The mismatched blend of styles, spontaneous purchases, and the gap between interior choices and the owner’s lifestyle can ruin any space. This is a view shared by Ksenia Kuznetsova, product director and designer at Mr.Doors, in a conversation with socialbites.ca.
She notes that pairing conflicting aesthetics like a loft vibe with a Provence touch or a boho atmosphere with high-tech elements creates soundless friction. These combinations carry opposite visual meanings and attract people with very different temperaments and worldviews. Kuznetsova recommends taking time to study the styles that catch your eye during the concept phase of a project and to honestly assess whether you are prepared to realize them in your own home.
According to the designer, impulse buys can be another major pitfall of interior design.
She explains that clutter from mugs, furniture, and discount finds gathered during trips often ends up misplacing the room’s tone. While a moment of liking something is natural, it’s worth considering whether that item truly belongs in the planned space, rather than simply enjoying it at a store or a showroom.
Kuznetsova emphasizes developing a personal rhythm for life when planning a future residence.
It is essential to choose interior finishes and color schemes that feel harmonious with daily routines. If meals outside the home are frequent, the importance of a large kitchen or ample storage should be weighed against how often stacking and organization truly matter to the household. The goal is functional comfort that aligns with real habits rather than chasing trends.
Previously socialbites.ca discussed practical questions that arise when there are multiple cooks in the kitchen, underscoring the need for thoughtful layout decisions that serve everyday use and long-term satisfaction.
