What are some common mistakes to avoid in interior design

Sure thing! Here are five common mistakes to avoid in interior design:

**Ignoring Scale and Proportion**: One big mistake is not considering the size of your furniture and decor in relation to the room. Oversized furniture can make a small space feel cramped, while tiny pieces can get lost in a large room. Always measure before you buy!

**Choosing Trends Over Timelessness**: It's easy to get caught up in the latest design trends, but they can quickly go out of style. Opt for classic pieces that will stand the test of time, and use trendy items as accents instead.

**Neglecting Lighting**: Lighting can make or break a space. Relying solely on overhead lights can leave a room feeling flat. Layer your lighting with floor lamps, table lamps, and even candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

**Forgetting About Functionality**: A beautiful space is great, but it needs to be functional too! Make sure your layout works for how you actually live in the space. Think about traffic flow and how you’ll use each area.
