However, that could limit your options once you start furnishing. Instead, pick out choice pieces, like a couch you love, and make some decisions about fabrics and patterns you intend to have in the room first. You can then choose a coordinating colour that brings everything together.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong> Buying everything from one shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Home shopping can be time-consuming and tough, which is why many home dwellers succumb to one-stop shopping. Sure, it\u2019s convenient, but it could also drain the personality out of your apartment. In short, don\u2019t buy everything from IKEA unless you like living in an IKEA showroom. Home decorating should allow your own distinct personality to shine through.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-matchy.jpg\" alt=\"home decorating matchy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-matchy.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-matchy-940x679.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong> Going all matchy-matchy while home decorating<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Similarly, it\u2019s easy to find furniture sets and mix-and-match pieces these days from single retailers, such as a coordinated suite of sofa and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ezbuy.sg\/Promotion\/hfcsbedroom.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">bedroom pieces<\/a>. It\u2019s convenient and sometimes cost-efficient, but it can also be visually blah. It injects a lot more of your personal style to pick one item you love from one shop, and then adding pieces to the room from other places. Even if you\u2019re too busy to be traipsing in and out of furniture stores all day long, there are plenty of options online\u00a0these days to make shopping for the home that much easier.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-external-environment.jpg\" alt=\"home decorating external environment\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-external-environment.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-external-environment-940x627.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-external-environment-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong> Not taking the external environment into consideration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ve pored over interior decor websites and magazines, and made all your home decorating decisions based on the drool-worthy photo spreads. It\u2019s important, however, to also factor in the surroundings of your home. If your place gets a lot of sun, for instance, you want to think about how to play up the natural light and at the same time, leave lots of open space in the rooms so that it\u2019s airy, but not sweltering.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong> Pushing all furniture up against the wall<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s a common enough misconception that by lining all your furniture against the walls, you create more living space. But bringing the furniture inwards can actually create more balance, not to mention intimacy.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong> Ignoring scale and proportion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Consider the size of the room when you are shopping for furniture. A snazzy coffee table may look just right in a sprawling showroom but it may overwhelm your living room once you bring it back. Always have the room measurements with you when you shop. And when you are not sure a piece would fit well in your home, ask for its measurements and use masking tape to mark out its size to visualise whether you like how occupies the space. Similarly, the proportions of the furniture with respect to one another is also important.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-lighting.jpg\" alt=\"home decorating lighting\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-lighting.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-lighting-940x627.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/home-decorating-lighting-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong> Inadequate lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Living with one harsh ceiling fluorescent lamp may be functional, but it\u2019s hardly uplifting nor flattering.
