House Interior Design Styles And Design Tips
When designers are planning a new house interior design project, they follow a very specific sequence:
1 They examine and change, if necessary, the structure.
2 They plan the arrangement of the furniture.
3 They plan the lighting.
4 They select the scheme.
The order of these stages is quite specific, each operation logically following on from the completion of the previous one. For example, it is not possible to arrange the positioning of light fittings before you have planned where the furniture is going to be sited and it would be quite illogical to choose upholstery textiles when you are not sure how many seats your room will accommodate.
There are many reasons why you might want to change the structure of your house in some way:
New room use. You may wish to convert an existing guest bedroom to a dressing room.
Change of lifestyle. Perhaps your new job requires you to entertain a lot at home, so you decide to join up a sitting room and a study to make a new spacious dining room.
Additions to the household. A new baby is expected, so you determine to build an extension to accommodate a playroom.
Proportions need correction. Would the removal of a picture rail improve the division of space within your drawing room?
You wish to give character. The addition of a cornice may make your dining room more interesting.
Natural light is insufficient. By enlarging a window you might make a dark corridor more inviting.
The problem may require major surgery or could possibly be solved by doing something as simple as re-hanging a door on the opposite axis.
When planning your house interior design, before deciding upon individual room treatments, it is a good idea to make sure that you have the rooms you need, that they are of the right size and that they are in the right place. A sketch (roughly to scale) of a floor plan for each floor together with the overall measurements of each room should help to throw up any fundamental problems - such as the dining room being too remote from the kitchen or there being too little space for a decent-sized living room for the family.
It might also suggest some solutions - like how a small bedroom might be joined to an adjacent larger bedroom to form an en-suite bathroom. Once you have allocated each room to its purpose, it is time to deal with the rooms individually.
