Sacrificing Form Over Function
We all want a beautiful home, but it’s also important that the finishes and furniture selected are meant to be lived in as well.
When selecting these pieces be sure to consider how the space can and should best function for your life. If you have pets or kids, think about kitchen counters, rugs, and sofas that are going to be family-friendly and stylish. You can get the best of both worlds!
Mis-Measuring
If you’re ordering materials or decor it’s important to carefully measure and re-measure the space. You don’t want to buy things that are the wrong size.
In many cases, you can return a table or couch if the size doesn’t work, but anything custom made is usually final sale, so be sure to also check the return policy before purchasing.
For finishing materials that you’re installing, like cabinets, counters, or floors - being off by even an inch can cause a lot of problems. So measure, measure, measure!
