Smart Tips For Interior Design

When you’re working to design the inside of your home or office, you want to keep efficiency in mind alongside aesthetic. Of course, you want the place to look great, but you want the place to work great too.

Before jumping right into the task of design, take some time to do a little light research. Here is a brief compilation of a few smart tips to enhance your plans to redesign your favorite spaces.

Working the windows in a room

The way you choose to treat the windows in a space will make a big difference in how the room feels. Choose window treatments that mesh with your planned design. For example, adding louvres to your windows in an industrial-style setting is a great way to tie the shades into the rest of the aesthetic.

If you have a small space, hang tall curtains higher than the windows to make the room seem larger. Floor to ceiling curtains will instantly upgrade a small space and make it feel more elegant and inviting.

Color choices make a huge impact

You probably already know that the colors you choose as you work your interior design will make all the difference in the vibe of the space. Gray and navy blue are excellent base colors in modern design.

If you want to create elegance and order, a crisp white backdrop will set the proper stage. Take care in choosing the colors for your walls, floors, and ceilings as you work your way through your spaces.

Use all of the space for design

The square footage you have in a space isn’t the only palate you have for your design. Use all of the space to craft the vibe you’re looking to achieve.

Hang shelves on the walls for vertical storage. Use built-in bench seating for comfort and for storage. Get crafty with all of the square footage in a space, whether it’s under your feet or above your head.

Give your furniture breathing room

When you place the furniture in your space, you should do your best to give every piece the space it needs to be efficient within the design.

Giving your furniture room to breathe does more than create space. The space creates limited room for critters and pests to set up shop in the tight spaces between furniture and the wall.

Hang your artwork with care

Simply having something hung on the wall isn’t always the best way to make the most of your artwork. There is a “right” way to hang art on the wall. Don’t hang pictures too high. Hanging them around two feet from the floor is ideal. You want the placement to make the artwork an intricate part of the viewing space in your rooms.
