But the good news you don’t have to exclude everything to fix it. Sometimes, all that is needed noticed what is suppressing space and makes some easy swaps. Let’s look at the common design errors that can agree with your house, and what you can do about them now.
- # 1. Hold in color schemes
It is easy to compilate familiar, especially when part of the colors on the wall. But deep browns, maroons, and flat tone of Beige? They have their chance. And now, they just fade into rooms that are shorter boxed-in and more recent.
And when you’re really ready for a change, try painting a wall of a greater shade. It’s a small project with a big charge.

- # 2. Laid the mix of old and new
Think of pairing the beautiful vintage glass you love in a clean, modern console table at the bottom. Or put a mutilation, simple light on top of an ancient, full of character. This mixture of styles brings the best of both pieces and makes rooms feel alive, not set.
Sure, you can try some combinations before it clicks, but that’s about fun. And if you get it? Your space doesn’t just look fashionable – feel it alive and full of stories waiting to say.
- # 3. Ignores light as a design element
The light done is more than helping you see. It sets the mood. However, this is one of the most memorable parts of a room. Just depends on that outhead of light? That’s an easy way to make a space feel flat and different from life.
And don’t forget – the light can do too. A funky lamp or an old chandelier can be a great way to add personality without much effort.

- # 4. Overcrowding with heavy, rotten furniture
Everyone loves a comfy sofa, but some pieces just take the whole room, don’t you? The big, chunky furniture makes spaces feel small, and it doesn’t do for the natural light trying to sneak at.
It’s time to think of light – literally. Find furniture with slimmer shapes and legs they lift to the ground. This is a simple way to make a room feeling more open without losing comfort. And if you have a piece of vintage you worship, in every way, keep it. Just don’t let everyone allows everything. The balance is key.
Sometimes the most motivated rooms are not wrapped in things – they are the people where you are depressing.
- 5. #cluted surfaces and excessive decorations
It starts a little, isn’t it? A cute shelf souvenir, a couple of photo frames in the table … and before you know it, every flat surface is full.
Try it – everything is clear. Then, just return the pieces that are happier. Things that remind you of good times or look beautiful right where they are. Organize them in groups of three or five – it’s as fools, but for some reason, odd numbers always look better.
And don’t be afraid of empty space. Sometimes the intensify, best acceptable rooms are to give your eyes to a place of rest.
Conclusion …
So, walk around your house now. What do you say? Maybe it’s time to turn the page and start writing a new story.
