It can be difficult to decorate the interior of an apartment without the help of a professional. There is a possibility of making mistakes that will inevitably lead to additional costs and time costs. Designer Alena Bolshakova told how to avoid it.
6. As from the picture
Before starting self-planning, many turn to the Internet and look for beautiful pictures of interiors. In itself, this is not bad - this is how we form observation. However, with insufficient skill, there is a risk of stumbling upon a gaudy interior and repeating mistakes in your apartment.
5. Listen to workers' advice
Adopting workers' advice is usually a bad idea. Most of them do not have sufficient experience in design and make recommendations based on their own taste or the taste of most customers. Blindly following such advice can lead to problems with ergonomics, composition, combination of colors and textures.
4. Mass market furniture
Another mistake is buying furniture and materials from malls and hypermarkets. Usually, there is an assortment that is aimed at the mass consumer. As a rule, he is devoid of individuality.
3. Refusal from the designer
Hiring a designer can save you more than not hiring one. Without sufficient experience and knowledge, you run the risk of running into alterations, which will cost more in the future. And besides money, nerves are also spent. With a professional, you will be able to competently distribute the available space and budget, as well as consider not one, but several options for planning and design.
2. Inconsistencies in colors and sizes
It is difficult for a layman to visualize the things that he sees in the store at home. This is especially true for color. Often, with sufficient lighting, the shade looks one way, but in the apartment it looks completely different.
It is also not always easy to estimate the size of an object. For example, if a chair looks compact in a large space of a store, then in a small studio it can take up the whole place.
1. Solid interior
Monochrome solutions can look very stylish if they have the right accents or a variety of textures. This is often overlooked in self-planning. If you're afraid of experimenting with decoration, take a chance with textiles.
