Are you planning to remodel your home? Many people approach the situation without a clear idea of the end result. This can cost a lot of time and money.
Mistakes that we make when furnishing our apartment or house can limit our everyday life and reduce the joy of the new furnishings. Here’s how to avoid it.
Get advice from a subject matter specialist
Are you planning a major redesign of your home, such as a new room layout? If you need a larger bathroom or want to connect several rooms, then leave such major changes to the specialists. Major changes require well-thought-out and precise planning and can only be carried out by a professional.
Less is more
Many households try too hard to look good. Either the rooms are too perfectly color-coordinated so that the apartment looks bland, or it’s a mix of colors and patterns that don’t match at all. Thus, the rooms are either characterless, or they look oversaturated. Choose the golden mean, combine furniture that is in the same style and colors that harmonize well with each other. Let your individuality flow in by inserting an element that you specifically like and does not necessarily fit 100 percent into the concept.
The same goes for accessories: less is more. It is not necessary to fill every living space, so that there are vases or other decorative furniture on all tables. It’s better to go for minimalism. The living space will appear larger and lighter if there is nothing in some places. The most important thing is to leave enough space so that access to windows, cabinets and other furniture is not barricaded.
Don’t copy
We’ve all been there. You go to visit friends and see a beautiful new table, armchair or other piece of furniture that inspires you. But before you decide on a new purchase, you should think about it carefully. Do you really need the furniture? And most importantly, will it fit in your home?
Don’t copy each other’s trends. Find something that suits your style and needs and get inspired.
