If you want to design your interior by yourself, then you need to be pretty careful - there are plenty of things you can forget about.

While you might naturally have an amazing taste and sense of beauty, we are all humans, so we tend to forget about important things.

Here are a few aspects you should never forget about when creating interior designs.

Ignoring Functionality

One big mistake is forgetting how you'll use the space.

If you don't think about what you need, you might end up with a pretty room that doesn't work well for your daily life.

Overcrowding

Sometimes, people put too much furniture and stuff in a room. 

This can make it feel cramped and uncomfortable. It's important to leave some open space.

Ignoring Lighting

Not paying attention to lighting is another mistake. 

Dark rooms can be gloomy, and too much harsh light can be uncomfortable. Find a balance.

Choosing the Wrong Size Furniture

Picking furniture that's too big or too small for a room is common. It can throw off the room's balance and make it look odd.

Ignoring Color Balance

Using too many colors or not coordinating them well can make a room look chaotic. 

It's better to have a color scheme that works together.

Neglecting Storage

Forgetting about storage can lead to clutter. It's important to have places to put things away neatly.

Not Planning for Traffic

If you don't think about how people will move around in a room, you might create obstacles and make it hard to get from one place to another.

It's better to mix in some classic elements that won't go out of style.

Ignoring Scale

Large rooms need larger furniture, and small rooms need smaller furniture. Using the wrong scale can make things look strange.
