Interior Design Mistakes and How to Fix Them!
Designing and decorating your home can be a fun and enjoyable experience!
…but it can also be challenging and time consuming.
Between new trends, choosing furniture pieces, and experimenting with paint colors, there are many small decisions that go into styling the perfect home. Even the slightest mistakes can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of a space.
Redfin reached out to designers across North America (including us!) to gather tips for how to correct common home design and décor mistakes. Our tip below is all about scale and proportion - something that is often overlooked, but when done right, makes such a difference!
Not considering scale and proportion
Scale is of the utmost importance when creating a visually balanced space. Too many small and same-sized items on shelves looks messy and cluttered, we don’t want that. Don’t be afraid of larger-sized pieces and assorted shapes, because the intriguing blend of varying scale is what we want! And, never underestimate the value of negative space between objects and clusters - this is a sure game-changer. - Catherine Yuen, Catherine Yuen Interior Design
