Deadly Design Sin no.7
Impulse shopping habits. This unfortunate complete loss of style sense, often occurs when one is on holiday and in foreign countries. Think carefully before each and every purchase for your home. Always have a plan, and take a moment to decide if you really need that oversized rainbow coloured sombrero as a focal point in your dinning room.

Deadly Design Sin no.6
Matchy, Matchy. Avoid matching all items in your room. Rather experiment with texture, pattern and colour to achieve a well designed and interesting space.

Deadly Design Sin no.5
Carpet's in the bathrooms. This is a terrible idea, apart from the obvious hygiene issues. the carpets always look damp and have a squishy feeling underfoot. They also tend to smell a bit funny.

Deadly Design Sin no.3
Oversized furniture! How to make your space looks small and pokey, the easy way. Get rid of that oversized furniture! Purchase furniture and accessories that suite the size of your space. Those oversized couches must go! Just because you have purchased well designed furniture that is suitable for your space, does not mean that you will loose the comfort factor. Big is not always better!

Ooooh this is my favorite..

Deadly Design Sin no.2
Florescent lights, and horrid plastic spot lights, that are a favorite of all developers. Take those lights down, and remove them from your house. This is the most cost effective and effective change you can make in your living space!

How to - the enlightening change.
Take a trip doen to your local decor shop, purchase a drum lampshade, for around R200.

Next, go any light, or building shop and purchase a pendant light cable for around R35.
The Result, a total change of feel, light and design in your living space.

Deadly Design Sin no.1
Our top deadly design sin, and the easiest to avoid!

Always finish what you started! There is nothing more un-claming to the mind than an unfinished renovation or design project. Take the day off work if you have to, but finish that project - and yes that includes all accessories and hanging pictures.
