Six mistakes to avoid while redecorating your home

Ordering  samples and creating a mood board are absolutely crucial steps in home
redecorating process. It can help in mixing and matching elements, and ensuring
your choices play well together like a symphony of style. Samples, whether they
be of fabrics, paints, or materials, will allow you to physically experience
and better understand how these elements will interact within your living
space.

It’s not  just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a home that resonates with you on a
personal level. So, order those samples and let your mood board be the captain
steering your decor ship to a place where style and comfort collide.

I   see this mistake over and over again! A couple buys a house and the first thing
they pick are paint colors and they start painting!!! Hold the paintbrush,
folks! This is such a common blunder - diving headfirst into painting walls
before locking in furniture and furnishings. It’s like choosing the main course
before even glancing at the menu. Trust me, even if you’re sticking with
neutrals or whites, the color game is a slippery slope. There’s gazillion
shades out there, and what looks like a serene beachy white in the store might
scream hospital room in your living space. Imagine committing to a wall color
and then realizing your dream sofa clashes. Yes, it could be customized, but
you are limiting yourself with fabric selections, plus it would be so much more
expensive. Please, save yourself the decor drama and pause on the paint job. You
have to look at the bigger picture (go back to #1). 

Before you unleash your inner design guru, take a moment to measure those entrance  doors and hallways. You won’t believe how often it gets overlooked and new purchases  can’t fit through the front door or make a turn through a narrow hallway! It’s
the unsung hero move that can save you from a decor disaster. So, before you decide
to go ahead and order that sectional of your dreams or a large and comfy rocker
for a nursery on the second floor with a narrow hallway, grab that tape
measure, channel your inner DIY superhero, and make sure your furniture will
have a smooth and stress-free entrance…

Undersized rugs are a common misstep that can throw off the entire aesthetic balance of a  room. Picture a postage-stamp-sized rug lost in the vast expanse of your living  room, leaving your furniture looking like it’s tiptoeing on the sidelines. A
rug should be the anchor, not a mere afterthought. So, when choosing one, think
big! A well-sized rug should ground your furniture so that the front legs of
sofas or armchairs sit at least a foot on the rug. The rug should define different
zones and tie your decor elements together in harmony. And, if a standard size
does not work, you can always order any broadloom carpet cut and finished into
a desired size and shape. 

Hold up, renovation enthusiasts! Before you grab that sledgehammer or turn your spare  bedroom into a swanky shoe closet, let’s talk long-term love for your home.
Knocking down walls or transforming spaces might seem like a genius move now,
but think twice before you make a design leap. That third bedroom? It could be
your office, a guest room, or even a future nursery. That glass-enclosed
shower? Sure, it’s Instagram-worthy, but remember, the water stains and the hassle
cleaning it. And those walls? Yes, an open concept floor plan seems like a
great idea at the moment. But when pandemic hit, then people realized the value
of a private space and the ability to close that door! So, before you make your
home the star of a design show, consider the long-term plot twists. Your
lifestyle might evolve, and what seems like a brilliant idea today could be
tomorrow’s “what was I thinking?” moment. Renovate with tomorrow in mind,
and your home will thank you for the thoughtful TLC.
