Are All Interior Designers Direct Descendants of Satan?

  
   Not every designer is a ruthless son of a bitch who lives to add needless drama and pure professional incompetence to your life. The trick is in finding a good one who will do what you want for an agreeable price. Here are a few of my best tips:


1. Ask your most respected sources (like your AV dealer, architect, etc.) for referrals for top designers.
Pick a style that you like (modern, mission, country chic, etc. …) and be clear about what you want. When interviewing a designer, beware of the “I can do that style” line when they don’t have at least one project they have photographed or can show you on a walking tour.

 2. Interview no less than three clients who have completed projects with the designer. Ask them what the upsides and the downsides of the designer are. Designers tend to be highly creative, which is good, but it is important to know what their weaknesses are before you make a significant commitment with them.

3. Check the support staff of the design firm. Chances are, your dealer has someone who can do CAD (computer assisted drawings), but can your interior designer? Some designer couldn’t. They wanted to draw on paper, which really looked pretty, but in the end cost you a money in mistakes, some of which could not be fixed. For simple design space was sketches acceptable.For whole house? You better not.

 4. Most importantly, test the designer to see if he or she is listening to you. Many designers want to talk over you and then just do whatever they want, thinking that you will deem it fabulous when they are done, additionally parting with thousands of extra dollars to boot.


5. Beware of any sub who repeatedly tells you how busy he or she is. Ask why the designer is meeting with you if he or she is “too busy” to take on your project. Remind the designer you aren’t too busy to meet or talk with him or her. If the designer makes a big deal out of how “slammed” he or she is, find someone who is hungry. Someone who really wants the gig will assuredly do a better job than an entitled fat cat designer.

 Conclusion
Not all designers are Antichrists. You will need to work with them even if you don’t like them as friends. You have to understand that they work at your convenience. Accept no drama – ever. The longer you wait for a cancerous situation to cure itself, the more money it will cost you in the end.

Negotiate yourself a good deal and get excited about what bringing a creative force in can do for the enjoyment of your room. With proper Time Saver (Method used in proper furniture arrangements), ultra-comfortable room seating and a beautiful overall design, your interior can be a selling point that makes your house more valuable.

Why Choose Natural Interior Design?

When one thinks about the interiors, colors and the measurements, it’s best to keep in mind the beauty of nature, natural colors, sandy structures or stone figures. Interior design, when blended with nature, becomes a true inspiration. It’s amazing how beautiful it can become when there are factors such as floral ornaments, color of sand or drawing of rinds impacting your overall design.

A lot of modern interior design trends are implementing methods from history. Even though there’s a big change happening in interior design as it gradually evolves, many things are still the same, whether it’s home decor or fashion. One of those critical elements is the use of ornaments and color, which are an inspiration from nature.

Natural Colors Bring Out the Best of the Moods

Natural colors have been used in interior design for many years, as they give good results for both classic interiors, as well as modern ones. Bright, delicate, pastel colors in neutral forms of white are in high demand. For example, the color of wood, sand and similar colors, are widely used. Interiors having the color of white, ground, delicate grays, greens or violets tend to give a fresh look and bring out the harmony. Neutral colors present the room in a nice, yet sophisticated manner.

In order to give the interior a more dynamic feel, all you need to do is concentrate on factors like matching the natural beige with rough wood and adding some fresh citrus accessories. This on the whole creates a harmonious climate. Let’s take this example into consideration – matching simple furniture in light materials, geometric shapes, organic elements, flowers, ordered interiors and various decorative accessories such as wicker pots and vases, create a relaxing ambience and add a feel good factor to the interior. Also, contrasting each of the elements helps in making a comfortable, elegant and timeless interior.

The True Expression of Light

What does light do? It gives the interior a seamless flow of fresh air, brings out the positive aspects of the rooms, vividly shows the architecture solutions, and it does everything by being an almost invisible decorating element. Light seamlessly and optically can close the room or open it. It can also make the interior cold (with white or blue color) or warm it up (with the use of yellow color), depending on the style of the interior or the time of the day.

If you seek to be closer to nature, you should be choosing a soft cream light and contrast it with a highly bright light. This will not only add to the room’s comfort level but will also bring in more harmony. Geometric lampshades, modern glass frames, and crystal bowls give the interiors a warm and beautiful look.
Interior designing is art in the truest sense of word, by bringing in natural elements; we are simply redefining how nature can help us enhance our environment.

Be natural! Be Sustainable!

To clean the rug you can either shake off the dirt or, for a spill, just wipe it clean and you’re done! Bamboo rugs are also great for people who have allergies because they are hypoallergenic.
