Top 10 Interior Design “Do’s” and “Don’ts”
Are you satisfied with your living space, but you think it could be better? You’re not alone. A well-designed space is key to turning your house into your home. You don’t need a dramatic overhaul to your décor to improve its comfort and appeal. And the best spaces should always reflect your own personal style and touch. The following design tips can help turn your space from drab to dreamy.
Interior Design Do’s:
1. Plan and prioritize: Start by creating a clear plan for your space, considering functionality, aesthetics, and budget. Identify the most important elements you want to focus on and allocate resources accordingly.
2. Create a cohesive color scheme: Choose a harmonious color palette that is complementary and sets the mood you want for the space. Stick to a few key colors to avoid a cluttered look.
3. Incorporate natural elements: Bringing nature indoors can add warmth and tranquility. Consider using natural materials like wood, stone, or plants to create a connection with the outdoors.
4. Optimize lighting: Use a combination of natural and artificial lighting to enhance the ambiance and functionality of the space. Incorporate task lighting, ambient lighting, and accent lighting for various purposes.
5. Invest in quality furniture: Good-quality furniture not only looks better but also lasts longer. Focus on comfort and durability when choosing pieces for your home.
Interior Design Don’ts:
1. Overcrowd the space: Avoid cluttering your rooms with too many unnecessary items. Leave enough breathing space to allow the design elements to shine.
2. Follow trends blindly: While it’s essential to stay updated with design trends, don’t feel obligated to incorporate them all. Choose elements that resonate with your style and preferences.
3. Neglect functionality: No matter how beautiful a design is, it should also be practical and functional. Ensure that the layout and furniture arrangement facilitate easy movement and usage.
4. Hang artwork incorrectly: Artwork should be hung at eye level and should complement the furniture and the overall design theme.
5. Rely solely on overhead lighting: Overhead lighting can create harsh shadows and a onedimensional feel. Mix various lighting sources to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. When it comes to interior design, what matters most is that you create spaces that reflect your personality and make you feel comfortable and happy. These do’s and don’ts can serve as general guidelines, but don’t be afraid to bend the rules if it leads to a space that truly resonates with you.

vegetation you feel like you’re in the countryside This 16 home community consists of two private cul de sacs with quick access to major highways, parks, schools and all shopping and restaurants

Checklist for Finding and Hiring a Builder or Remodeler
Use this checklist to help you select a home builder or home remodeler to work on or build your home.
• Contact the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Central Connecticut for the names of member builders and remodelers. Search our members at hbracentralct.com. You can also ask family, friends or coworkers for recommendations.
• Make sure the builder or home remodeler has a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers.
• Find out how long they have been in the building business. It usually takes three to five years to establish a financially sound business. You want to make sure they will be around after the construction is complete to service any warranties.
• Check out the company’s rating and if there have been any complaints filed with your local Better Business Bureau: bbb.org.
• Make sure the builder/remodeler has sufficient workers compensation and general liability insurance. If not, you may be liable for any construction-related accidents on your premises.
• Ask the builder/remodeler to provide you with names of previous customers. If they
won’t, beware. If they do, ask the customers if they would hire the builder/remodeler again.
• Ask if you can see the builder/ remodelers work, both completed and in progress. Check for quality of workmanship and materials.
• Do you feel you can easily communicate with the builder/ remodeler? Remember you will be in close contact with them throughout the construction process and afterward as you live in your new home.
• Make sure the builder/remodeler provides you with a complete and clearly written contract. The contract will benefit both of you. If you are having a new home built, get and review a copy of
the home warranty and homeowner manual as well.
• Be cautious of unusually low-priced bids. If the builder/ remodeler is unable to pay for the materials and labor as the project proceeds, this may indicate a potential problem. Keep in mind that less expensive does not necessarily mean better!
• Verify that your remodeler is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator if you are planning work in a pre-1978 home that will disturb more than six square feet of painted surfaces inside the home or 20 square feet on the exterior of the home.
