Here are a few things to avoid when decorating your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid pushing all your furniture against the walls:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nBecause it creates a sense of nothingness in the middle of the room, it actually makes it look smaller. Instead, try grouping your furniture in strategic settings across the room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid the three piece couch set:<br \/>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1216\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.qa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_398752666-523x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"523\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_398752666-523x400.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_398752666-768x588.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_398752666.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nWhat was once a staple in every living room has now become outdated. Try mixing and matching fabrics or styles for your couch, which can also help you create more seats as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid being too matchy:<br \/>\n<\/strong><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1220\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.qa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Untitled-design-8-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Untitled-design-8-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Untitled-design-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Untitled-design-8-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Untitled-design-8-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Untitled-design-8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><br \/>\nAnything that\u2019s too matchy will make your d\u00e9cor look very unnatural. Go for bold fabrics and play with colors to break mundane pieces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be smart when choosing art:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t choose art because it matches your furniture. Choose art because you like the way it looks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure you try out paint colors:<br \/>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1218\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.qa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_64503469-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_64503469-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_64503469-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_64503469.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nbefore committing to a color, make sure you try it out first!

And remember, design is a personal choice \u2013 stick to yours!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure your furniture is proportional:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nYou don\u2019t have to have same size everything at home, but make sure that whatever you choose is within an appropriate proportion of everything else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t forget the details:<br \/>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1219\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.propertyfinder.qa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_320005109-602x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_320005109-602x400.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_320005109-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_320005109.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nRemember, details are everything \u2013 so pay attention and get it right!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/en\/rent\/properties-for-rent.html\">Click here to find properties for rent in Qatar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all want our homes to look as beautiful as they possibly can, be it through the furniture, accessories or &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1222,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[6,9],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["en","ar"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"ar":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1213"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1213"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6790,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1213\/revisions\/6790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
