We all love designing homes and trying our hands at various hacks of what we think would look best in our spaces! Our own ideas and judgements bring light to our homes in the form of best interior designs. From spacing up the rooms properly to hanging those art pieces on the walls, home décor is an art that we all can execute on some level.

Though we can be best creators and designers of our homes, most of us are not professionals. Naturally, we are prone to some mistakes that can steal the charm from our home. Don’t let your misjudgment ruin your otherwise hard work. These mistakes may seem silly at the onset, but can become game changers when it comes to your home interiors.

Mistaken home décor designs that can destroy the beauty of your house interiors

Amidst selecting the best furniture to painting the walls to polishing the furniture, a certain amount of proper planning and styling is required. If these go haywire or even a little misplaced, they can give your home interior design a huge jerk. Let’s read about some of these points which can turn your magic to tragic in the décor domain.

Mismatched Paint Swatches

Allotting a proper theme in each of the rooms and painting those rooms accordingly is important in home designing. If your colours contrast drastically, they would create a sharp impact on the senses of occupants of that room. Therefore, it’s essential to select a matching or slightly contrasting theme, for example, beige with medium brown or pastels with cream, blue with white, etc., and to carry out the same look for a coordinating effect. You may seek help from some good interior Painters in Auckland. Ayda Painting and Decorating carry out the task of colouring your homes in the most exquisite way with a perfection that could charm up the place in no time.

Dark Coloured Furniture in Smaller Space

A house consists of various rooms, of which some may be large and others comparatively smaller. If you get dark coloured heavy furniture for the smaller rooms, it’ll make it look cluttered and dull. It’s always best to paint small areas in bright fresh hues, and furnish in keeping with the space available—remember to keep some free space for the easy flow of foot traffic.

Mounting Wall Clocks and Frames Too High

Wall clocks and art pieces add life to your walls. There has always been a stereotype of hanging them high up on the walls. If you have shed some solid bucks on an art piece, you might as well keep it in focus (rather than having it high up)—the eye level is the best height for handmade pieces of art or any other wall hanging as a matter of fact.

Stacking Up Furniture to the Walls

Most of us are space obsessed! We want our homes to look vast even though we have at least a dozen pieces of furniture cluttered in a single room. Therefore, even though we have larger spaces, we tend to push all the furniture to the corners of the walls to get some extra space in the house. This spacing of the furniture often makes them lose their purpose and it also looks cold and distant. Your home suddenly loses its warmth. These furniture pieces, however graceful they are, would look cornered and sidelined in this case, and they would just serve their actual purpose rather than adding beauty to the place. Imagine striking up a conversation in a room where the sofa and the chair are far apart and you have to actually get up from your seat to place (or grab) your drink on the nesting table.

Too Many Electrical Appliances in a Room

No doubt we are surrounded by gadgets today. But literally getting surrounded by them in a room can make your rooms look like a computer lab. There’s no point in flaunting your gadgets. These may get you entertainment and work done, but would steal the show away from your home. Try to plan the placement of your appliances beforehand and think of intelligently blending them with the décor or camouflaging them.

Wrong Rug Size and Colour

A mistake that can be very common in a home is a wrong sized rug for either a living room or bedroom. It can make a really bad impact on your room’s aesthetics. The size of the rug should coordinate with that of the room and also with the function you want it to perform. Also, if the colour of it isn’t appropriate, i.e. coordinating with the other elements of the room, it may be the game spoiler.

These mistakes may seem like minor ones, but they have the power to play the villain in your interior designing. It’s better to avoid them and put a little thought in proper placement of furnishings and furniture, and choosing the appropriate colour themes to get an impressive result!
