Decorating Tips For Architects

With so much focus on designing a property, many architects struggle when it comes to decorating a home. What you fill a home with is as important as the building itself, so it is important to take your time to find a decorative style that you like. It can be daunting at first because there is so much variety to consider, but there are a few key decoration tips which any architect will find handy the next time that they are decorating a home. Follow these tips to make the interior of the house as beautiful, welcoming, and stylish as the building itself.

Keep It Simple

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to interior design is trying to do too much. Less is better when it comes to interior design as each room should be spacious and tidy so that you can walk around with ease. This means that you should know what each room of the house is for and avoid placing too many items in any room.

Go Bold In Mundane Places

Areas like hallways and pantries are usually overlooked when it comes to interior design, but they are great places for being bold in terms of decoration. The main rooms are usually kept relatively neutral so it can be exciting and interesting to go for a striking, bold color to make every area of the home more interesting.

Never Overlook Small Features

When decorating a room, people will usually think about the wall color, floor, decoration, and lighting. While these are all important areas to consider, you should not overlook the small features which can make or break a room. Radiators, for example, can take up a fair amount of wall space but are usually ignored. Places like warmrooms.co.uk carry a range of stylish radiators which can work well in any room and with any decorative theme. Light switches and sockets are other essential features that need attention.

Use Light Effectively

As mentioned, light is a feature which must be considered in every home. Maximizing natural light is vital for illuminating the space as well as the various health benefits. However, you must also consider the artificial lighting and not shy away from experimenting with different styles as this can set the tone in any room.

Invest In Quality

When it comes to your home, it is crucial that you are purchasing quality items, particularly when it comes to features like sofas, chair, beds, etc. This can be expensive, so a good way to manage this is to purchase one piece of furniture/decoration each year so that you can gradually replace cheaper items.

Home decoration is a real skill and one which can take time to develop even for an architect. Keep the above in mind when decorating a home, and you should start to notice a difference and have rooms which are practical, stylish, and welcoming. It can be a long process, but with careful thought and knowledge interior design can be straightforward.
