Home decor: what to avoid

arnasati December 5th, 2009

“Decoration rules made to be broken.” This is because the decoration was never a single correct pattern, but all based on creativity, originality and innovation.

But by following some rules, at least the result will be better and not haphazard. Here are some things that should be avoided:

• Do not do the painting first before determining the material / floor and wall materials.
Cat has thousands of colors and different types that can be matched with the material / material. Make a painting after the floors and walls have been covered well.

• Do not pegged with the mindset of furniture should be arranged against the wall. This applies only to a very small room. Arrange furniture to the grouping in the middle of the room will cause a warm impression.

• Do not classify too many collection items, this will give the impression apart.

• Do not say yes to the decorations that do not fit your character. Although some point you’re rewarded with a gold carpet and not in accordance with the concept of home decoration, better keep it in a warehouse. If you keep forcing the carpet laid, believe me you will definitely get confused when planning your decorations.

• Do not forget the details. Do not confuse your house with a classic theme of a metal ladder. If you are a minimalist theme, try searching for furniture that was simple and not much style. If you like classic decor, search lights with gold and copper colors.

• In choosing colors, do not take decisions in the shop / showroom. Let me take an example (eg paint, materials, parquet) and match in the house during the day and night.

• Do not paint the background with your favorite colors. By providing a softer color in the background, your favorite color will be more striking as an accent.

• Do not forget the effect of color generated atmosphere. Red symbolizes passion / spirit, Green symbolizes the shade, the yellow symbolizes the bright / fun. Choose the color according to the mood you want to create in the room.
