When browsing decoration websites, magazines and articles, we find a lot of tips and topics that deal with the things you should follow or take into account before choosing the right decorations for you, but it is rare to find topics that show you things you should not overlook and things you should avoid before choosing the most suitable for you. In this issue, Amlak Real Estate Newspaper will open for you, dear reader, the file of \u201cWhat to avoid before you design and choose your home decorations and furniture?\u201d.
\nWe've selected twenty important \u201cno's\u201d that we think you should avoid before choosing the right decorations for your home and life:<\/p>\n
1- Don't let others choose for you
\nYour home is your personal kingdom, so don't let the advice and choices of friends and family be a source of pressure on you and force you to do what you don't like or prefer. We encourage you to listen to their opinions, but the decision is yours and yours alone.
\n2- Don't paint the walls of the house first
\nThis is because you don't know your choices of furniture, carpets, and antiques, so postpone painting the walls until you have chosen the style, fabrics, and furniture you want.
\n3- Don't decide the right color for your wall from catalogs
\nThe color of the paint may look good in the limited space in the katoolog or under the strong lights of the store, but when the entire wall is painted with it, it may be less beautiful. We recommend buying a small can of paint and trying it on a square area of about 30 cm by 30 cm of your wall.
\n4- Don't make a decision right away in the store, wait!
\nThe overwhelming amount of furniture, paint, and accessories can have a negative impact on your choice by making you settle for a quick finish or succumb to pressure from salespeople. Therefore, it is recommended that you take your time in making decisions regarding paint color, decor and furniture, think about your options, available stores, prices and materials, and then come back later to buy.
\n5- Don't choose the safest color instead of what you like
\nIf you love the color red, for example, do not give in to the white color because it is the safest color to choose and suits a lot of furniture, but rather adapt the color you like with what you have in your furniture and coordinate it to make room for what you like to be part of your home color.
\n6- Don't let the color you like be the main one
\nAdapt your favorite colors and pieces to be the focal point of the space by highlighting them. For example, if you like to paint your living room in shades of red because it's your favorite color, use beige tones as a base for the room while lining the wall facing the sofa with red patterned wallpaper to highlight the beauty of the red color and give your room more variety and contrast.
\n7- Don't ignore psychology in choosing colors
\nIn issue (37) of Amlak Real Estate Newspaper, we discussed the appropriate colors for each of the rooms of the house in light of psychology, which believes that each room of the house is created for a purpose and colors should be used to amplify its purpose. For example, psychology advises that the bedroom colors should be calm colors of blue and green shades in order to inspire tranquility and calm, unlike the living room, which is orange and yellow shades to create more activity and vitality in the place. So don't lose sight of this science in choosing the right colors in light of modern science.
\n8- Don't forget that every color has different shades
\nNot every shade of green has to be like a leaf, this color extends to shades of yellow, red, and blue, so expand your imagination and open your options to include colors you may not have thought of before.
\n9- Don't match colors
\nWe see in a number of homes that the owners match the colors of the furniture with the paints of the walls and accessories, which loses the beauty of the pieces, so when choosing to coordinate the pieces with paints, make sure to employ contrast and harmony to highlight the beauty of the paints while not covering up the beauty of the furniture pieces.
\n10- Don't lose sight of the focal point of the room
\nNot every room has a focal point, but if your room has one or you want to highlight an important element in the room, don't overlook it, and arrange your artwork and furniture around it.
\n11- Don't let your furniture touch the walls
\nDon't line up furniture such as chairs, sofas and tables against the wall, as this causes the room to lose its warmth and aesthetic appeal.
\n12- Don't put obstacles in your way
\nIn the paths leading to the other side of the room or in the corridors, do not place pieces of furniture and artifacts that may hinder your movement and make it difficult, leave room for easy movement and access in rooms and corridors.
\n13- Don't choose your furniture based on style or fabric
\nChoosing furniture pieces based on the design, pattern, and color of the fabric is very risky, as form does not mean quality. Make sure the pieces you're buying are well-made, the fabric is durable, and the stitching details are perfect. It's easy to change the fabric to match your favorite fabrics, but it's the cleanliness and quality of the workmanship that matters and what it costs.
\n14- Don't overstretch your budget
\nJust like in the world of fashion, d\u00e9cor has its own trends, and they don't last, so it's best not to overstretch your budget with short-lived fashion items. It is preferable to buy essential pieces that will last a long time and will not lose their luster over time, and you can follow the fashion with affordable accessories such as pillows, rugs, antiques and bedspreads.
\n15- Don't keep your furniture mismatched
\nIf you have some mismatched pieces that you've inherited or love, but they don't match and don't go together, don't leave them as they are. You can change the color of the frame or add some accessories like bedspreads and pillows that make your room look cohesive and coordinated.
\n16- Don't waste your money
\nIf there is an item that has no use or place in your home and won't last long, put your money in your pocket and don't buy it because it's a waste of money. Invest in what you need, what has more than one use and what is essential.
\n17- Don't keep too many pieces of furniture
\nMany of us are often forced to live with items that are gifted to us that are not to our taste. If you find yourself in this situation, don't force yourself to accept it if you don't like it and there is no room for it in your home and life. Don't force yourself to love what you don't like.
\n18- Don't clutter your home with antiques and collectibles
\nDon't let your home become overcrowded with antiques, as this distorts the beauty of the house and makes it look disorganized, in addition to that, overcrowding a room with collectibles loses its beauty and prestige. Therefore, it is better to stick to limited pieces to show their importance and beauty and store the rest for later use in redecorating.
\n19-Don't overlook details
\nDon't just paint the walls and distribute the furnishings, pay attention to the details to make your home decor stand out. Find a uniquely shaped side light, arrange your books in a unique way, add some quirky pillows and bedspreads, and add some candles and flowers to make your home stand out.
\n20 - Don't make decisions in isolation from those who live with you
\nIt is important to take the opinion of those who live with you, such as your parents, spouse, and children, because they will be sharing the space with you and it is important to make them feel comfortable. If you have different tastes, look for compromises such as dividing the rooms according to tastes or trying to merge your tastes together, but don't lose sight of consistency.
\nIn conclusion, remember that the process of furnishing your home and choosing paint and accessories is fun, but try to avoid what we mentioned to you in order to ensure the consistency and completeness of the beauty of your home with what you choose. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
