15. Design Mistake: Not Measuring The Spaces In Your Home Properly
You may fall in love with a great piece of furniture at the store, but do you have the space for it? If you bring it home, you can fall into a big problem and realize that you don’t have any space to put this amazing furniture. Trying to cram it into an area that’s too small will only end up making the room feel smaller, and no one wants that. When you go out shopping to decorate your home, be sure to measure for the space you’re planning so that you know what your limitations are.
Finding the aesthetics you’re looking for is much easier than finding a piece that will fit in the space you’re planning. Before you leave home, measure the areas you’re interested in decorating and write them down on a piece of paper. Bring it with you to the store and see which pieces fit into those areas. You’re bound to find relevant articles that way with some careful planning.
