Things To Consider When Redesigning Your Home
There is nothing more rewarding than presenting a client with their completed home and seeing absolute joy in the results. At the end of the day, having a timeless, beautiful and functional home is the goal.
If you are looking to design your home,
let us help make the process easier
with these important factors to consider:
1. Your Vision
Let’s start at the core, the main reason you’re designing your home - your vision.
What are you looking to achieve? Aside from appearance, think about what feelings you want to create with your new dream home. Considering your vision will impact the entire design process from the large changes down to the small details. Focusing on your vision will help you better understand the story of your home and the atmosphere you want to create.
2. Form A Plan Of Action
Once you have your vision down, forming a plan of action is essential in creating your reimagined home. Deciding to design your home is one thing, but determining how you can do it is another. This step takes courage and commitment and involves research, budgeting, gathering resources, and consulting with an interior designer if you need help. Remember, just because you like how materials look on the shelf, it will not guarantee positive results - sampling different materials is essential in strengthening your design plan. Consulting with an interior designer to overlook your plan or take a bigger role in your design process is also a great way to lessen the stress that comes with planning. Ultimately, we want you to be thrilled when you sit in your living room and feel your best in your home.
3. Space & Light
Space and light are extremely important to consider when transforming your home. These two design elements will have a major impact on your home’s appearance, atmosphere and function. Less is always more when it comes to interior design - designing a room with bulky furniture or over-accessorizing can make the space look and feel cramped. Steering away from this direction can include freeing space in certain rooms in your home with an open layout, choosing minimalist themes, displaying decor in corners of the room, and avoiding placing your furniture against windows. This will allow natural light to flood your interior for a bright and spacious feel. All that’s left to do is enjoy the airy and peaceful haven you’ve created.
4. Color Schemes
Now that you have a good idea of your plan, layout, and style - it’s time to choose a color scheme. Color is so personal and creates moods within us that inspire. A successful color scheme typically includes a mix of three colors or shades. One main color for walls, another color for larger accents such as sofas and chairs, and then a third color that pops in smaller details such as flowers, pillows, and decor. The right color scheme will form an overall theme for your home, add value to your interior and positively affect the overall mood.
For example, zestful base colors of yellow, tangerine, or green will render a refreshing, energizing, and cheerful ambiance - while relaxing colors, such as soft greys and blues, can create a serene,
sanctuary-like feel in any room.
Enjoy coloring your vision to life!
5. Design For Experience Not Just Functionality
The goal is to create a home that is not only focused on functionality of design but also the experience that comes along with it. For example, a soft tonal texture may support your aesthetic but it can also promote a calming atmosphere.
Thoughtful designs have the potential to positively impact the feel and mood of a room.
When you consider these important design concepts, there’s boundless potential for your new home. Remember to always have fun with the design process and discovering your home’s true potential!
