Mistakes to avoid while renovating your space!
Renovating a space can be overwhelming and can lead to mistakes that hurts in the long run and can causes monetary loss too! Here are some of the things to keep in mind while redoing your house, office or any space for that matter!
1. Not creating a plan
Before you begin any interior design project, it's important to create a plan that includes a layout of the space, a color scheme, and a budget. Without a plan, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of the project and make impulse decisions that you later regret. For example, the look and feel of the space is decided in the initial stages of planning, if there is a disconnect between look and feel of the planned space and the budget, it is definitely going to hit hard financially later.

2. Ignoring the scale of the space
Another common mistake in interior design is ignoring the scale of the space. Large pieces of furniture can make a small room feel cramped, while small pieces of furniture can make a large feel empty. Be sure to choose furniture that is proportionate to the size of the room.

3. Overcrowding the space
A closely related mistake is overcrowding the space with too many pieces of furniture or too many accessories. Cluttering the space will make it feel smaller, and it can also be overwhelming to the eye. Instead, opt for a minimalist approach and choose a few statement pieces that can serve as focal points in the room.

4. Not considering the function of the space
When designing a room, it's important to consider the function of the space. If you're designing a living room, for example, you'll want to make sure that there is plenty of seating for guests and that the furniture is arranged in a way that promotes conversation. Similarly, if you're designing a home office, you'll want to make sure that the space is set up for productivity and that there is ample storage for office supplies.

5. Ignoring the flow of the space
Another mistake that people often make is ignoring the flow of the space. The layout of the room should be intuitive and easy to navigate. For example, you should avoid placing furniture that blocks pathways or makes it difficult to move around the room.

6. Not incorporating personal style
It's important to design the space to reflect your personal style. While it's great to get inspiration from others and design magazines, you should strive to make the space unique and reflective of your personal taste.

7.Not considering lighting
Lighting is an often-overlooked aspect of interior design. But it can greatly affect how a room looks and feels. You should consider how natural light enters the room and where you need task lighting, such as reading lights or under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen.

8. Not testing paint colors
Painting a room is a relatively inexpensive way to change the look of a space, but it's easy to make a mistake. Make sure to try samples of paint colors on the walls before committing to a color, as the lighting and surroundings can affect how the color looks.
