2. Design Mistake: Overdoing Design Trends
Looking at every blog and magazine out there about interior design may feel like a step in the right direction. However, you’re only going to have too much information and not know how to implement any of it effectively. Interior designers may have many opinions, but if you throw everything that everyone says into a pot of soup and hope you’ll get a lovely design for your home at the end, then you’re sorely mistaken. Different designers specialize in different looks, so it’s essential to look at those who pique your aesthetic.
Don’t follow fads because they’re going to go out of style eventually, and then you’re stuck with a look for your home that is dated. Instead, you should focus on making your space feel personal to you instead. When you go home after a long day of work, how do you want it to make you feel? Whatever that is, that’s the ideal that you should be designing around. Go with what you love instead of overdoing it on the design trends just to fit in with whoever is on TV.
