Experts reveal the biggest mistakes people make when decorating their homes, from small rugs to all-matching furniture
Are you guilty of these design faux pas?
FROM accessories to rugs, choosing furniture and deciding on layouts - there's a lot to think about when you're furnishing a home.
Luckily, a team of interior designs have revealed the most common mistakes people make when decorating their house - are you guilty of these?
Choosing furniture that matches too well
Interior designer told that matching your furniture too much can make it look like a catalogue.
"I wouldn't buy matching a bed frame with matching end tables because it'll just make your room look like a catalogue," he explained.
"The best rooms are ones that look like they've been collected over time."
Relying on a ceiling light
Clutter on show
"When you take away the element of colour, you must focus on getting the necessary contrast and interest in other ways for the room to feel right," she told My Domaine.
If you're opting for a dark dining table, Hodges recommends choosing a lighter rug to achieve contact and opting for chairs that are "at least three shades lighter or darker".
Curtains that are too short
"It throws off the scale of the whole space."
Hodges added: "When it comes to the length of your drapes, anything that's more than an inch off the ground (literally) falls short.
"If you're purchasing ready-made, make sure that they touch the floor, even if you have to buy the next size up and have them hemmed."
