How to Recover from a Bad Interior Design Plan


So, you don’t like your interior design results. The eye-popping ideas you had in your head fizzled out in reality. The good news is that you’re not stuck. Even if you’ve exhausted all of your funds executing a bad interior design plan, there are still steps you can take.


What Don’t You Like?

First, figure out why you’re so unhappy with the result. Is it anything specific? Sometimes people just don’t like the vibe of a particular room. It could be the furniture doesn’t go together, or maybe you feel as though the color scheme is off.


What Do You Like?

Take note of what you like as well. The easiest way to save money on your redesign to keep as many elements as possible.


Make Some Changes

Once you figure out what’s wrong, it’s time to fix it. For instance, let’s say you’re not happy with the furniture. You still have a few options. You can throw out everything and start fresh. This is only a choice if you have enough money.


You can also try rearranging things. Look up the principles of Feng Shui. You can organize the furniture in such a way that the room exudes peace and comfort.


Of course, you can also replace a few small pieces. If you don’t have enough money to buy new furniture, you can try refurbishing. You can follow how-to guides on YouTube.


Painting & Color Choices

The furniture is just one small part. The room’s paint job is also significant. If you made a mistake with the shade you chose for the room’s walls, it’s very easy to fix it. Simply paint or wallpaper over the old color.


It could also be that you weren’t bold enough with your color choices. If you need more color in the room, purchase bright accent pieces. If you need less color, take some of those pieces away.


Personalize It

One way to alter a room’s vibe is to add more personal touches. Put a few framed photographs on the wall. A bland, sterile room can be transformed by such simple gestures. If you don’t have any photos that you like, throw up a tapestry or poster that represents something you can believe in.


Yes, Interior Design Is a Process

Interior design is a process. It’s not uncommon to make many mistakes on the way to achieving your goal. Whether or not you ultimately succeed depends on your ability to keep going after disappointments.


You might need to design a room multiple times before you’re happy with the results. That’s okay! Take your time.


Fixing a failed interior design strategy can even be fun. You have the ability to try out a host of different looks.


After all, a hated interior design plan can make you feel uncomfortable in your own home. Your residence is your kingdom, it’s where you should feel free to relax and be yourself. If you can’t do that, it’s very jarring.
