7 Interior Design Mistakes in American Home

Number 1# Toilet rug

Toilet rugs are cut to fit around the toilet and sometimes have the carpet-like matching seat cover. Please get rid of them immediately and use a rectangular real rug.

Number 2# Your home is not a showroom

Do not try to match everything in your room. All pink or purple is just for catalogs and companies to sell furniture not the design. They give you an idea of what you might have in your house but you need to design it by yourself. Chose your color and touch the room with it. Text me your room picture and let me help you with your design.

Number 3# Big furniture

Remember showrooms are much bigger than your house and furniture look smaller in big space. Measure your room and be realistic when you buy any furniture piece for your space. It is better even if you have a layout of your space when you go shopping.

Number 4# Color and pattern everywhere

Use pattern and color with conscious in your home. Too many colors make your home busy and crowded and too many patterns make it distracting to people.

Number 5# Too many accessories

It is understandable that you have too many stuff and things to decorate your house but do not need to have it all out.Store them for a bit and change your decoration every six months to give a new and fresh look to your house. You can make them as a small group and change your design when you get bored of the existing one.

Number 6# Fake flowers

Fake flowers and plants are a huge mistake.They get dusty and do not bring any value or life into your house. If you think fresh flower is expensive there are more alternative. Put lemon, orange or pomegranate in a bowl or use some dried material like curly willow or woolen yarn for a fresh look.

Number 7# Photos and more photos

Some people are really attached to their photos and have a difficult time giving up of them on their walls or table. Are you one of them? Use photo album. Get nice albums, organize your pictures based on event or time and arrange them on a bookshelf. Also, same as accessories you replace the old one on the wall with a new one  every six months.
