Drew and Jonathan Scott, the beloved stars of the HGTV series Property Brothers, are offering valuable advice to homeowners on how to create high-end, functional spaces. With their expertise and charisma, they’re helping viewers achieve their dream homes.
5 Homeowners Aren’t Personalizing Their Spaces Enough
According to the Property Brothers, homeowners often lack the inspiration to personalize their spaces. To overcome this, they suggest gathering ideas while traveling and incorporating unique elements into the design.
- Bring back treasures from trips, such as art or knick-knacks, to add character to the space.
- Use sheer curtains, pale wicker chairs, and Sisal area rugs to create a beachy vibe.
Drew and Jonathan find inspiration all over the world, from hotels to restaurants, and are always on the lookout for new technologies and design trends.
4 Outsized Or Undersized Furnishings Are Design Mistakes
The Property Brothers believe that furniture should fit the scale of the room. Oversized furniture can overwhelm smaller spaces, while compact furniture can look out of place in larger rooms.
| Furniture Size | Room Size |
|---|---|
| Oversized Furniture | Smaller Rooms |
| Compact Furniture | Larger Rooms |
Drew and Jonathan recommend choosing furniture that is in scale with the room to achieve a designer look.
3 Choosing Expensive Items That Aren’t Classic Enough
The Property Brothers suggest going for traditional style when spending a lot of money on big-ticket items. This makes sense, as classic designs tend to hold their appeal over time and are often more timeless.
For example, a kitchen with a lot of flashy design elements can look tacky. By choosing simpler, more classic designs, the space can look more pleasing to the eye.
2 Avoiding The Use Of Color
Drew and Jonathan think that people shouldn’t avoid using color when decorating their homes. In fact, color can add warmth and personality to a space.
While white, cream, and taupe can be modern and minimalist, they can also give rooms a chilly feel. Adding color can make a space feel more livable and inviting.
