Interior Decorating – Home Staging

Archive for October, 2007

Lighting is a key factor in designing and should always be a primary focus of thought for all of your interior design plans. Soft, translucent lights create a warm, personal environment that is ideal for areas such as living rooms or sitting rooms.These types of areas are also great for bedroom lighting arrangements as well. Bathrooms should relay a mixture of the cozy and relaxed lighting option alongside a usable set of work lights to aid in general bathroom activities. Save lighting options such as open bulb lighting or halogens for kitchens and other similar spaces that require working light. Always remember when inserting permanent lighting fixtures to try and direct the source of the light towards an area of the room that you would like to focus attention or highlight.

Wall treatments are another key element to interior design. If you are unsure of a color, before actually painting the walls, paint a large piece of cardboard and place it on the wall next to a window or other architectural piece in the room to see how the color lays.

This is especially helpful because it offers a preview of how the paint will appear after it dries. Many wall treatment techniques are growing more and more popular as good alternatives for messy wallpaper applications.

The color and treatment that you choose for an area’s walls should be the underlying basis of the entire room’s theme or design. It is crucial for you to make good choices in order to wind up with an appealing, sturdy overall design.
