Interior Design That Works Best For You

A home should tell the story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.

Interior designers make interior spaces functional, safe, and beautiful by determining space requirements and selecting decorative items such as colors, lighting, and the materials that you use.

To hire an interior designer means one needs to shell out a lot of money. But for some of us, we want to make our own design decision, using our own individual style and forms, color combinations, and many more small changes that send out a good vibe.

Let's look at the types of Interior Designs-

The types of interiors design are Traditional, Modern, Contemporary, Transitional, Mid-Century Modern Design style, Industrial Interior Design, Scandinavian Interior Design, Minimalist Interior Design, Vintage Decor Style.

One can also opt for Minimalistic Interior Design, having a minimalist design means keeping its space simple and having attractive architectural features, and for minimalist interior design use an accent color.


Sharon Blaustein, who is a principal designer at B Interior LLC says, "I think minimalism and functionality go hand in hand. A minimalist-designed space incorporates an open floor plan, lots of light, and simple line furnishings that are well built and comfortable. All these create a soothing and inviting space that has a timeless aesthetic." 

But one can always come in their own way of designing and color coordinating and making patterns for their house. Let's look into the prerequisite that is needed for making our own interior design. One needs to have drawing tools for sketching a room. A pencil, ruler, compass, protractor, and graph paper. One can use applications like Pinterest, Instagram for a preview of interior pictures, or designs that will match your interest.


That's My Spot:

If one cannot hire an interior design, he or she can do it yourself. One needs to draw their own room on plain paper and then decide which wall or corner you want to change.

If you want to do a redo for your corner then look for what you want to add or want to remove. If you choose a corner of your room one can place a huge seating chair that has a light and place a lamp on one side. One can even place an artificial plant with a gold pot which would work wonders if you have a light color wall. Old frames can be replaced with new frames, one can download the post from Pinterest and replace them in the old frames.  

Seating By The Window:

If not a chair then a seating arrangement can be done by using a mattress and this can be covered with a few floral or plain sheets thus making color coordination with your furniture and few cushions.

One can repaint their old furniture by using bright colors or can have a small table where one can keep their belongings. This corner can also be close to the window because in this corner one can enjoy having a cup of coffee. This can be done very easily by placing a small mattress that is available at your home and a few other accessories which you feel like adding. 

Make Your Room Look Bigger:

If your room is small and you want it to look bigger than use a light color for the wall it can help your room look bigger, as light and bright walls are more reflective, making space feel open and airy which helps to maximize the effect created by natural light.

Dark colors on the other hand tend to absorb light, making a room look smaller. One can try the color combination done by Home Art & More, they have given nice combinations and wall painting colors idea.

Mirrors On The Wall

One can have mirrors in their home, be it the living room, dining area, or bedroom. Having a mirror near the dining area would be a great place, but if you place then make sure that you hang it a little higher on the wall so that the guests don't see themselves while they are eating their food.

One can even place a mirror at the front doors because the reflection of a mirror reflects energy back. One can even use mirrors in a room which can make your room look larger. Mirrors reflect both natural and artificial light to make a room brighter during the day and night. 

Kids Room:

A kid's room has to be different from all the other rooms, like having some pictures of fruits or animals or any favorite characters that they love. So a child's room must have everything under one roof right from their toys rack to the study desk.

Having a neutral color on their wall will be good which will act as a canvas for them so that they can keep on changing their objects hanging on the wall and many other decorative objects.

One can have beautiful quotes or artwork of animals that will brighten up the room.  Above is the video where you will get the idea of how to design a kid's room which has all the necessary stuff that a kid needs.


So these are few ideas that will light your room with minimal changes here and there or by adding few objects in the room.
