Of course the world of interior design is very wide and has lots of variety. Here’s a few simple steps or “golden rules” you can take with a grain of salt, because your home should create a representation of who you are and make you feel comfortable. This post is more of a list to provide help to those who need a little guidance in the realm of interior design.

The Golden Rectangle: The greek ratio of a perfect room goes as follows: 1 to 1.61803399, these numbers basically mean for a perfect design the room’s walls should fall under this ratio in order to create a perfect room.

Texture + Color: Color and texture go hand in hand. Someone who is trying to add character to a room should never fear of patterns or texture because it truly does go well together.

Lightening: The lights in the room set the mood for the room as a whole. The lighting should reflect on the feel you want in room. If you’re trying to get a room perfect for unwinding and relaxation try for a more ambient focus of light, for a room to feel clean and crisp white lightening can always do the trick.

Surround yourself with what you love: Finally, and most importantly, when designing your home remember that home is where the heart is and it should be filled with things you love. Whether you want to express a love for a color, activity, or your family, don’t shy away from it. There is always a way to tastefully have your personality throughout your home.

White rooms have been all the rage for a while now, and I don’t see that trend ending any time soon. White paint makes a room feel open, airy, and bright, while providing the perfect backdrop for whatever accent colors you choose. And if your tastes change often, you won’t have to repaint to match your latest design choices.

Lighting can make or break your design.

There is nothing worse than feeling like you are under interrogation lights. There are many ways to address this. Adding dimmers to your switches is relatively easy, and try to vary the heights of lighting in a room. You don’t want everything on the same plane. Use soft pink light bulbs for a flattering glow. In the next picture of this amazing kitchen, you will notice ceiling lights, pendant lights, and then task lighting under the range hood.

Add architectural interest to the space.

There is no better way to elevate your room and increase the value of your home then by adding architectural details. There are many ways to achieve this look. Adding wainscoting, crown molding, or ceiling beams are some great examples.

Choose a variety of seating.

No more matching sets! If you already own a matched set, try repainting some of the pieces or moving pieces to another room. For example, a night stand can be an end table in your family room.

Add greenery.

Browse through home pictures, and you’ll be hard pressed to find one that does not contain some greenery or some fresh flowers. Potted plants add softness, and flowers add life to a room.
