I’m an interior designer – 5 common mistakes people make when decorating their bedroom, including a furniture faux pas
AN interior design expert has shared five common mistakes people make when decorating their bedrooms.
From your curtains to your rugs, there is a lot to consider when designing your space.
In her video, TikTok user Katie Kerdi (@katekerdiinteriors) revealed the “five bedroom design mistakes you are probably making.”
For her first recommendation, the TikToker advised her followers to opt for custom-made curtains.
She explained that this move “can enhance the aesthetic of a room and provide better light control and privacy compared to off-the-shelf options.”
Katie also pointed out that customizing your curtains allows you to “tailor the design, fabric, and size to match your decor and preferences perfectly.”
She also highlighted the importance of investing in a high-quality mattress.
“A quality mattress can improve your sleep quality, overall health, and well-being,” she explained.
The interior designer called a good mattress “an investment in your comfort and long-term health.”
For her next tip, Katie suggested steering clear of matching furniture sets, which she said can make a room look monotonous.
“Mixing and matching pieces can add more personality and uniqueness to your space,” she explained.
She also recommended having more than one light source in your bedroom.
Katie told viewers: “Having only one light source in the bedroom might lead to uneven lighting and potential discomfort.
“It’s a good idea to incorporate multiple light sources, such as overhead lights, bedside lamps, and possibly even floor or wall-mounted lights.”
Finally, she pointed out the importance of getting a proper-sized rug for your space.
“Using a bedroom rug that is too small can make the room feel disconnected and visually unbalanced,” she explained.
Katie recommended investing in a larger rug that can anchor the different furniture pieces in the room, creating a cohesive look.
