10 of the Most Common Interior Design Mistakes (Second Part)


Continuing with the 10 Common Interior Design Mistakes, White Hat Architecture suggests that when hiring a professional in the field questions should be asked, it is normal to be unclear about a sketch or floor plan, but everything takes time, do not feel pressured and resolve your doubts before making a decision. This is the second part of the 10 Common Interior Design Mistakes post:

  •               Not having a focal point.- If attention is desired on a specific item or area, a focal point can be useful. It is important to determine what will be shown to other people, it could be an artistic picture, a fireplace or a panoramic view. White Hat Architecture suggests to have more than one focal point but to maintain a  balance.

  •        Not allowing enough time for the design process.-Everything requieres time and planning, White Hat Architecture suggests not attempt to improvise and skip processes because this can be more costly and time consuming.
  •       Getting furniture without first checking room dimensions.- It is relevant to know the dimensions of the space where the furniture will be located to avoid that the room looks out of scale. 
  •                   Colour co-ordination- The best way to keep the balance in a room is by using patterns, which provide a theme for the project. It is better to choose three colours in a room; a dominant colour used for the walls, a second colour used for furniture and accessories, and a third colour  to enhance a particular object.

  •                      Failure to connect indoors with outdoors.- Having a design plan can help achieve a connection between an indoors and outdoors project; for small homes, the patio is the best place to enjoy the summer days, and by providing an outdoor view it will mesh perfectly with the interior space.
