Home Design Ideas: How to Avoid the Biggest Decorating Mistakes

March 25, 2021 By Autumn

When you make expensive home design costs you want to make sure you’re not going to make mistakes that could last for years. You should get a swath of fabric and make sure if you are getting a custom piece that it is exactly what you want. One of the most common mistakes is that people tend to clutter up their decorum with many extra pieces in an attempt to fancy things up. A lot of times these just end up making everything too busy and destroys the character.

Key Takeaways:

  • Do your homework and get a LARGE swatch of the fabric and bring it home. Live with it for a while (at least a few days) and see it in different lighting, at varied times of day.
  • Try clearing off your surfaces and look at the personality of the room without the decorative clutter. Then put back only what the space specifically calls for.
  • You can anchor such an arrangement with a proper sized rug, so the floating pieces have more of a cohesive look.

“Making a mistake on a made-to-order piece is a costly error. Typically you have little recourse, and usually the custom aspect makes the piece more expensive than usual.”
