Interior Styling Unmasked
Where do you start?
Having designed your new home or renovations the next step is to make the right choices of color, texture and design. Selecting your finishes prior to building commencement will provide clear guidelines for the builder, permit greater accuracy of quotations, accelerate the building process, and ensure time labor and cost effectiveness of tradesmen.
Choose your profile selections. Determine the style of the plans eg: contemporary, traditional, country etc.
The next thing to consider are the shapes used in the design - round, arch, square, rectangle or angled. It may be the shapes are contrasting, i.e. utilizing both rounded and squared shapes. Whatever the style and design, stay consistent to the plan with your further profile selections for the remainder of the home eg; gutters, front door, facade materials, bathroom tiles, PC items, kitchen bench tops and cupboard profiles. The use of contrasting shapes to feature areas only accentuate feature areas and should be used minimally within the home.
Select practical applications. Determine your lifestyle requirements to the purpose of each individual room so furniture layout, flooring, lighting, electrical needs, easy cleaning and low maintenance replicate your needs. This will bring functionality and maximum enjoyment from your home.
Choose your ambiance. Determine the ambiance you want e.g., relaxing/harmonious, uplifting/friendly, opulent/rich, or romantic/luring. Next choose the tonal values and color scheme that relates to your choice of ambiance eg: related, mono chromatic, contrasting or triadic color schemes, primary, secondary, or tertiary colors. See our Picking colors for your home article. Also keep in mind that textures to walls, soft furnishings and lighting are all equally important when considering ambiance.
