In life, we spend hours on end working to create a balance that satisfies our inner peace. At Room Edit, we believe the same can be applied with design and physical space where you live. To get started in creating this balanced home environment for your own mind’s sake it is important to first organize what needs organizing–a tidy living room will help clear up any mental clutter and give ample breathing space for creativity!
Interior design isn’t just about what colour to paint the walls, or what materials work best together. It’s also about size and scale – proportion is key! When designing your home, it’s crucial that you consider how each item fits into the space as well as existing architectural features like ceiling height so everything feels cohesive. Less is more when it comes to outfitting a room with furnishings, so be selective but use larger pieces of furniture for an attractive look!
The key to a cohesive, well-balanced home is finding the common thread that ties each room together. One overarching style will help you create seamless transitions between your rooms and make them all stand out for their remarkable flow. Whatever fundamental textures or colours guide one room should be present in other parts of your space so as not to take away from any singular area’s story–instead, this layering creates a sense of depth throughout an entire environment which can tell many stories at once while still maintaining cohesion across its walls.
Be thoughtful when choosing your pieces. “The devil is in the details” and you should spend time fine-tuning small things for a big impact, as these are the objects that can be used to tell a story. Less of everything is more, and no rule dictates there are items indispensable to crafting an eye-catching design. Spend some time considering how pieces mesh together to make sure they work well with one another!
Your home is your space, and it should be a reflection of who you are. When decorating for the future, we recommend staying clear of trends that will come and go with time – instead invest in timeless pieces to create an interior design that evolves seamlessly through transitions without requiring major remodelling or changes over time. For those looking to inject some modernity into their interiors while still maintaining a classic style, use trendier pieces as accents by adding throw pillows or blankets throughout the room – rather than committing completely- which can make all the difference!
Wonderful neutrals are anything but boring and will instantly spruce up your interior with their sophisticated hues. Experiment by layering different textures, patterns, and materials to create an easy-going neutral palette that can be easily harmonized into any environment. They will bring a sense of peace and balance and ease your mindset.
