How to Avoid Interior Decorating Mistakes

There are so many endless possibilities when it comes to decorating your home. It lets your creativity shine. There are downfalls to decorating your home, I have done this. Sometimes you just choose the wrong theme, color, or it’s just all wrong! Here are five of the top mistakes I have made and that you can avoid.

Color. I have been here, more then once! This can be a mistake that happens too often. Color is a very important part of the interior decorating process. It is very possible to go too dark, bright, or just something to plain. So, when choosing colors, try to avoid all white, bright hues, or real dark hues. You want to choose some thing subtle, but fun. I have done the too dark and it threw off the whole rooms’ decor.

Theme. Choosing the right theme can make all the difference. This will set the look for one whole room. So when you choose to decorate, find a theme that is you and can last a while. I have chose themes that are dull and I want to change in a month. Be sure not to stray from your favorites. Like, if you love vineyards, go with this theme. It could help you to come up with more ideas, sense its something you love. I have chose a theme of semi interest and it ended up being more boring then ever.

Busyness. This is a decorating mistake that I have also made too many times. Have you done this too? Chose too much for one room? This is definitely a mistake you want to avoid. Don’t over do the items put in any one room. Such as frames, statues, vases, etc. Too many of these items can throw the room all out of whack. People will have their eyes busy, instead of taking in the room all at once.

Matching. When it comes to decorating your home, don’t forget the theme. I have done this. Did it look ridiculous? Yes, of course. Now, not all needs to match perfectly, but you don’t want to have too many things going on at once. If your theme is grapes/vineyards, don’t mix in Italian/spaghetti theme. It looks odd and I don’t like it.

Knowing the Theme. The best thing to do, is remind people of your decor choice. If you chose orchids, make sure your family and friends are aware of this. Or you may just end up with sunflowers instead. You want to put out items you have been given, but sometimes it can throw off your decor choices. So, the best thing to do, is to be sure people are aware of your decor and the gifts your given are used, yet it does not throw off your decorating taste.

All these interior decorating choices are important when it comes to your home. From personal experience, its usually easier to learn form others mistakes, then from having to go through it yourself.
