Contemporary Interior Design - Learntodream and Bespoke Interior Design Projects
We all feel a little envious of those clever people who instinctively know exactly what ‘looks right’. You know the sort I mean: they have sensational home and interior design down to a fine art and can turn a bland room into a feast for the eyes with just a few simple pictures and a coloured throw.
The great news is that good contemporary interior design is actually fairly straight forward and hangs on observing a few simple rules:
Always retain the integrity of the space – in other words don’t get too carried away with fanciful ideas. Stay sensible, refrain from trying to include absolutely all your ideas in one room and always try to reflect the ‘personality’ of the house or building. Less is definitely more where bespoke interior design is concerned.
Contemporary Interior Design and the Photograph
In fact, the art of clever contemporary interior design is to select one or two absolutely gorgeous pieces to form a focus for the rest of the room - many adventurous young interior designers have now turned to high quality colour photography to produce the WOW factor - supporting stunning images with toning soft furnishings and subtle wall colours.
Try to think about the effects of light and shade and remember that this will change according to the time of day. Photography can exhibit subtle and fascinating changes as light falls from different angles but it is usually best to select the way a picture should be lit according to the subject matter. Most contemporary interior design houses have embraced a range of clever lighting solutions that will enhance any image so go and see what you can find.
Home and Interior Design - The Importance of Wall Colour
Choosing the right wall colour is absolutely critical. Think about galleries you may have visited and take time to ponder for a minute. Galleries are run by people who take design very seriously indeed. They know that simple, well finished colour washed walls will always help to give a feeling of space and airiness that enhances the richness of your chosen features.
Use Your Own Photographs for a Truly Bespoke Home Interior Design
So, having chose some stunning photography – and why not use your own pictures digitally enhanced and printed on canvasses? – it is time to create your own completely bespoke interior design masterpiece. The only word of warning is to make sure your colour matching is absolutely perfect. A near miss simply isn’t good enough. Contemporary interior design is extremely flexible but it doesn’t take any prisoners.
