Is the living room too crowded? Does the ambiance feel positive and welcoming? We have collected useful tips from interior designers that will help you avoid common mistakes.Mistake #1: Prioritizing Paint ColorBegin by selecting decor and accessories that reflect your personal style. Once you have a cohesive vision, choose a paint color that complements your chosen elements.<img src="/uploads/1_6e4acba38a.jpg" alt="1.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_1_6e4acba38a.jpg 245w,/uploads/small_1_6e4acba38a.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_1_6e4acba38a.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"> @Sara LeDuc/housedigest.comMistake #2: Overreliance on TrendsIncorporate timeless pieces as the foundation of your design.
