The ten most common decorating mistakes
When you feel your home or room just does't feel right, it's likely you have made one or many of the most common decorating mistakes. Many of my clients say that a "room just does not feel right", however they are unable to say what it is. During a consultation we identify and correct the mistakes together, and the re-decoration always makes a great impact in how the room feels. The ten most common decorating mistakes* are the guiding principles when I help clients and friends redecorate a room or a house.
- Not defining your priorities
- An uncomfortable conversation area
- Poor furniture placement
- A room that is off-balance
- Furniture of different heights
- A room that lacks a cohesive look
- Ignoring the room's focal point
- Improper use of artwork
- Ineffective use of accessories
- Using lighting incorrectly
