The designers have listed the main mistakes that spoil the look of any home. The result is a list of things that can be found in every second apartment. Check if they are in yours.
1. Wrong carpet
Two important points are connected with the carpet at once. Firstly, if we are talking about the living room and other common spaces, then in them it serves as a base and should contain all the furniture in the room. A small carpet that cannot be squeezed into a sofa and a couple of armchairs looks ridiculous.
Another mistake concerns the bedroom. Remember: the rug should be placed perpendicular to the bed, not along it.
He should appear as if from under the bed and create a T-shaped composition with it. If the carpet just lies next to it, the interior looks awkward.
2. Trash in plain sight
“When you create an open storage system, for example in the form of shelves or racks, think about what will be there. After all, this will be the decoration of your room,”says Murray of the second popular mistake.
Its essence boils down to the following: there is a big difference between an eclectic combination of things and a chaotic disorder. And on open surfaces, you should have the former, not the latter. Therefore, make sure that the accessories are correctly positioned and create a coherent, harmonious picture.
3. Too similar furniture
The time for headsets is over. Now, if the furniture is ideally matched to each other, this rather indicates not the great taste of the owner, but his lack of imagination. So leave identical items for catalogs, and in your home choose furniture that does not look like identical twins.

The best rooms are the ones that look like they've been refurbished over time.
4. Little lighting
Another design technique that has become a thing of the past is a single chandelier per room. The chandelier itself, of course, can be, but it is necessary to add additional lighting to it. It both improves visibility and gives dynamics to the space.
Designer Holly Hickey Moore recommends using floor lamps and table lamps in addition to overhead lighting.
5. Lack of decor
Objects of art and decor, like accessories in clothes, complete the image. In this case, the image of the room.

They are just as important as the rest of the interior: furniture, carpets, TV, and whatever else you want in your home.
If you don't dream of living in a boring and faceless space, dilute it with bright details: paintings, posters, vases or candles. With them, the apartment will immediately acquire individuality and become more comfortable.
