"Common home design mistakes can turn a space with great potential into one that feels off without knowing exactly why. From overly harsh lighting to furniture that doesn't quite fit, small choices can have a surprisingly big impact. Whether you're getting ready to sell your home in Conroe, TX or want to spruce up your forever home in Aloha, OR , fixing a few design missteps can instantly make your home feel more polished and inviting."
"The key is choosing a rug that properly anchors your furniture. In living rooms, aim for at least the front legs of sofas and chairs to sit on the rug. In dining rooms, pick a rug that's large enough so chairs remain on it when pulled out. And in bedrooms, make sure the rug extends beyond both sides of the bed to create a grounded, cohesive look."
Small design choices often create spaces that feel off despite good bones. Common mistakes include rugs that are too small, ignoring lighting, choosing paint that clashes with lighting, insufficient storage, furniture that's the wrong scale, and designing for looks rather than lifestyle. Proper rug sizing anchors furniture and grounds rooms; in living rooms the front legs should sit on the rug, dining rugs should accommodate pulled chairs, and bedroom rugs should extend beyond the bed. Layered lighting improves mood and function. Choosing paint to suit lighting, integrating storage solutions, and matching furniture scale to use enhances cohesion and livability.
