And the best thing is; you have all the information you need at your fingertips now. ‘Internet’ has encased all the information of the world for you. But make no mistake, decorating a home is still a big deal and you must choose the right elements for your house or room, otherwise it won’t be able to reflect your personality. And we believe, you wouldn’t want that, would you? Of course there are many famous home decorators like Interior Design California, who will be glad to help you out. But whether you decide to take the help of a professional or do it by yourself, you must heed a few instructions which home decoration experts follow. There are a few things you most certainly never do while planning your home decoration, let’s talk about them shall we? Never Use Furniture That Doesn’t Fit- Sometimes people think, expensive furniture brings out the luxurious look of a house. But that’s not it, home decoration is not about the worth of the furniture, it’s about matching the furniture with your house or room. You must measure the space of your room before you go out to buy something for it. Resist yourself to buy a big comfy sofa or a cute little chair if it does not match your room’s measurement. Furniture too big or too small will look irrelevant, if it does not match your room’s measurement. Never pick Too Many Patterns and Prints- Sure you like colors and there is nothing wrong with that but using too many colors is not cool anymore. So, try to stick with your favorite pattern or color scheme and it’ll do the rest for you. Never leave a Rug in the Middle of the Room- We know how much you like your expensive Persian rug that floats in your room, and there is no way you’ll let it go right? So, why not tuck it under the front legs of chairs, sofas, and tables? This will make sure that no one gets injured by slipping on your precious rug. No need to use old Family Heirlooms- Everyone has got their traditional furniture that has been handed down to them as a symbol of heritage. But that doesn’t mean that, you must use it to decorate your home. May it be a few furniture, show pieces or a grand chandelier! Just select one piece that you deem special and use it as an accent in your home/room. So, keep these few things in mind and at the end of your decoration, you’ll surely be praised for having such a wonderful taste in decorating. Good luck!
