Avoid fake floors

One way to decrease your home’s integrity is to add laminate flooring. Although it may seem like a good solution for parts of the house that get particularly messy floors, it will look tacky. Also, laminate is often made using oil byproducts—who wants something that increases their carbon footprint? No way! However, if you really want the wooden floor look without the hefty price tag and maintenance, check out these flooring experts.

 

Don’t overdo your theme

This can become quite apparent when redesigning a child’s room. No matter how much your little one loves Marvel comics, they will grow out of them eventually. It’s important to inject a room with your own style and personality, but going overboard with painted walls and themed furniture could be a gradual mistake over time.

 

Choose your paint colour last

If you’re entirely recreating a space, don’t base it on the colour you choose for the walls. Select the furniture you’d like to put in the area first, and then figure out the swatch to go with it. This is a common error that many people make. Deciding on a colour first will hinder your furniture and decorative freedom—so do it the other way round!

 

Furniture doesn’t have to be along the wall

Is your sofa pushed against the wall so you can make the most out of your living space? If so, it’s time to change things up. By pushing your sofas and chairs into the middle of the room, you’ll create a more intimate setting that will induce better conversation and a closer connection! Of course you don’t have to push everything into the centre of the room, but creating a smaller scene will immediately spice up your living room!
