8 Interior Styling Mistakes to Avoid (and How to Fix Them)

We’ve all been there. You scroll through Pinterest, save all the dream home inspo, and then wonder why your living room feels more “flat share in need of a miracle” than “modern sanctuary.” The truth is, even the most stylish homes can make a few common mistakes. 

Luckily, they are all easy to fix.

Here are 8 interior styling mistakes to avoid and how our products can help, from sofas to dining tables and sideboards, sofa beds and beyond.

1. Choosing the wrong sofa size

A sofa that is too big or too small can throw off your living room layout. Look for a sofa like the Model 02, which is perfectly proportioned to suit both small and large spaces. Its generous depth and modern finish make your living room feel balanced and inviting.

Tip: Always measure your room before buying. Your doors and walkways will thank you.

2. Playing it too safe with colour

All-beige everything can be safe but boring. More is more. The Model 03 sofa comes in rich, statement colours like Brick and Vine to make your living room feel warm and vibrant.

Tip: Pair bold sofas with neutral cushions or throws for a grown-up, stylish look. Colour is your friend, not your foe.

3. Forgetting functionality

A sofa should be stylish but also practical. The Model 04 sofa bed transforms easily from sleek sofa to comfortable bed without clunky mechanisms or complicated instructions. Ideal for guest rooms or apartments where space is limited.

Tip: Keep a fresh set of bedding ready for unexpected overnight guests.

4. Overcrowding your living room

Too many pieces in a small room makes it feel cramped. The Model 08 sofa bed is compact yet functional, perfect for multi-use spaces without sacrificing comfort.

Tip: Leave space around furniture to create a light and airy feel. Less can be more.

5. Choosing the wrong dining table

Your dining table is the centrepiece of your home. The Dining Table 01 is a stylish and practical choice, perfect for dinner parties, working from home or binge-watching your favourite shows while eating snacks.

Tip: Keep your table clear except for one or two decorative pieces. A clutter-free table is always more welcoming.

6. Settling for uninspiring dining chairs

Dining chairs should be as stylish as your table. The Dining Chair 01 offers comfort and design with soft curves and quality upholstery. Mixing colours or textures adds personality without unwanted chaos.

Tip: Think of your chairs as mini works of art that encourage guests to linger longer.

7. Neglecting storage

Clutter ruins even the most beautiful interiors. The Sideboard 01 combines storage and style, keeping your space tidy whilst providing a surface for your favourite trinkets and lighting.

Tip: Style the top like a gallery with varying heights and textures to add interest.

8. Overthinking your home design

Great interiors should feel effortless. The Model 10 sofa and with its soft cushions and retro vibe makes it easy to create a space that feels polished but personal and welcoming. Choose pieces you love and your home will never feel forced or over-styled.

Tip: Trust your instincts. Your space is an extension of you.
