Sometimes it takes people trying to DIY their whole space for them to realize how difficult it can be.

Trust us, it’s worth it in the end.

✨ Here are 5 common home interior design mistakes and what we suggest doing instead!

👉🏻 There is a lot that goes into designing a home. It’s not just picking paint colours and pillows that look nice. It involves thinking of the space as a whole and what the function of that room will be.

👀 Being able to visualize the final outcome is a skill we designers have that may be more difficult for our clients. Luckily if you partner with us, you can put your trust in our expertise and know that we will deliver.

A luxurious aesthetic doesn’t always have to be expensive!

There are many ways to elevate your space without breaking the bank. Listed above are just a few of our recommendations.

Let’s keep the tips going in the comments! 👇🏻

Some of our go-to suggestions for hanging artwork!

When it comes to hanging art, it is important to consider factors like the lighting in the room, the size of the wall, and the aesthetic of the piece itself. hanging pieces at eye level is usually a good rule of thumb and our biggest piece of advice.

Another tip for our renters out there is to use picture hanging wire or command strips depending on the size of the piece, instead of nails to prevent damage to the walls.

Another helpful tip is to group smaller pieces together to create a cohesive look, or to use larger pieces as a focal point in a room.

By following these tips, we are confident that you will get the best results for your gallery walls at home!

Be true to your own style and taste! We believe that anything you love will always be timeless. Don’t let trends sway your preferences, especially when designing your home.

Keep this in mind for your next room redesign or when choosing new decor items. If you need help in defining your individual style, feel free to reach out to us!
