Summary
Interior designers warn that several easy decor missteps can undermine a home’s style and cohesion. Experts note that wallpaper with overly small patterns can overwhelm large spaces, while ignoring scale and proportion can weaken a room’s impact. Choosing pieces that are overly trendy rather than timeless often backfires, and failing to balance function with aesthetics leads to impractical layouts. Designers also advise against underestimating lighting needs and neglecting custom solutions when appropriate. Thoughtful placement, quality materials, and intentional styling help elevate interiors and avoid common decorating pitfalls.
