Advice from a professional designer

 

Thinking about enhancing your home can be a daunting experience and it can be too easy to make expensive mistakes.

Before rushing off to the stores, try to focus your ideas about what you want. "Less is more" is true in many cases and you need to be selective in your choice of colours and textures. Aim for a palette of both which compliment each other. 

Your home also needs to reflect you and the way you live so go for what appeals to you and not just what would look good in a magazine.

Your home is as individual as you are so be creative and have fun!

 

  Interior design advice from the expert

Consider the following...

1.                 A room is affected by orientation and light.   Not all paint colours suit all rooms.  After purchasing your tester pots, paint the colour onto a piece of white card to get a true colour representation.  Then affix to the wall and leave for a couple of days.   Look at it during different times of the day, you’d be amazed what may look good in the morning can seem lifeless in the afternoon.   

2.                When updating or changing any room, consider, in detail, what furniture is going to go into the room, the purpose of the room and how much “stuff” there is to house.  Consider everything at the outset, you can never do too much planning and the results of careful planning always show in the end result.

3.               Bedrooms should be tranquil places and this is achieved by getting the storage and colour scheme right.  Luxurious materials and understated luxury combine to make your private space feel beautiful and special.   It is no good having one standalone wardrobe (even if it is fabulous!)  if you have enough clothes and shoes to fill three.  

4.               Always consider lighting carefully and, where possible,  try to include a mixture of task,  overhead and ambience lighting.  The more choices of lighting that are included the easier it is to change the function and ambience of a room.   

5.                  Consider the style and colour of the entrance to your home and in particular the hallway once through the door.   The hallway sets the scene for the rest of your house and although it may be small it does not have to be less interesting nor welcoming.

6.        If you get stuck, give us a call, we'll be pleased to help.
