Most Common Design Flaws in Your Home

It's the season of home decorations and everybody is looking at the catalogues. You are looking at the latest fashion trends, wondering what features should you put this year. But not everyone is a designer, so we tend to do some common mistakes, when we renovate our homes. Whether it is because you didn't have the necessary budget or simply you missed something, flaws are nothing unusual. But here I'll give you some tips how to avoid he most common mistakes in home decorations.

What are the most common design flaws in your home? Here are some basic tips about home improvement. Let's start:

Walk-in Closets

This trends starts from the rich people we see on TV. We have seen so many successful celebrities on MTV Cribs, having big closets, storing all their clothes and shoes. But for the regular person, you don't need so much space. It's good to have a good storage place, but when you have too much of it, you are simply cluttering your life. If you have a big family, this space would be in much more use if you make it to a room or something that your kids might enjoy. Instead of wasting so much space, build some cabinets, that could look a lot more stylish, and will do the same job.

No Circulation

This is a really common problem. For many reasons people are not opening their windows to get some fresh air. They even install thicker frames, that isolate more noise, put bars for burglar protection. And with all the air conditioning technologies, they don't even have to open one. You get cold or hot air from the AC, but you are not getting fresh air. This can cause some serious health problems. You are using air conditioners on your work place, in the car, at home. It's good to put some isolations for the winter, but remember, that you will still have to use those windows.

No Natural Light

We continue with the windows. I completely understand that you want to lower your electricity bills, so you prefer smaller windows, so there is less cold in the winter. But don't think of it like that. The more sunlight you get, the warmer your room will be. Also, you are saving money from electricity, because you will use less artificial lighting. The problem comes if you don't have the right curtains. After all, you will need to cover the windows in the summer and from your curious neighbours. Invest some money for bigger windows.

Multi Using

Many people are making a multi-purpose room with the idea that they can do so many activities inside, that they are saving some space. Yes, the idea is not bad, but only if you do it right. Think carefully before you build the room. Do you really need one? How can you make the combination between the two desired rooms? If you want to make a game room, think if your family really needs that. If it's for you and your buddies, make it in the basement or the garage, but don't take the precious space from your family. If you need an office, do it, but try to make it useful not only for yourself. For instance – put a library in to your office.

A Bad Kitchen

Don't overdo it. Many people think that just because everything is easy to reach, the kitchen is functional and beautiful. With tens of hanging pans from the ceiling, I doubt that someone will find this attractive. Instead, put some drawers, some cabinets on the walls. It will look a lot more stylish, specially if they are in the right colour, everything will look more organized. When you cook you need more space around you, so think about that.

And don't forget to use the right materials. You don't want all your work to be in vain, just because you used something cheap or in the wrong proportions. But who will clean after the builders? Who will clean all the mess from the materials, the old furniture etc. That's also a common mistake. People rent trucks and hire people to take care of these things, when there is no actual need for that. There are plenty of junk removal London based companies that can help you.
