The most common mistakes in interior design
1. Solid interior
Colorful wallpaper, colorful carpets, furniture with intricate prints - now it's almost considered a mauveton, because monochrome interiors look much more presentable and stylish. But the trouble is that monotony often becomes too boring!
If you do not want the decoration of walls and ceilings, as well as furniture and textile decoration, selected in a single tone, turn into a faceless spot, decorate your interior with bright colors with the help of suitable accessories or unobtrusive print.
The plain interior should be diluted with the bright accessories
The overly light interior
2. Overabundance of
items A small variety of designer items and accessories can not be kept from casual purchases. First, you decorate the room with lovely trinkets, then decide to occupy a free wall with the picture you like, then find use for a few stylish vases, candlesticks and caskets. As a result, your room, no matter how stylish it was initially, is reminiscent of a storeroom, where instead of cosiness there is a lack of space and freedom.
Remember that when choosing interior accessories it is important to be guided by moderation.

3. The props in the interior
Artificial flowers, "philistine" stucco, pompous false columns, paintings in gilded frames - all this looks luxurious on the stage, but in no wayin the interiors of living quarters. Unnecessary decorative elements, especially if they do not combine with the general interior direction, often look too out of harmony and unnatural.

4. Furniture arranged around the perimeter of the room
It used to be used to install furniture along the walls, because it saves space. However, any savings should be reasonable, and the free central part of the room against the backdrop of cluttered walls and corners most often resembles a dance floor.
To make the interior of the room really cozy and comfortable, rationally use the free space, without fear of using the middle.

5. Loss of style unity
The most common mistakes in interior design are associated with the loss of style unity. If you choose a style to decorate the room, match it from the beginning to the end. In a good interior everything, including decoration, furniture, textiles and accessories should be harmoniously combined with each other.

6. Improper zoning
There are several ways of zoning a room, one of which is to use different colors. However, the abundance of shades in the interior is very often boring and, moreover, creates unnecessary accents.
If you want to demarcate a room into several functional areas, it is better to use furniture.

7. "Barricades" of furniture items
If furniture prevents you from moving freely around the room - immediately make a reshuffle. No matter how small the area of the room, it is necessary to maintain a balance between clutter and space.

8. Wrong decoration of walls
Often it is the walls that set the main tone for interior decoration. Now there are a lot of interesting ways to finish them, but they do not always look harmonious. For example, the use of an accent wall or bas-reliefs looks beautiful only in spacious rooms. Wallpaper with vertical stripes or vertical prints visually increase the area of a small room, but violate the proportions in rooms with a large area.

9. Lack or excess of light
Lighting not only makes the stay in the room comfortable, but also gives a final accent to the interior. The shortage, as well as the oversupply of light, can destroy all your efforts. Therefore, in addition to central lighting, think of additional light sources in the form of sconces, floor lamps, built-in lamps, etc.

10. "Empty" windows
Windows without curtains and curtains are a distinctive detail of Scandinavian style and loft style. However, refusal to decorate windows in other interior directions will be a gross mistake, which will deprive your room of coziness, and interior - completeness.

11. Original pieces of furniture and accessories
Fashion designers call on us not to be afraid to express our own "I" with the help of original decorative elements and non-standard solutions. However, the mistake of interior designers is that they do not specify an important rule - every detail of the interior should harmoniously fit into the overall style. Perhaps a round bed or a statue of a dancing African deity and look beautiful, but that does not mean that they will fit into the style of your room.

13. "Complicated" ceilings
Many mistakes in the creation of the interior are associated with improperly designed ceilings. It may seem that complex multi-level ceilings with lots of lighting and decorative elements will give your interior originality, but in reality they will reduce the height of the room and, most likely, will smudge the accents of the interior style.

14. Non-standard wall decoration
The desire for excessive originality can be traced not only in the ways of creating interiors, but also in the materials used to decorate the wall surface. For example, a wooden lining, designed to complement the ethnic style, often turns a city apartment into a kind of cottage. Textured plaster is associated with a hospital or other industrial premises, and bright wall-papers bring unnecessary dissonance to the interior.
