Following Fads and Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1234\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Modern-Furniture.jpg\" alt=\"Modern furniture room\" \/>\n\nAs a design professional, you have your finger on the pulse of current trends at all times. Staying up-to-date through magazines, websites, and even window-shopping, you\u2019re always on top of the latest fads.\n\nBut beware\u2014when decorating a client&#8217;s home, tread very carefully with popular colors, furniture, and general decorating trends. The ultra-modern table in the store window that looks like it belongs on a spaceship? It probably won&#8217;t fit in with your client&#8217;s more conservative furniture, no matter how much they love it.\n\nAnother consideration regarding trends and fads\u2014your clients likely do not have the budget to be updating their living spaces in a year or two, so try to keep it classic. For a happy balance, use a trendy color on a living room wall for a statement, while decorating with more conservative furniture. It&#8217;s the best of both worlds!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Forgetting_About_Lighting\"><\/span>2. Forgetting About Lighting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1235\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lighting.jpg\" alt=\"Dimly lit room\" \/>\n\nWhen your focus is on furniture and its arrangement in a space, lighting is often moved to the bottom of the priority list. Only later, when the room is complete, do clients and decorators realize that they have a lighting disaster on their hands!\n\nOverhead lighting can be harsh and overly bright, which doesn\u2019t really help create a pleasant and relaxing living space. Installing dimmers will allow clients to control brightness, and using soft white bulbs will prevent lights from being too harsh. Moving lighting to a higher priority level when decorating is essential in order to prevent lighting mistakes!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Choosing_Cheap_Furniture\"><\/span>3. Choosing Cheap Furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nEvery client is working within a budget to decorate their home. Unfortunately, furniture can be very expensive, and it can seem impossible to find the right item for the right price! A quick fix in the form of a cheap piece of furniture can be a last resort for a client who is looking to fill one last space in their living room without breaking the bank.\n\nAs a decorator, your job is to discourage this practice. When it comes to decorating, you truly do get what you pay for, (cheap furniture simply does not last!) so being stingy with items such as tables, chairs, and bed frames is not going to help your client in the long run. Encourage your client to invest in their furniture\u2014yes, they may be spending a little bit more, but it will be worth it in terms of quality and longevity.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_DIY_Gone_Wrong\"><\/span>4. The DIY Gone Wrong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1237\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DIY.jpg\" alt=\"Girl painting a wall\" \/>\n\nWhen you meet your client for an initial consultation, you gain an understanding of their design vision. Most clients are not well-versed in the world of interior decorating, so they&#8217;ll be looking to you for guidance and expert advice when it comes to transforming their space. However, some of your clients may be crafty, creative types who have<a href=\"2016\/03\/home-decor-to-diy-or-not-to-diy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> DIY plans<\/a> for their home\u2014they want to wallpaper the walls themselves, or lay down new hardwood flooring.\n\nDon&#8217;t fall into the trap of giving clients free reign when it comes to undertaking huge design projects\u2014offer guidance, help them choose samples of wallpaper or flooring, but ultimately hire someone with professional experience to do the job. A DIY gone wrong is a huge, costly mistake for any interior decorator, and can be extremely time consuming for the client who is keen to finish projects themselves.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Too_Much_Furniture_On_The_Wall\"><\/span>5. Too Much Furniture On The Wall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1238\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Couch-Wall.jpg\" alt=\"Clean simple living room\" \/>\n\nSpace is a highly desirable feature of a home, and both decorators and clients alike are constantly striving to create space in even the smallest of living spaces. One such tactic is by pushing couches and chairs to the edges of the room, along the walls.\n\nBig mistake\u2014this does create space, but not in a desirable way! You want to create an intimate living space where the chairs and couches are close enough to one another, in order for the occupants to carry on a conversation, and share in the company of others. By pushing furniture too far apart, the living space completely loses its intimate, cozy feeling. Too much space really is a bad thing, so keep it simple.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Out-of-Place_Themes\"><\/span>6. Out-of-Place Themes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1239\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Prints.jpg\" alt=\"Bright ugly bedroom theme\" \/>\n\nYour client loves floral prints\u2014so much so, that they&#8217;ve chosen one particular print and want to use it on their bedspread, curtains, and the chair in their bedroom. Decorating with one specific theme, or print, seems like a smart design tactic, as it will ensure everything is coordinated. Don&#8217;t do it! Decorating too much in the same print is not only overly matchy, it&#8217;s also overwhelming.\n\nKeep your client (and their room) happy by concentrating the print in one area of the room\u2014choose the bedspread and pillows, for example, and add curtains, chairs, and other decorative elements in complementary colors.
