INTERIOR DESIGN MISTAKES TO LEARN FROM
We all want to decorate our homes as per our design ideas. But it is not as easy a job as it seems. Interior designing has multiple aspects to it. Designers have to understand how colour, lighting, room size, scale, and placement can affect a room’s style. They need to decide what colours and items to include in a room, which can make or break the home’s interiors. Interior designing takes a very keen and knowledgeable eye. It requires time and careful deliberation to add a personal touch to any space.
How many times has it happened that we see a lovely showpiece or a marvellous painting and we immediately think it will add wonders to our home decor! We end up buying the said item; but when added to your living room shelf or bedroom wall, it does not look as good as you thought it to be. This is just one of the few common mistakes most of us do when decorating our homes.Interior designing is a tricky thing to do, especially if you’re doing it without any professional help. Here are a few things you should avoid when decorating your home.

Ignoring the fabrics and textiles
Whenever it comes to decorating or renovating a room, the first thing we do is to paint or wallpaper the walls. This is something we are all guilty of! Paints and wallpaper designs for walls might be the easiest way to change the look of a room, but it should not be the first step of interior designing. The first thing to be done is to pick out the fabrics and main textiles of the room such as rugs and curtains. Why choose the fabrics first? Well, it is much easier to find a paint colour or wallpaper design that matches the fabric we have chosen for the room; rather than finding fabrics that go well with our walls. This approach allows homeowners to find curtains, rugs, bed linen and pillowcases which they like. Once you have decided on the fabrics to be used in a room, pick a shade for your wallpaper from among the chosen textiles. This way, your walls, and your furnishing will always match.

Incorporate Your Personality
A house does not become a home unless it reflects your personality. The walls of your room should mirror your likes, interests, and even your eccentricities. It is what makes a barren space feel like a personal dwelling. Pick out wallpaper designs for walls that show your colourful personality. For those who like the outdoors, choose wallpapers with tropical prints. If someone is of the artistic bent of mind, choose dramatic murals or stunning damasks. Don’t be shy when it comes to your home decor. Add little elements to your interior scheme which clearly express your individual stamp in the room.

Missing a Focal Point
Every room in your home should have a focal point, something to look at for others and to give a sense of function to the space. Sometimes, this is easy to do. Like in a living room, the focal point is most commonly the wall where the TV is hanged. Hence, pick a wallpaper that is easy on the eyes so it doesn’t disturb your viewing experience. On the other hand, for a dining room, geometric wallpaper designs for walls could be a great fit against the wall where the dining table is placed. If you don’t want to use entire walls as a focal point, you can capture attention with statement-making rugs, a decorative lighting accessory, or large paintings. Having a focal point in the room adds character to the space.
Wallpapers are a great tool for interior designing, with new ideas to inspire any tasteful person. Their rich colours and varied textures bring in-depth to the walls. Excel’s wide range of wallpaper collections is here to elevate your home decor, ensuring that no choice you make ever seems like a mistake!
