6 Easy Design Tips That Will Make You Look Like A Pro

Do you want to decorate your new home’s interiors like a professional designer but don’t have the cash?

Our easy-to-follow design tips will transform your home into something extraordinary, just like a pro!

1.  Leave the Paint Color as the last Priority:

When you’re selecting your paint colors, you’re basing it on the modern furniture design and style, rug, artwork, upholstery, etc. So unless you’ve purchased these items already and waiting for them to be delivered, do not start painting your interiors.

The logic is quite understandable. You want to move into your new pad with a fresh coat of paint already applied. However what looks good at the paint shop won’t necessarily look good in your space, nor will it suit the décor. So wait to get your stuff first and then pick the paint color.

2.  Leave Space between Furniture Pieces:

It’s very easy to get tempted by the latest contemporary furniture designs, but if they crowd your space, then you’ve destroyed the look you’re going for. To create a gracious living space, you need to be able to maneuver around with ease. So resist the urge of shopping for too much furniture and overcrowding the space. Select a few quality pieces of modern or contemporary furniture styles. By doing so, all of your furniture pieces will have a chance to shine. 

3.  Display Artwork at the Correct Height:

Consider hanging your treasured art pieces the way a museum or art gallery does, at the midline or between 57 and 60 inches from the bottom.  If your walls are high, avoid hanging your artwork too high. Stick to human scale NOT structure scale.

4.  Arrange Furniture on the Rug:

There are three ways of correctly arranging furniture on your showpiece rug. These are:

All On- Your rug is so large that you can place all your furniture on it and still have a minimum of 12 inches of room on all sides of the border. This creates a very luxurious feel.

All Off- If the floor space in your room is small, keep all the furniture of the rug. Place the rug in such a manner that it appears as if it could touch the legs of your furniture.

Front On- In this arrangement, only place the front feet of your modern sofa, modern chairs, side table, etc. This helps to create a visually defined and open space.


5.  Work Around a Focal Point:

Pick an element in the room that naturally draws your attention. It could be an artwork, bedroom headboard or even a stunning steel hood in your kitchen. Create your furniture placement around it. For example, if a stunning mantel is your focal point, arrange your seating so that when guests sit down, that’s the first thing they notice.

6.  Install Layers of Lighting:

Professional designers like to build layers of light. This creates intrigue, variety, and interest. If a room is evenly lit, nothing will stand out. Choosing a primary and secondary focal point, and highlight those with accent lights. Then select ambient lighting for the entire space and lower levels of lighting such as a table lamp.
