INTERIOR DESIGN The 8 Most Important Principles
1. PLAN FOR REAL LIFE In the interior design process, "Space planning is first," space planning includes blocking out interior spatial areas, defining circulation patterns, and developing plans for furniture layout and equipment placement. every interior design project begins with an assessment of a room’s functional deficiencies and how the elements can be manipulated to better fit the people who live there.

The goal of space planning is to create efficiency. Reorganizing the existing footprint and incorporating a smaller addition would deliver what the homeowner needed.

2. CREATE A VISION Once the designers have an idea of how the space should function, they mesh those requirements with the client’s desired aesthetic and atmosphere, to create a concept for the space. It’s really about creating a vision. There’s a timelessness and longevity [to the interior] when you can implement that vision that’s been well thought out.

3. BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT MATERIALS ANDCONSTRUCTION Quality is key’s materials and construction affects how a person experiences the finished room. Good quality materials have a sound and a feeling that’s different than poor quality materials. Natural materials reign supreme. The Designers often incorporate fabrics like wool, silk, and linen, and favor furniture with solid wood construction and or well-made antiques.

Instead, evaluate whether something is made of an enduring material and built to last. It’s not that everything has to be expensive. There can always be some great finds [at lower price points].

4. JUXTAPOSE CONTRASTING ELEMENTS When a designer combines different Materials, shapes, patterns, and textures, the differences between them can enhance their innate properties. Understanding this can be counter intuitive. Juxtaposition is needed so that the eye can appreciate the difference. For instance, they may all be geometric because the client is drawn to geometry,

But you can’t have all squares in your house. Throwing in a circle makes us appreciate the square so much more and creates a better flow.

5. LAYER THE DETAILS DELIBERATELY The sweeping strokes of an interior design concept are nothing without the supporting details. Whether that’s the scale of a lampshade or the stile width on a cabinet door, a good designer must be detail-oriented and will specify all of the particulars in order to best support the overall vision.

It’s so easy with so many products on the market to say, ‘I love this, this, and this.’ If you don’t go back and ask, do these meet my goals for the space, they may not be the right choice.

6. BE AUTHENTIC Every interior design project should be personalized for the user, beyond just catering to their aesthetic taste and preferences. Even if the goal of a design is simplicity and modernity, we choose to incorporate something a little quirky, which I think makes the room a little more interesting.

7. STRIKE A BALANCE Evaluate a room’s overall composition for balance rather than deliberately create focal points. Suggesting that finding a balance starts with the room’s architectural features, like windows and doors, and then adding in pieces until equilibrium is found.

8. EDIT Hiring an interior designer is like hiring an editor. A designer knows when to add or take away elements to achieve the desired effect. "There’s too much of this one element or these two elements are weakening each other, so let’s remove one." This includes bringing in "breathing room" and incorporating negative space into the overall design, in order to present the strongest composition possible. Don’t be afraid to get rid of things.
