Avoid these Mistakes when Decorating in 2019

If you are looking for a change in the New Year but do not want to go through an extensive home remodeling project, simply adding a new paint color or purchasing some décor items can spice up your living space this 2019. Before you complete anything, Handyman Connection of Red Deer suggests reading these tips to make sure you don’t unintentionally sabotage your design.

Cramming in Furniture – Although you may have a big space and many pieces of furniture you love, when you put it all into the same area, your room will just feel smaller and more cramped. If you can, try to repurpose some of those pieces and move them to a new area or you can sell some of your least favorites for extra cash. If those pieces hold a special place for you and you can’t seem to get rid of them, try to pass them down to a family member.

Excess Knick-Knacks – When purchasing décor pieces for your shelves, limit yourself to only a few of your favorite items. It is easy to get carried away in your favorite store but once on display, they can make your space feel disorganized and cluttered. When looking for your favorite pieces, try to get a few that are different sizes and heights to create a balanced and stylish look.

Too many Patterns – While using different patterns can create a fun trendy look, using too many of them can create a hectic and busy looking space. Before picking out too many contrasting styles, try to get your favorite pattern in a rug or curtain to anchor the room and then add throw pillows in another pattern but then keen any other purchases like wallpaper or vases in a solid color to bring the theme together.
