In a newly renovated home, some homeowners initially felt excited, only to later face a series of issues with the design and decoration. The furniture didn’t match the overall style, the lighting was mismatched, and decorations were overdone—leading to discomfort and frustration. To address these common problems, we spoke with interior designers and experts who shared practical tips on how to avoid such mistakes.
**Case 1: Mismatched Furniture and Decor**
Miss Wang chose a beautiful piece of furniture for her new home, but upon delivery, she realized it didn’t fit the existing decor or space. The wardrobe in the bedroom was too cold for the warm atmosphere she wanted, and in the study, the desk didn’t align with the electrical setup, making it impossible to use the lamp properly.
According to Designer Xing Honglei, Miss Wang’s main issue was “buying furniture after renovation.†He explained that this is a common mistake, as furniture should be considered during the planning stage. A better approach is to determine the layout and style based on the furniture itself, which helps avoid future regrets.
**Case 2: Overly Bright or Colorful Lighting**
Mr. Ma often experienced eye fatigue when reading at night. After consulting with an expert, he learned that his lighting was too “flashy.†He was confused—how could lighting affect his eyes so much?
Mr. He from a lighting company explained that different colored lights emit different wavelengths. Low-quality blue-violet light can be harmful to the eyes, causing fatigue and even inflammation. For areas like the study, it's best to choose lamps with stable brightness and soft lighting. Traditional bulbs may be too red, while fluorescent lights can flicker, both of which are uncomfortable for the eyes. An eye-friendly LED lamp is a safer choice.
**Case 3: Over-Decorated Walls**
To make their homes more stylish, many homeowners tend to decorate every corner, including the walls. Mr. Zhao, for example, filled his walls with numerous pendants, but found the result overwhelming and unattractive.
Designer Jiang Chuan pointed out that walls are a key part of home design, and over-decorating them can lead to visual clutter. It’s important to balance the look and not go overboard. Designer Yin Yong added that wall decor should complement the floor style, ensuring a cohesive and elegant appearance.
By planning carefully and considering all elements before finalizing the design, homeowners can avoid common pitfalls and create a more comfortable and visually pleasing living space.
