5 Common Interior Design Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Designing a home you love can feel overwhelming when you are not sure where to begin. Many homeowners struggle with choices that seem small but can have a dramatic impact on the look and feel of the space. At Norwalk Furniture & Design, we guide clients through thoughtful interior design decisions that help their homes reflect a unique, expressive style and their daily living.
The first and most common mistake is choosing furniture that is the wrong scale. Oversized pieces can crowd the room, while furniture that is too small leaves the space feeling unfinished and empty. The second mistake is relying on one source of light. A layered lighting plan with warm fixtures creates depth, comfort, and flexibility.
Another mistake is overlooking window treatments. Custom drapery frames your space, softens natural light, and adds a designer finish. Poor fabric choices can also limit your room's potential. Quality upholstery and designer fabrics combine durability and visual impact, elevating your style. At Norwalk, we offer hundreds of options for custom-made upholstery and drapery to add a special touch to your home.
Many homeowners also fall into the trap of mixing too many competing styles. A cohesive palette and a thoughtful blend of materials create harmony throughout the room.
