5 Interior Design Tips to Help Plan for your Home

13th March 2018 by Candace 1 Comment

[AD] For many people, interior design purchases are quite a big decision. You need to keep the items’ longevity as well as price point in mind. If you buy the wrong things, it may even make your life miserable afterwards, as you’ll be stuck with something that not only burdened your pocket but you didn’t want it in the first place.  So just how can one be sure what of what they want for their interior decoration needs. Use the following tips and you’ll be sure to pat yourself on the back afterwards.

Find Your Calling and Organise

It’s certainly a bright idea for you to find something that inspires you so that you don’t get buyer’s remorse after you undertake your interior design decision. Not everyone has similar tastes and maybe you have a little something extra in mind.  Pick out your preferences and enlist the help of professionals to help you with your decision.  But it is important that you do have some idea in mind of what you want your interior design to be like, in order to maximise the benefits from the help of stylisation professionals. Start a pin board of your own and get creative by organizing it before you seek professional advice.

Measurements Matter

You don’t want to end up spending a sizable amount on indoor furniture, only to be stuck with it because there’s just not enough space as you’d imagined. If you have the measurements at hand because you were vigilant, you can easily cross items of furniture out that won’t fit, thereby making it easier for you to narrow down choices.  For instance, if you saw those gorgeous French chairs for the study from Christophe Living that would be perfect, but you didn’t plan ahead with taking the measurements. You bought those chairs only to realize that they were too big for your study. Had you measured how big the room was and if the chairs were of the appropriate size, you would have selected something more style and space appropriate for your study.

Try to Save Where you can Afford to

You may be on a budget that requires you to make tough calls. Even if you have remodelling in mind or just need to dispose of the old furniture, try to find cost effective and reliable solutions to put you at ease.  One of the costs is that of clean-up of rubble and debris. Be sure to engage the services of waste removal companies to easily get rid of old furniture to make way for the new.

Colour Considerations

It can be difficult to figure out what colour goes best with your interior design choices. Even lighting has an effect on colour to make it appear a particular shade. So be careful and always ask for samples you can take home to see what will go well with your interior. If you can’t do that, which is unlikely, you can always look at the reviews for your furniture of that particular colour.  Plants can also be a great contributor to balancing or contrasting colours and it is also important to get use those in seasonal bloom. Companies like Plantman allow you to rent plants that are seasonally consistent and match your colour pallette, plus provide some life to the setting.

Prioritise

Last but definitely not least, prioritize your purchases well. Get done with furniture and then move on to the accessories. A room without accessories may do, but a room without furniture won’t. Prioritising and planning purchases will additionally help you stick to your budget by leaving out unnecessary purchases.

    I agree that measurements matter, we bought a new fridge freezer and it wouldn’t fit through the kitchen door. We ended up having to bring it in through the side door.
