12 simple Dos and Don’ts for interior design beginners

2. Choose your Paint Colours Wisely

The paint colours you choose can make or break the vibe of your room. Although reading colour undertones and understanding palettes and combinations can take years of experience, basic colour combinations and matching techniques can help you choose better paints for the interior design of your home. Concepts like contrast and blends should not be lost on you while doing home interior design. Poorly matched colour shades can result in a loss of appeal and hence subsequently lead to adverse effects on the aesthetic value of the room.

3. Invest in Good Pillows

Pillows in the bedroom and the living room should be functional, supportive, plush, and soft. Latest interior design trends show that decorative pillows can add an ‘oomph’ factor to any room they are placed in. This helps you realize the extent of, and hence break, its ‘blockiness’.

5. Use Accent Pieces

The accent pieces in and around your house would make things appear interesting, but make sure you don’t overdo it. It also shouldn’t be an overwhelming load of things.

For example, say you are a person who likes cars. Displaying a few collectible editions or quarter-size models of a few cars here and there in your house, like on a bookshelf or on an office desk, is a much better idea than having a car-themed room for yourself.

The DON’Ts
 

1. Don’t Match Everything

If everything is of the same colour or similar texture, it would lend the same look and feel monotonous. Instead of matching everything from furniture to paint colour, try creating a relation to make it homely, warm, and inviting. The room should feel connected instead of similar. Things that add a personality, a splash of colour, and some appeal to the space are much better than having an all-white stateroom.

2. Don’t Use Tiny Potted Plants in the Middle of the House

If you are a plant lover, make use of a separate space or a nursery to pursue the hobby. If at all, you want to place some house plants in the hall or the bedroom area, small potted plants are not the best option. It makes the place seem cluttered and clunky. Instead, opt for a fern or a large plant in a pot. Small flowers were all the rage in the 70s, but modern interior design demands a statement.

5. Don’t Skimp on Seating Space

Allowing for a flowy conversation requires ample seating space and seating options. For the living room areas, ensure there’s plenty of furniture like chairs or sofas that will make space for a conversation to keep going. If space is going to be a trouble, make sure you stack up on utilitarian origami-style furniture which may take less space but still serve as more seats.
