The 7 most common furnishing mistakes in the living room

You have refurbished your apartment, but are absolutely not satisfied with the end result? It could be due to this mistake.

Wrong wall color

Before painting the whole room in color, a small patch of paint should first be applied to the wall. If the paint is dry, it usually looks very different. If you don't like the color, you can quickly brush over the blob of paint and you need a new one. Don't forget: Color changes in daylight, sometimes significantly.

Then you can also have the courage to use color:


Furniture too big

A corner couch is a real oasis of well-being. But if you have a small living room, you should switch to an armchair or a smaller sofa. Furniture that is too large can quickly make the room appear small.

Small but nice:


Placing furniture incorrectly

If you have a large living room, you should make sure that the furniture is not all lined up against the wall. The room quickly becomes sterile if there is too much space in the middle. Room dividers and small furniture / accessories can work wonders.

How about a sitting or reading corner?


Too many materials

A room only becomes really cozy when highlights are set. For example, a vintage armchair in a modern living room or an eye-catching picture. But if you overdo it and mix too many different materials and styles, then it is no longer cozy, but rather chaotic. So it's better to set up or supplement one by one.

A dash of color is enough:


Do without carpet

A carpet makes the room much more homely. The smaller your living room, the smaller you should choose the carpet so that the room does not visually shrink. But doing without is not an option.

He works wonders:


Wrong lighting

Just a lamp on the ceiling? Where is the sense of comfort then? Several light sources in different corners, which can also be dimmed if necessary, create the right atmosphere.

Even an additional floor lamp does it:


Place pictures haphazardly

A picture is quickly lost on a large, white wall. Better hang several pictures close together, e.g. B. two large or many small – based on the model of the Petersburg hangings.
