Many people spend a lot of time decorating their homes only to end up with a boring result that is not very inspiring. Their home looks nice, but it is just not interesting. It feels like it is missing something. Here are several interior designer tips & tricks for creating an interesting interior design that is design magazine worthy. Design StyleWhen decorating a home, many people make a mistake of starting with a color scheme. Interior designers know that the color scheme must come after selecting a design style. A room without style is definitely not interesting. For help in determining a design style for your home, see the article What is Your Design Style?

Yes, we all have mass produced items in our homes, but we should not continually purchase the ones that are the most popular and prevalent. Avoid purchasing every item of your home's furniture and decor at decorating chain stores in your neighborhood, larger super stores that you visit once a week, or companies who mail a very popular catalog. Feel free to purchase a few items from these stores, but not everything in your entire home. An interior designer trick to finding truly unique items is to look at flea markets, antique stores, garage sales, and larger online stores such as Amazon #ad that offer many more options than any brick and mortar store ever could (plus they often have much lower prices). Antique and vintage items purchased second hand can be painted or reupholstered in the color of your choice to be 100% unique and interesting.

Contrast is basically the difference between the lightest and darkest element in the room. Many rooms are filled with beige and do not have much white and almost no black, making the room feel very boring and dull. An interior designer tip to finding the correct contrast in a room is to take a black and white photo of the room. The photo should have about 50-80% gray, 10-25% black, and 10-25% white. Photo by Stadler Custom Homes - Browse basement photos TextureRooms without texture can feel very sterile, so make sure to add textural items to every room to make them feel cozy and welcoming. This is especially true in most contemporary and modern interiors that have solid colored fabrics instead of textural patterns. Interior designers often add many of the same types of textural items to their designs to make the room more interesting. These items include soft curtains, rough wicker baskets, shiny mirrors, fluffy rugs, rough brick, a collection of tattered hardback books, pillows with an accentuated texture, curvy flowers, drippy candles, tufted furniture, and distressed wood. Photo by - Browse home office photos ArchitectureA room's architecture, or lack thereof, can make it boring. Most new home builders add the bare minimum to the architecture to make the home as affordable as possible. Interior designers know that the architecture of a home sets the stage for the interior design of the room. A good design will never be great without good architecture. If your home is very plain without architectural interest, consider adding crown molding, window trim, wood or stone flooring instead of carpet, a fun doorbell, framed bathroom mirrors, unique cabinet hardware, and interesting light fixtures. Opt for natural materials (such as real wood and real granite) over man made materials (such as laminate flooring or cultured marble countertops) for a more timeless look. LightingBasic lighting in a room makes the room look basic, not interesting. The general basic lighting in a room, typically in the center of the ceiling, is called ambient lighting. Try incorporating additional types of lighing in your interior design to make it more interesting. Lighting focused on an area of activity is called task lighting. This includes a desk lamp, under cabinet lights in a kitchen, and vanity lighting in a bathroom. Accent lighting is used to draw attention to certain items in a room, such as a light direct towards art or plants. Decorative lighting is lighting where the light fixture is beautiful, such as a crystal chandelier or a decorative wall sconce. By incorporating multiple lighting sources in every room, you can better adjust the light level to your desired activity and give your room more dimension with different lighting in different areas.

The Shuffle table seems to conjure images of classic wooden toys and with good reason. The choice of colours and the fact that you can unify and construct the table as you like are all ideas Mia Hamborg got from the Brio Stacking Clown she had as a child. She wants people to feel a sense of joy when they see her design. With the opportunity to decide the shape, colour and height of the table, the Shuffle table is a truly Nordic approach to democratic design. Now available in a new colour combination: Array.
When decorating a home, many people start in the living room. The living room is usually where a family spends the most time and it is where they entertain guests. Decorating a living room may seem daunting, so just follow these steps for interior designer tips and tricks for how to decorate a living room. Furniture PlanFirst things first, you must have a plan when decorating a living room. Do not buy things here and there and hope they fit and coordinate with each other. Many people have purchased items that are too large or too small for their room and their room ends up looking and feeling unbalanced. Figure out how many people will be using the living room and for what purposes - reading, watching TV, playing board games, etc. Use graph paper to make a floor plan by drawing your room to scale and cut out paper templates of furniture that you can move around on the floor plan. Figure out the best location of furniture for your specific needs and what sized furniture works best. You will probably need at least 1 sofa, end tables, a coffee table or large ottoman, at least 1 chair, and maybe a piece of storage furniture for books, board games, a TV, or whatever. If your room is large, you might also want a sofa table, a sectional sofa, or other furniture to fit the large room Focal PointDecide on a focal point for your living room. It can be your fireplace, a large piece of artwork, an amazing light fixture, or a colorful rug. Maybe it is even a brightly painted piano. Ideally, your living room focal point should not be the television, however the TV is the focal point of a living room more times than not. If your TV ends up being your focal point, at least put it over a great fireplace or on top of a nice piece of furniture. Don't skip using a focal point or your room will end up looking nice but not fantastic. FabricsSelect the fabrics for your living room. You might have curtains, a rug, upholstered furniture, a throw blanket, and/or pillows. The fabrics will often determine the color scheme of your room. Start by selecting the fabric on your largest piece, either a sofa or rug, and build from there. Don't purchase anything until all fabrics for the room have been decided upon. You might choose to have your fabrics coordinate very closely or you might want to have your fabrics be more eclectic and colorful. A general rule of thumb is that you want your fabric patterns to be different scales - perhaps a large scale floral, a medium scale stripe, and a small scale plaid. Get FurnitureBuy your large pieces of furniture for your living room first. Make sure you sit all furniture before buying it. It must be comfortable. If you plan on laying down on your sofa, lay down on it to make sure it is the correct length. Get all of the other furniture needed for your living room. Don't be afraid to purchase unique vintage pieces to make your home unique with one-of-a-kind treasures. Consider reinventing the vintage pieces with new paint or upholstery. Avoid purchasing everything shown on a certain page of your favorite furniture catalog - mix it up a bit or your home will feel like a furniture showroom that everyone has seen before. PaintAfter all of the living room fabrics have been selected, you can paint your living room walls (and maybe even your ceiling a color other than white if you prefer). Select a paint color that is used a little here and there in your fabrics. If you use a dominant color that is used a lot througout your room, you will get a very dramatic and modern effect. Dark paint colors usually make your living room feel more cozy. Lighter paint colors usually make your living room feel more light and bright and cheerful. LightingLighting is not just functional, it can also be jewelry for your room. Skip the basic builder light fixtures and select something fun or unique for your living room. Don't forget to add lamps so you get light at eye level and not all of the light comes from the ceiling. Ideally, you should have lighting from multiple sources at different heights in your living room. AccessoriesSelect unique accessories in the colors of your fabrics to reinforce your color scheme. Vary the texture of accessories in your living room to create interest. Use rough wicker baskets with sleek metal lamps, shiny mirrors with soft velvet drapes, or distressed accent furniture with new metallic spheres. Try to find unique accessories and avoid accessories similar to the ones in your friends' houses that came from a large accessory store down the street. You might want to decorate with vintage or antique items for a truly unique living room. Try to repeat at least 3 colors in at least 3 different places on your accessories throughout your room. Also use lighter or darker versions of those colors for more interest. Plants and FlowersTo bring life to your living room, add a real plant or fresh flowers. Avoid fake flowers and plants if at all possible.
