Mistakes to avoid

Furnishing your home in the best possible way!

Furnishing a house is not always easy, especially when fashions change rapidly. If you decide not to rely on professionals, there are some mistakes to avoid. In fact, there are mistakes that we all make. When we decide to furnish our homes. That’s why, if you love DIY but don’t want to damage your home, both visually and in terms of furnishings, you’ve come to the right place! We at Realigro want to give you all the information you need. That will make it possible to live in your home without having to call on the help of professionals. So, if you’re ready, we’re going to give you the golden rules for furnishing your home in the best possible way and for avoiding mistakes!

The mistakes to avoid: not having a clear plan

One of the main mistakes when deciding to furnish your home is not having a clear plan. Usually, in fact, this idea leads to adding furnishing elements in various spaces, without them being congruent with each other. This does not create a harmonious result. You risk mixing colours, textures, shapes, comma lines and even styles! This is why you should only start buying new furniture or furnishing accessories once you have understood what the project is!

The right proportions

Another mistake that is often made is not taking proportions into account. It is not enough to take into consideration only the measurements of a room. It is necessary to calculate the proportions of all the existing furniture and the new furniture that will make up the room itself. In fact, it is important not to create a disproportion in some areas of the house or even of the room. Or to leave some spaces totally empty because they have no furniture at all. If you often make this mistake, we recommend using accessories such as carpets or curtains to reproportion the room.

Anti-aesthetic elements

Careful furnishing also means paying attention to small details. In fact, we often don’t realise that it is those small details that can make all the difference. Both negative and positive! For example, the cables of the visors on view can be annoying. It would be a good idea to make use of these disturbing elements, converting them into aesthetic elements. For example, by covering them with decorative accessories, shelves or even pictures.

Mistakes to avoid

Insufficient lighting

Lighting is of fundamental importance when deciding to furnish your home. There are different types of light and lamps, but one thing is certain. But one thing is certain: for any home to be welcoming it must have the right amount of light! A house with cold or insufficient light will certainly not be welcoming for guests but also for those who decide to live in it. In rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, for example, it is necessary to use lights that can be extremely useful for whatever task you are going to perform.

So, are you ready to stop making the usual mistakes when furnishing your home?
