Decorate your apartment: Oops! These are the 5 most common decoration mistakes

It is well known that tastes are different. But regardless of whether you have a large or a small apartment, you should avoid these mistakes when decorating. You'll be surprised how much that makes a difference.

1. It's the amount that counts!

When it comes to decoration: find the right size. So that your apartment does not look cool but cozy, it is important that you do not decorate too little. A few plants, pillows or a rug can make a big difference. But be careful: too much decoration can quickly make your apartment look like a junk shop.

2. Never shop without a plan!

Of course, everything doesn't always have to come from one manufacturer, because this way the apartment quickly appears unimaginative, impersonal and like in a furniture store. But if you shop across the board, it gets expensive because you have to redecorate again and again so that everything fits. You can also achieve your individual look if you plan in advance what is still missing. And what not.

3. Don't forget any rooms!

So that the overall picture is consistent, not only the living room should be decorated, but all other rooms as well. The hallway should also receive a little attention.

4. Say goodbye to the chaos!

If you bother with the decoration, you will not benefit from a mess of cables lying around or the shelves being untidy. We are in our own four walls and not in the office, so we can hide any cables in pretty decorative baskets. They not only look good, they also bring order to the apartment.

5. The color is crucial!

In general, dark colors absorb light. Not only do your rooms look darker if you choose dark wall colors, they also make them look smaller. In contrast, light tones enlarge a room. In addition, furniture and accessories should not be tone-on-tone, otherwise they will quickly become uniform.

You don't want to completely renovate your apartment, but just add a few new highlights? We have little setup tricks for you. How about painting tiles or making decorations yourself?
