5 Decorating Mistakes You Don't Want to Make.

  • Decorating your home is a fun adventure for some, but an intimidating chore for others. With so many choices these days it's easy to become overwhelmed.
  • Here are some steps to avoid when you are ready to update your home decor.

1. Sticking to One Style 

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

You can give your home a strong dose of personality by adding furniture in a different style. For example, if you have a contemporary sofa and matching loveseat, try adding an elaborate cocktail table with lots of detail. If your living room is traditional, you can choose an elegant armoire with modern lines to add interest.

2. Using the Wrong Fabric

You might love the look of raw silk for your living room, but that delicate fabric may not be the best choice if you have a family with young children and a pet.

If you don't have an adults-only living room that is rarely used, plenty of leather upholstery and performance fabric options can stand up to use and perform well. With performance fabrics, you can enjoy trendy lighter shades without the risk of stains.

3. Forgetting About Proportions

When you design your room, think about the size and how the room will be used. You may have family over frequently, but a huge sectional is not the best choice in a smaller space.

Use your sense of proportion when making furniture decisions. An oversized wing chair can overpower the room, while diminutive end tables won't provide the balance you need to offset larger sofas and love seats.

4. Not Using Accent Pieces

Accent furniture is designed to stand out in a room and make a bold statement of style. Unlike occasional furniture like an extra chest in a bedroom that matches the bedroom set, accent pieces are likely to be in a different style, color, or material than the existing furniture in the room.

When you choose an accent piece, you are expressing your personality and great taste. A free-standing bar, a high-style electric fireplace, or a distinctive console can add character and act as a focal point in the room.

5. Picking the Wrong Lighting

An overly bright room can look tacky and feel overwhelming. The right lighting from table lamps, overhead fixtures, and natural light streaming through windows and glass doors can make your room inviting and functional.

Lighting can add beauty and drama to kick your home decor up a notch. Think up highlighting a work of art, trendy pendant lights in groups of three, and under cabinet lighting in the kitchen for an impressive effect.
