1. The Wrong Scale
Mistake: One of the most common errors in luxury interior design is choosing furniture that is either too large or too small for the space. This can disrupt the room’s flow and make even the most expensive pieces feel out of place.
Solution: Always measure your space carefully before purchasing furniture. Use design tools or consult with a professional to visualise how each piece will fit into the room. Selecting furniture that complements the room’s size and scale will ensure a harmonious and luxurious feel.

Interior design is a blend of art and science, and even seasoned decorators can fall into common traps. Liang & Eimil’s exquisite furniture, lighting, and accessories offer stylish solutions to help you correct these errors and elevate your home.
2. Proportion and Balance
Mistake: A lack of balance can make a room feel chaotic or awkward, even when filled with high-end furniture. Disproportionate elements, like an oversized sofa with undersized chairs, can create an uneven aesthetic.
Solution: Aim for symmetry and balance when arranging furniture. Distribute visual weight evenly across the space, using pairs or groupings of furniture to achieve a cohesive look. This balance will create a more comfortable and luxurious atmosphere.
3. Neglecting the Power of Lighting
Mistake: Ignoring lighting can make luxury interiors look dull and uninspired. Even the most exquisite furniture loses its impact in poor lighting conditions.
Solution: Invest in a layered lighting scheme that includes ambient, task, and accent lighting. Use statement chandeliers, wall lights, and floor lamps to highlight your furniture and create a warm, inviting ambiance. Proper lighting will enhance the luxury of your space.
4. Overloading on Patterns and Colours
Too many patterns and colours can overwhelm a space, making it feel cluttered rather than luxurious. This can detract from the elegance of the furniture.
Stick to a refined colour palette and use patterns sparingly. Choose a few key elements to showcase patterns, such as throw pillows or an area rug, and keep the rest of the design simple and sophisticated. This approach will allow your luxury furniture to shine.
5. Forgetting About Functionality
Mistake: In the pursuit of luxury, some designs prioritise aesthetics over functionality, resulting in beautiful spaces that are impractical for everyday use.
Solution: Ensure that your furniture serves both form and function. Opt for pieces that are not only visually stunning but also comfortable and practical. Functional luxury ensures that your space is not only beautiful but also livable.

6. Failing to Incorporate Personal Style
Mistake: Relying too heavily on trends can lead to a space that lacks personality and feels generic, despite its luxurious elements.
Solution: Infuse your personal style into the design. Choose furniture that reflects your taste and complements your lifestyle. Incorporating personal touches ensures your luxury space feels uniquely yours, not just a replication of a design magazine.
7. Neglecting the Importance of Textures
Mistake: Overlooking textures can result in a flat, uninviting space, no matter how luxurious the furniture might be.
Solution: Layering different textures adds depth and interest to a room. Combine smooth, glossy surfaces with soft, tactile fabrics and rougher materials like wood or stone. This variety in textures will create a rich, luxurious feel in your interior design.
8. Overlooking the Impact of Accessories
Focusing solely on furniture and neglecting accessories can make a space feel incomplete and lacking in character.
Carefully selected accessories, such as art, vases, and sculptures, can enhance the overall aesthetic and bring the design together. However, avoid cluttering the space – choose a few statement pieces that complement your furniture and contribute to the luxury feel.
9. Misplacing Art and Wall Decor
Mistake: Incorrectly placed art and wall decor can disrupt the harmony of a room, making it feel disjointed.
Solution: Place wall decor at eye level and ensure it is proportionate to the surrounding furniture. Large art pieces should be balanced with substantial furniture, while smaller pieces can be grouped to create a gallery effect. Proper placement of art will elevate the sophistication of the space.

10. Ignoring the Importance of Cohesion
Mistake: A lack of cohesion in design elements can result in a disjointed and chaotic space, even when individual pieces are luxurious.
Solution: Strive for a cohesive design by ensuring all elements, from furniture to accessories, share a common theme or style. Consistency in design will create a harmonious space where each piece complements the other, enhancing the overall luxury of the room.
