7 Mistakes in Interior Decoration That You Shouldn't Avoid

What color to paint the walls, what furniture to buy, and what tiles to choose – how often, having decided to update the interior of your apartment, we only listen to the advice of designers and decorators, but never to our own intuition. In reality, breaking the rules is not so scary, and intuition often does not betray us.

Today we will prove that in the pursuit of your dream home, everyone must not be afraid to experiment, because so-called mistakes in interior decoration can become real design discoveries.

1. Exposed Floors

It is considered that there must be a carpet on the floor: because it gives the interior a feeling of comfort and warmth. But look at the photo below – isn't it stylish to see a bare floor in this interior? There is no need to hide the beautiful parquet laid in the classic herringbone pattern or the texture of wooden planks under carpets. Abandon the carpet and enjoy minimalism.

2. Harmonious Colors

If you believe the common opinion, colors like red and pink should be kept far apart from each other and never mixed. However, in reality, harmonious colors can look great together. If you don't like boring white interiors, boldly add vibrant accents in orange, green, or blue color to your interior: after all, a bright personality deserves a bright interior!

3. Everything on Display

Why spend money hiding ventilation pipes? Believe it: they can fit organically into your living space. Leave the pipes alone, and they will become a classic element of the loft-style interior.

4. Nothing Extra

You constantly read interior magazines and don't miss any TV program about renovation and you know exactly: a sofa will look lonely and cold if there are no pillows, throws, or blankets on it? Get rid of these misconceptions! These photos show how fresh and refined an interior can look when there is nothing extra.

5. Paintings Against the Wall

Paintings should hang on nails. But why not just lean canvases against the wall? Although someone might say you're just lazy to pick up a hammer, we like this solution. It adds charm to the interior and makes it free-spirited and refined.

6. Thematic Decoration

Thematic room decoration can look tasteless. But if you don’t overcrowd the space and decorate it only with a few ethnic items, it can result in an interesting design solution. Just remember about moderation.

7. Bare Windows

Windows without curtains, blinds, or drapes may look uncomfortable. But at the same time, open windows look great in lofts and modern urban apartments.
