PRLog - Jun. 30, 2014 - ATLANTA -- Atlanta Custom Builders: 5 New Home Decorating Disasters
Some new homeowners are not experienced in home interior design and unfortunately, this fact can be brilliantly displayed when a decorating disaster occurs. For this reason, when designing a new home, homeowners can certainly be a valuable source of inspiration, but the task of ensuring that everything "works" together is best left to the design professionals employed by Southland's Atlanta custom builders.
The following represent five of the most common home decorating disasters perpetrated by new homeowners.
Stained Glass Genocide
Stained glass can give the right room a truly unique and classy appearance, but it is not the least expensive thing in the world. That's why so many homeowners try to replicate the effect of stained glass using gel paint kits purchased at hobby and craft stores. The problem is these kits are extremely messy and even the most skilled applications pale significantly in comparison to the real thing.
Wall Mural Massacres
Unless you paint wall murals for a living, odds are your project is not going to wind up looking as good in person as it does in your head. When it comes to this type of project, planning and practice is essential. Start by painting on a smaller scale and then when you feel ready, start your mural on one wall at a time so it can be easily repainted if the results aren't what you envisioned.
Bathroom Tile Terrors
Installing bathroom tiles properly requires using the right type of tiles, the right type of adhesive, the right type of grout, and the right type of sealant. Using just one wrong element can quickly cause this project to deteriorate into a disaster that will ultimately result in another costly bathroom renovation in the near future.
Carpet Carnage
Many homeowners fall in love with a carpet's color or texture without fully thinking about the consequences of actually installing it. For instance, choosing a light-colored carpet for a home in which there are small children and pets will result in constant cleaning, and in most cases, a quicker than average carpet replacement. Before settling on a flooring option, always take the time to consider your family's lifestyle.
Wallpaper Waterloo
Wallpaper is a common fixture in older houses and once installed it can be a real pain to take down. So, rather than put in the effort many new homeowners simply choose to paint over it. Unfortunately, painted wallpaper looks absolutely horrible because it brings to light every imperfection, seam, and bubble in the paper that was previously hidden by the paper's noisy pattern.
