Interior Design Tips on Home Decoration

There have been a lot of articles written about interior design and how you should do it. But, in order for all of these guidelines to work, you need to be aware of the most important tips.

To start your task of decorating, there are several things that you need to avoid. These are common mistakes that a lot of inexperienced interior decorators commit. And so, you have to make sure that you do not commit them.

First of all, do not invest too much in home furniture. This is most especially if you cannot afford to have them. You should live by your means. And by buying cheap or reasonably priced furniture, you will be able to change your home furnishings from time to time.

The sofa is one of the most expensive furniture that you will get. To be safe, choose a sofa that has a material and color that will match any home design. If not, you should decide on a theme and a style before you choose a sofa for your living room.

Curtains are also an important part of your house. Take note that they take up a significant space. Also, they take up a lot of attention from family members and visitors that see them. Stick to neutral colored curtains if you do not want to attract a lot of attention to them. This is the normal situation that you want to have. You do not want your curtains to figuratively overshadow other furnishings inside your house.

A well lit room is an inviting room. Who wants to live in a dark house? No one normal person would. And so, you have to ensure that your house has enough lights. Instead of installing yellow bulbs, you should switch to energy efficient fluorescent lights that provide you with the illumination that you need. Aside from the main lights, also invest in recessed lights that are installed on your walls to accent corners and avoid having dark spaces around your property.

You can add color via the small accessories that you have. From the flower vase to the center pieces that you have, you can make sure that they balance out the dull colors that are present in your home. You may likewise have colorful throw pillows to add a little more life to your living room. It can also be used to create lines and patterns.

The art pieces that you will hang around your house should be regulated. Avoid placing a frame on every free wall. Keep yourself from hanging every other piece around your house. Instead, assign a storage space for these items. In the future, this will give you the option to change the way your house looks. Exchange the pieces that are already displayed with those that were kept in*storage.

Most importantly, choose the color wisely. You can go for the traditional wall colors. And then, you can add accessories that are colorful. But, if you have chosen a colorful paint for your wall or floor, consider having dull colored furnishings.

Home Interiors - Clients Guide No1 - Interior Designer / Interior Decorator - What's the Difference?

"Do you do Curtains & Cushions?" As a professional Interior Designer that's the phone call we dread to receive!
It happens more than you may think; I then have to go on to explain (without sounding patronising) what this person really needs is an Interior Decorator, this will then no doubt follow-on with me having to further explain what the differences are between the two disciplines and try to steer them in an appropriate direction.
I don't blame these people for getting the two mixed up; the general public have been feed hours and hour of TV "instant" make-over programmes and continuous glossy magazine features all under the misleading label of Interior Design. Also this has prompted those in the Interior Decoration and Soft Furnishing business to elevate their tile to Interior Designers; again I don't blame them for doing this, it makes good business sense to up sell yourself. But the lines have become blurred as to what these two very different services offer - there is a market for the two approaches, but where confusion resides with the customer this has to be a bad thing!
So here with this Home Interiors - Client's Guide - series of articles I will address the key aspects for client's that have a Interior Design project in mind as to how they should go about searching for a Designer, what to look for, how they work and charge, how to get the best out of them and how a project gets off the ground to become a finished built reality.
ABOUT HOME INTERIOR DESIGN
Home Interior Design is not to be confused with Home Interior Decoration, as this tends to be only a skin-deep treatment to give a style change or "make-over" to a property. Home/Residential/Domestic Interior Design (whatever one may call it) is a much more fundamental approach to the way you live in a property and how a building can be made to work for the individual owners needs. This will not be just a coat of paint (some new curtains and cushions) it is likely to start with a in-depth rethink at how the property is planned and may involve some considerable changes put in place before one even thinks of decorations.

Interior Designers who specialize in Home Design can be viewed as Interior Architects, and their abilities should cover all aspects of building and architectural work to a property included minor/major structural alterations and building extensions etc. They will go on to cover all the "decoration" elements such as colours, finishes and furnishings, but this is not necessarily the starting point for a project. Kitchens, Bathrooms, Staircases etc are some of the core planning elements that can structurally and technically change a buildings layout; the flow and shape of a property can change dramatically when approaching these areas.
All the technical services that make up an Interior Design project will be undertaken by the Designer; Electrics, Lighting, Plumbing, Heating and Ventilation etc, all are fundamental that need to be design-in at the early stages of a scheme, even if it is just the principles of how these may work. It is becoming even more important these days with the opportunity for client to add-in to their project energy efficiency solutions for the whole building.
Many Clients only have a very basic idea or framework of what they wish from a project; it is however the Designers role to gain that information and drawer out of the Client the full details of their requirements, this then forming the project brief. This can be a very personal experience with the Designer asking questions on how you live now and changes you wish to make to your life style. Be as open as you can as this forms an important foundation for any new design, remember that the Designer is designing for you and not for them, so they need to know how YOU tick!
For most Clients they really enjoy this consultation, as this may be the first time that they have truly thought about their life style and what they really need from the project, apart from a floor, walls and ceiling. A good Designer will have the talents of a "pick pocket", you will not know that so much information has been taken from you until you see the first concept design, and then you will realise that the smallest details have been included that reflects you and your life style.
HOW DO YOU FIND A GOOD DESIGNER
Personal recommendations are always good, but remember, the Designer has designed for the person who gave you the recommendation, so even if their project is not to your taste this does not necessarily mean that the Designer cannot design to your taste. If they were satisfied that the Designer produced a sound creative solution that matched their brief, then this Designer would more than likely be able to satisfy your project requirements.
Web Sites are a good way of looking at a Designers portfolio of work without making direct contact. Use the search engines and directories to track Designers that are within the broad area to where you live. It is no good having a Designer from Scotland if you live in London, and vice a verse, so aim relatively local of around a 50 mile search radius! Also be aware of companies that call themselves Interior Designers, but are really Home Furnishing companies and they are only really interested in selling from their shop or showroom. Offers of "free design service" will always have a sales agenda behind it. A true Design Consultant will be totally independent of any affiliated retail business and will use the global market to source what is right for your project, no commission or incentives involved.
Professional Bodies such as The Chartered Society of Designers have registers of designers in your area and can be contacted for a list. They also have a web site at you could visit. The Chartered Society of Designers is a body that vets individual designers to make sure they meet a professional standard, it starts with a student quantification "Diploma Member" and then "Member" (MCSD), and the highest level is "Fellow" (FCSD) and you should look for these qualifications or similar from your Designer.
I hope this has given you an insight into the world of Home Interior Design and if you are considering employing a designer is of help as to how to start to make a selection. Part of that selection process will be that first (no obligation) meeting with them; what can you expect to come out of this? Look out for the next article in this series by Chris Page.
