One of the most complicated things when it comes to interior design is to hit the nail on the head when it comes to distributing the spaces in the house. It tends to fall into repetitive mistakes that can dwarf or waste many areas of your home. As «knowledge is power», we are going to tell you what they are and how to solve them.

We invite you to configure the best possible space for each of your rooms. To achieve this, avoid making the most common mistakes. You are ready?

The art of distributing the spaces of the house

There are very common mistakes that people often make when it comes to decorating. The distribution of the spaces is not an easy task and, sometimes, it entails that the harmony is lost or that the furniture and accessories do not look as it should.

Discover everything you must take into account when choosing the furniture and the rest of the elements because there are certain aspects that could overload your room or create the visual sensation that it is small.

1. Do not differentiate the zones

We recently talked to you about the different ways in which you can delimit spaces without the need for partitions. Take a look at the article because it is important that, in large or open areas, each of the environments is differentiated very well.  You can do it with shelves, plants, rugs, etc. This gives more visual clarity.

2. Do not distribute spaces according to proportions

One of the most common layout mistakes is choosing furniture without rhyme or reason. There are two problems. On the one hand,  not taking into account the size of the space in which the pieces will go and, on the other, not considering the proportions between them.

Remember that if you choose very large furniture for a small room, the space will be full; whereas if they are too small, they will be lost and will not look as you would like.

3. Block the passage of natural light

Lighting is very necessary when creating pleasant environments, but even more valuable is natural light. Distribute the furniture taking into account where the light enters.

A word of advice: avoid curtains that are too opaque, instead opt for light curtains or blinds. If your house is dark, mirrors are a good way to multiply the luminosity. This XL version from Banak Import is beautiful.

4. Too many walls hinder when distributing the spaces of the house

The more partitions in your house, the smaller it will look. It is not about turning it into a loft (or yes), but it is about observing if you have some areas that are too compartmentalized.

A good idea, if you are thinking of a reform, is to open the kitchen to the dining room. In addition to being an absolute trend, it completely changes the perception of space. You can also eliminate some divisions or change partitions for glass.

5. Do not consider the areas of passage

As a general rule, always avoid filling any space with too much furniture, especially if you have a mini-floor . In this sense, the furniture would be very close to each other, which would subtract meters and make movement difficult.

Keep in mind that the ideal is that there are at least 40 or 50 centimeters between each piece of furniture. In this way, the areas of passage will be free and you will ensure that there is good circulation.

6. Do not connect the spaces

If you have a terrace, a patio, a garden or a balcony, do not hesitate to make them part of your home. Make the indoor space communicated with these outdoor areas .

How? With light curtains, sliding doors, glass, everything you can think of to make it part of the rest of the house. Condition this space with plants, armchairs, cushions and any element that is to your liking and that allows you to enjoy it. Otherwise, it will be a lost zone. Look at Be.Green and fill it with nature.

When it comes to distributing spaces, it is thought that it only has to do with the way the houses are built. While it is true that this is an important part, it is not everything since the furniture, the way you place it, the proportions and the light have a lot to say about it.

Now that you know the mistakes that are made on a regular basis, you can solve them and enjoy much more harmonious and used spaces.if you need some tips about how to use color in your room to make it beautiful check this post from forsimplytech
