Installation problems: Choose the appropriate size decor

Struggle with the decor that looks very large, very small or “out”? In this post, I deal with the real reader dilemmas and explain to you how to fix the size and the common ratio so that your home looks completely balanced and deliberate

Have you ever put a piece of furniture or the wall decor only to retreat and feel something … outside? Your exhibition wall may seem very similar, or that your great artwork dominates the room, or that your mirror feels very small on the control unit table. The problem is likely to be your style – it is a measure and a ratio.

I previously covered this topic in this blog post, where I dismantled the general rules for obtaining the size and ratio properly. But in today’s post, we take a step forward by treating real reader dilemmas and showing you how to fix them through practical and easy -to -follow solutions.

From designing a narrow fireplace rack to choosing the artwork appropriate size for a small room, these tips will help you create a firm and balanced look at your home. Let’s dive into!

Meghan design dilemma – decorating the shallow burner shelf

“How can I decorate my stove rack? Ideally, in a way that can work throughout the year with simple seasonal modifications.”

MEGHAN has a large fragile fan print as a pivotal point – the perfect piece – but the rest of the decor feels unacceptable and unbalanced. Since Mantel is only 8.5 inches deep, the design requires strategic layers and a scalp decor to maintain a balanced and deliberate appearance.

PSST … If you need help decorating the burner rack, I have a full blog post dedicated to this!

Common mistakes in playing

The small decoration on both sides of the shelf (lamp, statues and clock) lacks sufficient optical effect to consolidate the area. Since the decor is far away, it feels separate instead of coherent. Everything is placed on the same level of the eye, and the opportunity of the depth is missing. Black lanterns on the left floor are great, but they are not visually linked to the shelf decor, leaving the lower space heavier than the top.

Reform: How to design Meghan’s shelf to take a balanced look

Keep the great artwork as a strong pivotal point: This art piece is perfect (aimed at two -thirds of the shelf width) and is suspended in the right height, but I think it can benefit from a small print mode framed in front of it for the dimension. A group of larger objects for optical weight: instead of cutting one small decor, Meghan should combine things in groups to deliberately look. The stacking of books also helps on the Earth elements and makes them feel more coherent. Include the various heights and themson on the right side: Replace the small watch with a black vase with branches for an additional height. On the left side: switch the small lamp of a group of books with a carved object, such as candles, to create layers. Glick in the black lanterns to take a coherent look: since the lanterns on the ground are bold, adding a black and vase with dark ceramic to the shelf will help tie the space together. You want to repeat the colors at least 2-3 times throughout the open space.

With these small adjustments, the Megan stove will move from the feeling of excellence and separation from the coherent appearance. These simple changes will make the room feel studied in a deliberate manner.

Lisa design dilemma – tight entrance wall design

“How do you design a narrow wall in a lobby/entrance?

The entrance wall in Lisa needs a better scope and a percentage to feel deliberate and balanced. The current short cabinet does not use the entire wall space, and it discusses whether the longer arched cabinet or a seat will be the right option with these smaller spaces.

The key to solving this dilemma is the choice of furniture and decoration that suits properly.

Common mistakes in playing

The current cabinet is very short, which makes the wall feel empty instead of fixing it. I love the vase on the cabinet, but it is very huge for the small piece of furniture. The exhibition wall is hung to the tires very high and does not add enough visual weight to the wall.

Repair: How Lisa Entrance Style for a Better Retire

Upgrading to a longer wardrobe: It will fit better arched cabinet, the total dimensions of the wall, creating a pivotal point and using a vertical space. This is not very wide but has some height. Consider the slim control unit instead of the bench: instead of a huge seat, the slim control unit will provide a nice place in this field. It can even use the wonderful decor that he had already he had before – the golden mirror and his property with the Cuba at the top of the furniture. Remove the exhibition wall: I love the idea of ​​the exhibition wall here, but the current design does not work completely. I would like to add it to another area at home and five other frames for a 3 x 3 network to increase the vertical and horizontal space on the wall.

With these simple adjustments, the Lisa entrance will feel more pluralism and action.

Kassity design dilemma – making a small mirror at an entrance

“I have an ancient wardrobe and mirror in the entrance corridor that does not work completely. I think the mirror is very small for the space, but I really don’t want to move it. I would like to find ways to make it work – maybe a different decor on the cabinet or additional things on the wall?”

The Kassity entrance has a beautiful ancient mirror, but its small size makes it feel separate from the space. Since it does not want to move the mirror, the best way is the design around it to make it feel deliberate. The challenge here is everything related to proportionality and balance – which makes a small piece working in a larger wall area without feeling lost.

Common mistakes in playing

The mirror is very small for the available wall space, which makes it feel separate from the furniture below. There is a good base that the artwork is about two -thirds of the furniture width below. The decoration lacks the cabinet to the height, and because they are all small pieces, the space feels confused. The space that is thrown together feels instead of its design.

Reform: How to make a small mirror feel more pledge

Merging the mirror into the exhibition wall: Kassity loves the mirror and wants to stay, so I suggest building an exhibition wall around it. I originally focused on it over the console, but I will dismantle it and add more tires around it. This makes the entire group feel coherent and suitable for the console below. Keep the minimum decor: Since the exhibition wall is very busy, I will keep the control unit free of chaos. A long wooden bowl to hold the keys or mail and vase with flowers for height. Add height and warmth with a ground lamp: to the left of the console, I would like to add a ground lamp. Currently, they have only upper lighting in this space and I think multiple lighting sources are necessary to create a comfortable atmosphere. Add a color with hostility: with beige floor tiles and beige walls, they can use a little color here! I would like to choose a long colored floor hostility to save space and add life.

With these small adjustments, the Kassity Entrance Mirror will feel the goal and well -proposed. In addition, it can still show the old mirror!

Collect everything together

These realistic design dilemmas prove that the range and the percentage play a major role in making space deliberately and balanced. Whether it is a shallow profit, a narrow entrance or a small mirror you feel lost, the key is to choose the appropriate home decor to work with space instead.

If you are struggling with a space you feel “out”, take a step back and think about whether the furniture, technical publications or accessories are properly defined. Some small adjustments – such as adding height or layer decoration or choosing the correct width of the furniture – can make a big difference.
