniture and other materials for home decorating in just one store or perhaps one collection or showroom. Sasha Bikoff, interior designer, said that they should learn how to manage their time to scout more companies offering these interior designs in a good mix.
Ninth mistake is the fact they neglect the value of the rug. Anne Hepfer, interior designer, said that they should never under-value or under-scale a rug. Although they are just rugs, they should make them more apt to the designs of the house.
"So many people under-scale a rug, which makes a room feel smaller and unbalanced. Dining chairs should never fall off a rug when pulled out."
She added, "If we're scaling a rug for a room, typically we measure anywhere from 6 to 12 inches off the walls or baseboard."
The last mistake noticed by most of the interior designers is the "playing safe" kind of home decorating. This is somehow related to what the previous Blakeny said that the house owners tend to avoid taking risks when decorating their house which resulted to this kind of hideous mistake.
