My design philosophy

My design philosophy

I truly believe that a well-designed, harmonious interior is affecting our mood, an our moods, our feelings are setting the tone for our every day life.

I like to design interiors that are tailored to each and every client of mine, based on their likes, preferences, life-styles, and the attributes of the space itself. I don’t follow trends blindly, rather customize the space to the preferences of my clients. Regardless of  the interior to be modern, traditional, or transitional, I base my designs on the following design principles:

Focal Point

Emphasis is something we all know about. It simply means that every room or space has a focal point, whether it is architectural or an object. A fireplace is the most common architectural focal point. Oversized artwork or a large piece of furniture can also be a focal point in a room.

Interior design elements like color, texture and form are used to add emphasis to a focal point.

Balance:

Balance in interior design refers to the proper distribution of objects in a room to create visual balance. This reflects a design quality that is not biased and seeming to have equal portions. Even so, we do not have to design the interior into a symmetrical shape to make it look balanced. Structuring asymmetric actually used provided that all look the same corner of the room, aligned and balanced.

Proportion and scale:

These two design principles go hand in hand, since both relate to size and shape. Proportion has to do with the ratio of one design element to another or one element to the whole. Scale concerns itself with the size of one object compared to another. When these two principles are missing, a space falls out of balance.

Repetition and Rhythm:

Repetition is the use of the same element more than once throughout a space. You can repeat a pattern, color, texture, line, or any other element, or even more than one element.

In interior design, rhythm is all about visual pattern repetition. Rhythm is defined as continuity, recurrence or organized movement. To achieve these themes in a design, you need to think about repetition, progression, transition and contrast.
