Designing your home is exciting; it’s like bringing your dream to life. You collect ideas from Pinterest, visit showrooms, and imagine every corner just the way you want it.
But sometimes, in all the excitement, small mistakes can lead to big regrets. These mistakes can cost you time, money, and comfort in the long run.
At Luxelan, we’ve worked with many homeowners and have seen what works beautifully, and what doesn’t. So here is a curated guide—7 things to watch out for:
Sometimes, people focus too much on one room and forget how the whole house should feel. This can make the home look mismatched.
Avoid it by:
• Keeping a similar style, color theme, and material choice across rooms.
Example: If your living room is calm and minimal but your kitchen is bright and busy, it can feel like stepping into a completely different house.
A home should not just look good—it should also be easy to live in.
Avoid it by:
• Picking furniture and layouts that suit your daily routine.
• Designing spaces for your lifestyle, not just for photos.
Example: A beautiful sofa that’s too big for the room will make the space feel cramped and uncomfortable.
Lighting can change the way your home feels. Even the most expensive furniture can look dull in bad lighting.
Avoid it by:
• Using three layers of light: general lights, task lights (for work areas), and accent lights (for decor).
• Choosing warm lights for a cozy feel.
• Using natural light wherever possible.
Trends are fun, but they change quickly. A design that’s “in” today might feel outdated in a few years.
Avoid it by:
• Keeping main elements (floors, walls, big furniture) simple and classic.
• Adding trends through cushions, wall art, or decor items that are easy to change.
Designing a home involves a lot of planning. Without expert help, mistakes can happen.
Avoid it by:
• Working with an experienced designer or turnkey team who can bring your vision to life while avoiding costly mistakes.
• Choosing a team that can handle everything—design, materials, and execution.
Example: We’ve seen cases where furniture was bought first and later didn’t fit through the door!
Even expensive pieces can look out of place if they are too big or too small for the room.
Avoid it by:
• Measuring your space before buying furniture.
• Leaving enough open space to move around comfortably.
Example: A rug that’s too small for the seating area can make the whole room feel awkward.
It’s easy to spend too much on what’s visible and ignore important things like wiring, storage, or lighting.
Avoid it by:
• Making a clear budget before starting.
• Spending wisely on things that last.
• Keeping a small extra amount for unexpected costs.
A beautiful home is more than just fancy furniture; it’s a space where every detail works for you. Avoiding these mistakes will make your home look good, feel comfortable, and stay that way for years.
