Good interior design can turn a house into a home, and that's why it's so important.

At the same time, interior design mistakes can make it look dull and unwelcoming.

There are some popular mistakes people make while decoration their living spaces.

Poor lighting

Insufficient or harsh lighting can make a space feel unwelcoming or uncomfortable. Over-reliance on overhead lighting without incorporating other sources, such as task lighting or ambient lighting, can create an unbalanced or gloomy atmosphere.

Ignoring scale and proportion

Choosing furniture and decor that are either too large or too small for a room can throw off its balance and visual harmony. Oversized furniture can overwhelm a small space, while undersized pieces may make a larger room feel empty or underutilized.

Poor color choices and overwhelming patterns

Overuse of vibrant or clashing colors, or an excessive number of busy patterns, can create visual chaos and make a space feel visually overwhelming.

Lack of personalization and character

Overlooking the opportunity to infuse your personality and interests into the design can result in a generic and uninspiring space. Incorporate personal items, meaningful artwork, or unique accessories that reflect your style and create a space that feels like home.
