10 Key Elements to Home Interior Design
From Basics to Essentials in Design
There are basic rules to design: Wall color, Flooring, Decor and Design, but there are many more aspects included to expand on those areas. You want to have balance in your space. Scale is very important, as far as lamps, decor and artwork goes. You want to choose a style for your home, mixing design does not always work, so choosing a theme and flow that looks best to you is important. It is all in the deets! Details make your space unique and help your room have a “finished” look. The main interior design rule is, The Rule of Thirds. This states that visually, you want your scale in 3’s. That could be color, furniture, decor, etc.
Keeping that in mind, I have put a list together of the 10 main rules that I like to follow:
Accent Color-a bold color in a smaller amount ie: bottom cabinets, kitchen island, powder room
Rug-rugs on hardwood or tile, under a sofa or dining table
New Hardware-an easy way to spruce up cabinetry in kitchen or bathroom
Neutral Paint-choosing a color or multiple rooms for flow and unity
Lighting-cohesive lighting that mixes and matches well together
Accessories: Lamps, pillows, decor, or plants
Art Work and Mirrors- pay attention to scale and that it goes with your theme/design
Wallpaper-lovely addition to any space ie: dining rooms, library, powder room, ceilings
New flooring or flooring refresh-Fresh stain on hardwoods or replacing flooring
Drapes/Window Covering- My Number 1 suggestion to finish a space and bring everything together
