The 5 mistakes a designer should never make

The interior design profession is a delicate balance between aesthetic sensibility and design functionality

Every interior design project has ever-changing needs and desires; tackling them on your own and creating the rooms of your dreams is not easy, but fortunately the interior designer has the right skills to help you achieve the perfect home.

However, there are some fatal mistakes to be particularly careful about and interior designers should never make.

Not understanding the client's request

 

The first difficulty the interior designer may encounter is that of a total or partial misunderstanding of the client's requirements. It is not always easy to create an harmonious, straightforward and proactive relationship, but it is a necessary effort to intercept both the economic limits that a client may have and his functional requirements. Not to mention style: a clear and comprehensive brief, visits, examples and material pictures can help define the aesthetics to be achieved, without leaving any questions or doubts unanswered. Each client has his or her own vision of the project, and the interior designer's skill is to understand and interpret it in the best possible way, making it even more attractive in the final result.

 

Not knowing how to integrate the request into the surrounding context

 

The interior designer is often faced with a limited request, such as furnishing a room or part of a house. In this case, his professionalism is demonstrated in the harmonisation of environments, in the integration of styles that can also be positioned at the extremes of the aesthetic scale. If, for example, you want to furnish a living room with a contemporary touch, you have to take into account the furnishings of the other rooms, which may have a somewhat dated concept. A clean break would create too obvious a contrast, making both the renovated room and the others unpleasant.

Failure to make the design of spaces in harmony and in connection with each other

 

Even when dealing with the total furnishing of a house, the interior designer must demonstrate his or her ability to harmonise all rooms. From the kitchen to the living room, from the bathroom to the bedroom, everything must be coherent, without being repetitive or boring. An accurate study of materials and colours therefore becomes essential, in order to create decor solutions with a fresh spirit, pleasing to the eye, functional and above all harmonious.

Creating a furnishing project using a single brand name

 

A complete furniture project is a complex creation: each element must harmonise with the others both in terms of materials and colour palette. Functionality is essential, and there are plenty of interesting solutions on the market. One mistake the interior designer can make is to rely on a single brand, which may be easier for the natural harmonisation of the environment, but risks being monotonous when extended to all the rooms in the house. As in a well-orchestrated symphony, contrasting pieces illuminate each solution with notes of character, making it pleasant and 'light' to look at.

 

Not giving the right weight to accessories and greenery

 

Once the interior designer has defined the choice of furniture to be placed in each room, the accessories and greenery are also correctly composed. It would be a serious mistake not to evaluate correctly these details, which are essential to give personality and a vital touch to every room. The proportions between objects and the compositional effect, the balance between volumes must be correctly evaluated, without forgetting that a 'crowding' of elements could compromise the final result.

The inclusion of plants, vases and natural elements adds a positive influence in our homes, both aesthetically and emotionally, which are absolutely essential in contemporary homes. Plants not only beautify the environment, they purify the air, balance the mind, transmit tranquillity and well-being. You can't forget to include them in every project.
