Psychologists believe that renovating an interior has a great effect on our emotional state. But sometimes, when we look at the finished result, we feel anger and disappointment. All this is because of the typical mistakes we make. Therefore, to save your mood, here are tips on what not to do when decorating an interior.
1. Poorly thought-out storage of things
Your home should be not only beautiful but also practical. That's why it's so important to store a variety of household items - from large items to small things. Before you start renovating, you need to think carefully about all the little things: where you will store winter clothes, shoes and jewelry, and where you will keep a vacuum cleaner, ironing board or bicycle. Perhaps you should buy a bed with an extra drawer for bedding, equip additional shelves in an empty niche in the kitchen, or set up a lounge by the window with a spacious drawer under it.
2. Clinging to old things
Sometimes there are so many different things in the house that it's hard to fit them all in, even if you think about the right places to store them. People often make one serious mistake: they don't want to part with old things they no longer use. It's no coincidence that Marie Kondo, the chief tidying expert, urges you to regularly audit your household - otherwise you risk being covered in unnecessary junk.
3. Chasing all the trends
We all want to follow fashion and keep up with the latest trends. But it's one thing to follow the trends, and quite another to try to fill your home with all the most fashionable things. Rely on timeless classics that will stand the test of time, and avoid fast trends. If you really want something bright and trendy, introduce it into the interior in small portions: let it be a vase, ceramics, an armchair or an art object.
4. Fill all the walls with furniture
Arranging all the furniture along the walls is one of the most common mistakes in room design. This is especially bad for long, elongated rooms. If the layout allows, you can use one design trick: move the sofa or armchair away from the wall and leave a passage behind them - this will create the illusion of more space. A table in the center of the room will also give space and a sense of "air".
5. Copying someone else's style
Your home is a reflection of your personality, not a copy of other people's interiors that you have spied in a fashion magazine or in the homes of your favorite stars. Determine what is really important to you, what you like and what you don't - it makes no sense to copy someone else's ideas. When you find your own style, you will understand what you want your home to look like
