Decoration Your Own Home With a Style

Decorating a home can be a fun adventure for some, but a daunting task for others. With so many choices these days, it's easy to get overwhelmed.

Here are some decorating mistakes to avoid when you're ready to update your home decor.

1. Stick to style

Living room and bedroom sets give the home a harmonious look, but don't overdo it. Too many matching pieces in your living room and bedroom can make your interior look unpredictable.

Adding different styles of furniture can add a strong personality to your home. For example, if you have a modern sofa and a matching loveseat, try adding an ornate cocktail table with detailed details. If your living room is traditional, you can choose elegant cabinets with modern lines to add interest.

2. Using the wrong substance

While you may love the look of raw silk in your living room, this delicate fabric may not be ideal for families with small children or pets.

Unless you have a rarely used adults-only living room, numerous leather upholstery and performance fabric options hold up well and perform well.Performance fabrics allow you to wear on-trend light shades without the risk of staining. You can have fun.

3. Forget proportions
When designing a room, think about the size and use of the room. Families may visit frequently, but huge sections aren't the best choice in smaller spaces.

Use your sense of balance when deciding on furniture. An oversized wing chair can overwhelm the space, but a small side table won't give you the balance you need to offset a large sofa or loveseat.

4. Don't use accent pieces
Accent furniture is designed to stand out in a room and make a bold style statement. Unlike the occasional piece of furniture, such as an extra dresser in the bedroom that matches the bedroom's décor, an accent piece can be a different style, color, or material than the existing furniture in the room.

Choosing an accent piece shows your personality and good taste. A separate bar, tasteful electric fireplace, or striking console adds character and serves as the focal point of the room.

5. Wrong lighting choice
A room that is too bright will look ugly and overwhelm you. Proper lighting from table lamps, ceiling lights, and natural light from windows and glass doors can make your space comfortable and functional.

Lighting can spice up your home decor by adding beauty and drama. Think uplights that showcase a work of art, three trendy pendant lights, and under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen.
