Designing a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing can be a daunting task. Even with the plethora of resources available online, design mistakes can and will happen, leading to a room that does not align with your vision. Hiring a professional interior designer (Crimson wants to help!) can help you avoid these pitfalls and create a space that truly reflects your personality.
Common Design Mistakes:
Mistake: Not considering the flow and functionality of a space can lead to cluttered and inefficient layouts.
Solution: Interior designers understand how to maximize space, ensuring that furniture placement and room layout promote a natural flow and usability. Our designers use AutoCAD to space plan furniture. This helps ensure the layout promotes a natural flow in the layout that will align with your design goals.
Mistake: Using furniture and decor that are too large or too small for the space can disrupt the harmony of the room.
Solution: Designers are trained to balance scale and proportion, selecting pieces that correctly suit the room’s dimensions. Designers use floor plans with exact measurements to ensure that your furniture, whether that be new furniture or preexisting pieces, will work perfectly in your space.
Mistake: Relying solely on overhead lighting or not layering light sources can make a space feel flat and unappealing.
Solution: Designers know how to layer lighting effectively, combining ambient and accent lighting to enhance the room’s ambiance. Designers understand the proportions of how large your light fixtures should be to complement your space, or how to best maximize your natural lighting available.
Mistake: Following trends too closely without considering your personal style can result in a space that feels impersonal.
Solution: A designer will work with you to understand your preferences and lifestyle, creating a space that feels authentic and personalized. Designers, particularly Crimson Design Group’s designers have an advanced understanding of timeless pieces that will last a lifetime. With over twenty years in the business and hundreds of happy clients, we know how to create an authentic and timeless look.
Mistake: Focusing solely on aesthetics without considering the practical needs of the space can lead to frustration and will not maximize the longevity of the space.
Solution: Designers balance form and function, ensuring that your space is not only beautiful but also practical and comfortable. Crimson Design Group designers understand that functionality is just as important as your space looking good. We have connections and relationships with reputable vendors who create beautiful, long lasting pieces that our clients love.
