The Big Picture: Weaving These Principles into Your Home
Avoiding these ten mistakes isn’t about achieving perfection or spending a fortune. It’s about shifting your mindset from decorating to designing. It’s about making intentional choices regarding scale, light, texture, and personal narrative. A truly chic home is a cohesive ecosystem where every element works in harmony. It feels balanced, authentic, and deeply considered.
Start with one room. Assess it against this list. Is the rug anchoring the space? Is the lighting layered? Does the art feel personal? Making just one or two of these sophisticated adjustments can have a profound impact, elevating the entire feel of your home. For professional design standards, refer to the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).
