When it comes to choosing furnitures, do not forget to pay attention to the furniture proportion to room size. Before placing furnitures, you should consider both the room and the furnitures’ sizes. A big furniture in a small room, or a small carpet in a wide room could disturb the whole appearance of the room. You could avoid these mistakes by buying furnitures that are suitable not only in terms of concept, but also the size.

The arrangement of a room should be adjusted to the activity routine done in that room. For example, during kitchen renovation, you should pay attention to the placement of the stove, refrigerator, kitchen sink, and dish storage shelf. A kitchen sink and a dish storage shelf should be placed nearby, as it could increase the efficiency of activities done in the kitchen. Moreover, you should also consider the space available for mobility.

Room lighting is a very crucial element of the room that you should pay attention during house renovation.

Provide some sufficient space in the room for windows placement which could allow sunlight to pass through during the day. Make sure to also consider the placement of artificial lighting. To avoid the cables from getting messy and disturb the room’s appearance, place the lights near electric plugs. Do not forget to adjust the light placement to its function, background, and surrounding furnitures.

House renovation is a time for your to experiment with the latest house concepts and trends. However, make sure that you decide only one specific trend to follow, and ensure that the trend is suitable to your house concept, because if you apply more than one trend at once in a room, it could make your room look full and too crowded.
