DIY 101: 3 Elements in Interior Design

If you’re going the DIY route but wants professional-looking results when putting enhancements in your interior decor, we share to you the three principles of interior design.

Effective interior design not only breathes with functionality but also creates a mood showing off the personality of the family living in there. Ensuring decorating success means having the interplay of function, mood, and personality in your interior design.

Function
More than just eye appeal, decorating and adding pieces to a room has to work for you and the family. Here’s how to put it together one element to another:
  • Focal point – every design should have this, which is a piece or place that first attracts the eyes.
  • Furniture – place furniture in their most functional places; if it’s too large or too small, take it somewhere in the house where it can function as it is.
  • Lighting – is selected to for its functions as well as for visual appeal.
  • Furniture arrangement – make a graph of your room, and measure and mark outlets, windows, doors, vents, etc. Then measure your furniture and place it in your floor plan. Main furniture pieces should be directed towards the focal point.

Mood
Colours, furnishings style, and the amount of pattern and texture you use and your accessories – these create the feeling of a room. Because there are so many options to try, you can make this part of decorating more interesting and fun by establishing a theme. Here are the factors to address when setting a room’s mood:

  • Inspiration piece – be sure it makes you feel good when you see it in the room
  • Theme – developed from your inspiration
  • Color cues – supports the theme
  • Patterns – background colour should be the same, patterns are in same colours, vary scale/sizes of patterns

Personality
Here’s the part where you can install personal touches into the design. Make your personality stand out in your interior decor using these strategies: accessorizing, whimsy, and the unexpected.
