Considerations:
- The number of people that will use the space regularly, and the number if you like to entertain and have guests over.
- Layout and seating arrangement.
- Size and scale of furniture based on ceiling height and maintain easy movement in the space. Should consider conversation areas.
- Plan a layout before furniture shopping: how many people will be regularly using the space? This will avoid expensive mistakes.
- Wall colour: this should reflect how you want to feel in the space. This is a subjective decision and is down to personal taste.
- Divisions
- Texture: textural features make a room feel more cohesive and adds warmth.
- Consider the scale of your furniture choices
- Artwork: Base this on the ambience you want to achieve, the architectural features of the room, ceiling height and lighting.
- Metallics to add luxury
- Mix and match with colours that compliment one another. Contrasting colours.
- Accent walls and colour:
- Bring special features to life with a coat of paint
- Subtle murals to add depth and definition
- Brighten up dark living rooms with green tones
- Layering natural tones creates calming interiors
- Accessorising adds character and style
- Flooring: sets the scene, and should be a starting point.
- Rugs: to add cosiness and comfort. To define and divide an open living space.
- Hanging pendants in less conventional areas in your home adds interest and fun to your space.
- A stand-out piece of furniture or fabric to create a focal point
- Thoughtful storage solutions based on your needs and functionality of the room. EG, a bay window for storage and seating
- Take the age and special arch features of your home into consideration for a more timeless, balanced design
- Symmetry: for a balanced, calm, and proportioned space
