Interior Design Mistakes To Avoid: Overcoming Indecisiveness
The process of furniture shopping for a room often begins by saving Pinterest photos, getting inspired from magazines, or items seen in person. Although it would be much easier to trust a specialist who knows exactly what you want and to select products you need to your liking, it can be a fulfilling process to hunt for your own treasures for your own home. Both processes can be lengthy depending on how decisions are being made.
Interior designers and clients can face a communication barrier in the early stages of planning; as a client, it’s common to be uncertain of what you want, yet somehow have an idea of what you want, yet not know how to articulate it, in hopes that the designer would figure it out and present to you what you may or may not have imagined. This is why a specialist was hired in the first place! On the other hand, if a client is totally uncertain, interior designers may have a fixed idea of what they want to create, as a solution to stick to their signature aesthetic, or to avoid a slow progression of indecisiveness. This may result in the client not getting what truly reflects their lifestyle.
Consider the following steps when it comes to figuring out what you want and need:
Assess for significance: When you’re looking to purchase a piece of furniture, think about how it will contribute to your home life. If you spend a lot of time in your living room, you may want to look for a TV unit or credenza that has enough storage space for your hobbies such as books, games, and entertainment.
Consider comfort: Some pieces of furniture are more beautiful than they are comfortable. That aesthetic sofa you saw on Pinterest may be an elegant choice for guests to sit on, but not provide the best comfort for movie nights. Or the sleek home study chair may not provide the best lumbar support as an ergonomic office chair. Consider comfort in furniture for your long term wellbeing.
Rule of three - select from a few: Good furniture is an investment. It’s best to browse multiple brands and designs to make the right choice for long term use. Before selecting the winner, have your two runner ups to give you the confidence in selecting the best piece of furniture you could find.
