Interior Design Blunders Not To Be Welcomed: Some Common Living Room Mistakes To Avoid

While doing renovations or even designing a newly-bought home, homeowners are often whimsical, more emotional than practical. But some mistakes, though common, are sometimes heavy on the overall aesthetics and order of the residence, especially when dealing with the living room.

So here are some common living room design blunders homeowners are advised to evade

Keeping Only Upper Lighting In The Living Room

Lighting creates atmosphere, it helps create the overall feel and aesthetics of the interiors. So when the lighting is not right, all the work put into the interiors of your living room face the risk of going into the drain. Keeping only upper lighting, even worse, only one source of lighting in the middle of the ceiling is a common mistake homeowners often make, but this should be avoided.

Various interior design companies in Dubai offer living models that are perfect for their clients, creating personalized lighting systems. Reading lights, lamps, floor lights, name it.

Absence or Wrong Size Of Carpet/Rug

Small rugs or carpets bring imbalance in the living room- things appear out of place. So, it is better to have a large rug or carpet for the living room, not only it gives a sense of beauty and balance to the living room, but also makes the space seem larger.

Misplaced TV

The best place for TV is a blank wall, placing a TV beside a window is not only harmful for the eyes, but also prevents the viewer(s) from clearly viewing the TV screen. The distance between the TV and the sofa depends on the screen-size. 

Undermining The Cushions

Despite being seemingly just ‘decorative additions’, cushions play an important role in enhancing the interiors of a living room, especially mix and matched cushions. Interior designers in Dubai focus on the form and shades for cushions and cushion covers as much as the sofas and couches in the living room for attaining the best possible results.

Sofa By The Wall

If the sofa in a large living room stands by the wall, it is a good position. But when it comes to average-sized or small living rooms, it is preferred by designers that the sofa is placed towards the Centre of the living room, away from the wall, this makes the living room appear more spacious and also gives away for portable or foldable furniture.
