Manage episode 480161740 series 3651948
What Are The Biggest Mistakes Homeowners Make When Redesigning Their Space?
Ever purchased a stunning piece of furniture only to discover it completely overwhelms your space once delivered? You're not alone. Redesigning your home should be exciting, not frustrating—yet many homeowners find themselves trapped in avoidable design pitfalls that leave them disappointed with the results.
In this enlightening conversation, veteran interior designers Roy and Diane Mitchell draw from their 50+ years of combined expertise to reveal the most common mistakes people make when reimagining their living spaces. They share candid insights about why that sectional sofa that looked perfect in the store now dominates your living room ("The store's 120,000 square feet with 30-foot ceilings"), and how scattered inspiration sources often lead to disconnected design choices.
The pair dives deep into the professional designer's toolkit, explaining how trained experts approach balance, scale, and texture in ways that transform ordinary spaces into cohesive, beautiful environments. You'll discover why certain fabrics feel inappropriate in different seasons, how proper lighting placement makes or breaks a design, and why "blending texture is not for the faint of heart." Their practical wisdom extends to avoiding impulse purchases, with Roy and Diane sharing how they guide clients toward making confident decisions that express their authentic style while maintaining design integrity.
