Interior Designer Reveals 4 Surprising Home Decor Mistakes and Easy Fixes
An interior designer has shared four common home decor mistakes that many homeowners make, offering simple solutions to elevate living spaces. According to the designer, who has three years of experience, these issues often surprise her with their prevalence. The first point addresses hallways, which are frequently left plain white. The designer suggests painting doors, skirting boards, or even ceilings to create a more impactful first impression of a home. Secondly, bedrooms often lack personality, characterized by plain bedding and an absence of artwork. The designer advises homeowners to personalize their bedrooms, as it is a space where a significant amount of time is spent. The third mistake highlighted pertains to gallery walls, which are often hung incorrectly. Artwork placed too high or too far apart diminishes the overall effect. The recommendation is to hang artwork at eye level and group pieces closer together for greater visual impact. Finally, the designer notes that many homes still do not utilize dimmable lighting. Emphasizing the importance of mood, she suggests that not every moment requires full brightness, advocating for adjustable lighting options to enhance ambiance.
