Interior Design Tips

How to start the designing work for your dwelling house without involving high renovation cost yet can create an atmosphere that you wanted?  

Here I share some of my thoughts and give you some guidelines. 

- To create a focus point in a room, you can paint a strong colour on one of the wall which the eye needs to be directed where to look first. Add 1 or 2 spotlights will enhance the focus point. 

- To make a room visually wider and more space, mirror will bring out the effect.  

- Colour like off whites, cream & beige will give you an appearance of more space while warm colors like red and yellow will give an impression of a smaller space. On the other hand cool colors like blue and green will give an openness appearance. 

- Avoid use gloss paint as it will show uneven surface specially when you open the lights at night. - If you have a low ceiling space, install your picture frames on eye level as putting them high on the wall will makes your ceiling look lower.  

- If your floor is tiles finished or any stone material, put a rug to make your room cozy. Rotate your rug once in a while to even out the wear and tear. 

- If your couch is beige/ white or light colour, place some yellow, orange, red colour cushion on it. Instantly the couch will look more interesting. 

- To create a romantic mood, install bedsides lamp with coloured blubs like amber, rose, etc...
