What mistakes we should avoid while designing a home?

“A design isn’t finished until someone is using it.”

A well-written & meaningful quote that says it all. The utility is more important than beauty.

People tend to forget that designing a home is not only about how glamorous it should look. It is more about how usable it is to the occupants of the house.

Let’s list down some of the common mistakes commoners tend to make while designing a home:

1. Over the top:

A lot of people tend to make their homes over-gaudy with too many elements. The house looks more like a museum than a house.

2. Low utility index:

Attractiveness is important but not at cost of utility. Many occupants believe only in looks and not usability. Both are very important.

3. Excess lights:

A house needs to have sober light effects which suit one’s mood & create a positive vibe. One should not forget that there is a vast difference between a showroom & a house.

4. Imitation:

Imitation is the most common problem in today’s world. It’s not necessary that if it’s suiting in someone’s home it will blend in yours too. 

5. Excess furniture:

Many times there is too much clutter in the houses. It feels like every piece of art & furniture available in the market is visible in the apartment. 

6. North pole-south pole:

Most of the time the décor of the house does not match the paint of the furniture. There is no theme or symmetry followed. 

7. Wrong material:

Usage of the wrong materials can be hazardous and life-threatening too. 

For example:

• Using glossy tiles on a terrace can cause accidents. 
• Using non-toughened glass can be dangerous.
• Wooden flooring in a wet area 
• Nonwaterproof plywood in the kitchen

8. Not hiring experts:

The biggest mistake that every homeowner does is he tries to cure his own problem. He should hire the services of an expert interior designer. It not only saves your cost but also adds value to the house and makes it usable and look elegant. 

It’s the high time homeowners leave the notion that interior designers are expensive. They not only save your cost but also help you build your dream home with low maintenance in days to come.
