5 ways to create a design disaster

You've watched hours of HGTV. You know the difference between the green "wise" and "celery green. And when it comes to painting your living room, even knowing the difference between finishing eggshell and satin. But even if you probably do a little do-it-yourself decorating mistakes. If you belong to one of the following five pitfalls of design, you certainly give up your designer purse-of-Year-.

1. Ignore the scale of the room. Nothing resembles in its place as furniture doll-size house in a large living room, or a baby grand piano stuffed in a cozy den. The furniture worked in your old house or an apartment can be simply out of scale for parts of your new home, so bite the bullet and replace Articles with furniture that makes sense.

2. Hang all your pictures too high. For some reason, most designers do-it-yourself hang pictures at a height that only works for players of NBA basketball. The focus of the work of art must be at the gallery, which is generally regarded as being at eye level for an average person who is 5 feet 7 inches tall. If you hang a picture to act as a decorative element for a table or lamp, the elements should be in 10 or 12 inches apart.

3. Display all the pieces of bric-a-brac that you have. In the interior, more is not necessarily better. If you have a large collection china rabbit, it can always be visible to display all together .. For some reason, an odd number in a group is visually more dynamic than in number together to select three or five of your favorites to see rabbits in a group, and send the rest of your collection in hibernation for a while. When change seasons, you can exchange the next group of rabbits.

4. all game. Have you ever entered a room where the wallpaper flowers matched the flowers in water, at the height of napkins and floral seat cushions seat? Did it not give you a headache? If this scenario describes a room in your house, you can replace the napkins with a flowered employed additional solid color, and rethink wallpaper.

The concept is the same for furniture. It is better to have two correspondents of furniture in a room, paired a couple of unique free. The best bathroom decor seems to have been carefully collected over a period of several years, rather than purchased the art of Van at once on a Saturday afternoon.

5. Make it precious. The last major error occurs when decorators home decor too much effort. The result is a piece that does a lot for a photo, but lacks any sort of appeal or warmth. If your guests are afraid to move a sofa pillow for fear of upsetting the table, you need to reevaluate your goals decoration. Maybe you can discuss the silk cushions for pillows casual clothes and make sure it is a comfortable place for customers put their feet.

By avoiding the five pitfalls described above, you can create a warm and welcoming place to live and entertain your family and friends. Remember, when decorating your home, the results should be more like you, and less like the Sears catalog.
