5 Home Mistakes and How to Avoid them

Mistakes are hard to notice especially when you're seeing a lot of good stuff for your home. But do you sometimes feel that there is a needed re-designing done for your space? Or that the look you created are just chaotic and overwhelming? Know what needs to go or to lessen with Elle Decor's tips and avoid making some home mistakes we keep on doing.

1. Don't Overdo Those Lovely Pillows

Who doesn't adore pillows? Colorful, sequined-type, furry, and crocheted... there are just a lot of variety and shapes to choose from. But a tip from Elle Decor suggests that you just have to limit the throw pillows in your sofa to just two to accommodate more seating space and to avoid it from falling down. So, pick out the best looking pillow for your sofa and remember, just two!

2. A Special Place In Your Closet for Those Shoes

Shoes are one of the things we personally own that we can't simply organize well. Especially for women who undeniably has a lot of different pairs of heels, flats, and pumps. Elle Decor suggests to make a "hanging rack" or "shelf" in our closets for these. This tip will not only organize your shoes well but will also save you time in finding them next time.

3. Change the Uncomfy Seat to A More Relaxing One

What can a good chair do if it doesn't make you rest or relax? And worst, if it makes you have bad back? Elle Decor advises to ditch those uncomfy seats to a more comfortable ones even if you are direly in love with the look.   

4. Collection of Various Dinnerware

While there's nothing really bad in collecting various dinner wares or even tea sets, but your collection may now scream disaster. Organization of these wares are important to make it look more appealing. Try to choose the most important ones in display and keep those that are used less.  

5. "Loud," Neon Colors On Your Walls

Neon colors or even bold colors like red, tangerine, or neon green may be the best colors to choose if you want to make a statement on your walls but not very often. These striking colors may even cause some strain in your eyes and "stress." Elle Decor points out to go for more "calming" and soothing colors like blue and white for your walls.
