Want to create a problem for yourself? Start repairing anyhow! 6 mistakes that can ruin the interior of your apartment in the blink of an eye

Are you not happy with a new, fresh renovation? Or maybe completely annoying? Unfortunately, this situation can arise with anyone and everyone. Let's figure out why this is happening!

Good afternoon dear friends!

The feeling of irritation and discomfort may appear immediately after the repair is completed or after several weeks. But where does this feeling come from in a seemingly stylish and beautifully furnished apartment? Everything is very simple! There are nuances and subtleties that are important to consider when arranging a home.

So, in order not to be disappointed "after", I have compiled a list of 6 main mistakes that many make when decorating and arranging their homes.

Mistake # 1. 100% symmetry. Symmetrical design should lead to balance and tranquility in the interior, but everything is fine in moderation. There is no need to strive for perfect symmetry in every detail. For example, it is common to try to balance both sides of the sofa by choosing the same bedside tables, lamps, and carpets. This design quickly becomes boring!

So don't be afraid to introduce a bit of asymmetry. It is enough to replace one of the elements: a wall lamp with a floor lamp, add a cabinet of a different shape or a rug in a contrasting color. Small decorative items, for example, pillows or photographs, are also capable of "violating" the clear order in the interior.

Mistake # 2. Using more than 3 colors. Probably, I should have made this point first, because three colors are the law for a designer. This is the foundation on which the aesthetic interior is built. And if you exceed the number of colors and shades, then the interior will 100% lose its clear consistent structure and will look overloaded.

Just do not rush to urgently throw out objects with a small presence of the fourth color. A small colored dot on a carpet or upholstery is not capable of spoiling the overall impression of it.

An exception to the rule is the use of white. If this is not the main tone of the room, then its limited use is quite acceptable. So, for example, to neutral colors: beige, black, white - you can safely add light gray or mustard.

Mistake number 3. Wrong size curtains. Never sew curtains to fit the window! They must go beyond it. Choose wide curtains that allow the curtains to be fully pulled back and the window open. The maximum distance from the ceiling is 10 centimeters, no more! The higher the curtain, the higher the whole room appears.

The length of the curtains is a very difficult and controversial issue. Some people think that they should rise 1-2 cm above the floor. Others call for the curtains to be pulled down to the floor, forming an elegant fold at the bottom. By the way, modern trends still tend to the latter option, despite its impracticality.

Mistake # 4. Furniture against the walls. Do not place furniture evenly along all walls. It's just visually boring. Try to come up with some interesting and original furnishings. Maybe you should move the sofa closer to the center, and put a small table behind it. Or place an armchair in front of a bookcase.

Of course, not in all rooms furniture can be moved away from the walls, but no one forbids moving 1-2 small details.

Mistake # 5. Ignore the carpet. Someone will say that carpets are hopelessly outdated. Don't listen to these grumblers! The carpet can decorate the space, combine various interior elements (sofa, armchairs, coffee tables and ottomans) into a single seating area, and add color and a touch of style (bohemian, vintage or modern) to your setting, thereby allowing you to express your individuality.

By the way, purchasing a carpet that is too small is also a common mistake. It visually reduces the area of ​​the room, which makes it seem a little awkward or even ridiculous. It is more correct to occupy the entire space between the furniture with a carpet. Its edges should literally disappear underneath.

Mistake # 6. Ignore lighting. Oh yeah! Lighting is the thing that needs to be taken care of at the very beginning of the renovation. I strongly recommend that you consider ways to increase the number of fixtures.

You must have:

- main light source (large chandelier in the center or ceiling lights);

- functional lighting (bedside lamp, sconces on the wall by the chair, lighting in the kitchen);

- decorative lighting that will create an atmosphere and serve as a decoration for the entire interior, etc.

Well, that seems to be all!
