On the Lookout for Florida Designers: GettingYour Interior to Shine
So you're moving into a new condo unit or
getting bored staring at the cramped spaces of your old room,and the thought of
chatting with an interior designer keeps nudging your brain. Don't worry.People
are wired to appreciate harmony and to inexplicably feel bad when their inherent
sense of spatial balance gets disrupted. If you're getting restless living in
your place, then your interior probably needs afresh transformation.Perhapsyou
can startwith that gaudy pin-up calendar that came free with the bargain
purchases you made at the mall, which now looms menacingly over much of your
dining area.
But before you call up a Florida designer, wouldn't
it be great to know some very basic interior design tactics so you can better establish
and describe your own design preferences?
While many well-executed interiors reflect
the solitary vision of really good designers, a few design practitioners love
to get their clients personally involved in the creative process. Noted Florida
designer Anne Rue, for example, wants her
clients to play a leading role in how the different elements of design play
togetherto come up with a finalinterior layout that directly reflects the
client’s values and aspirations. For designers such as 15-year veteran Anne
Rue, engaging clients is nearly identical to helping them express themselves
using color, texture, shapes and lines that are carefullypositioned in the three-dimensional
spaces of their home or office.
Basics
of Interior Design
If you plan on working with Florida
designers like Anne Rue, then it's best to have a crash course on interior
design. The main concepts are fairly easy to remember. Once you get familiar
with these concepts, articulating your personal vision will be easier.
Think of interior design as a simple system
made up of five fundamentals and nine elements. The fundamental concepts of
design are:
1.
scale
2.
proportion
3.
rhythm
4.
emphasis
5.
balance
Scale tells whether or not objects
complement each other in terms of dimension (size) or mass. Proportion relates
a specific area or part of an interior to the whole. Rhythm refers to the flow
of different visual components across a given space such as a room or the entire
building. Emphasis is the level of sensory importance given to a particular
area, object or a specific design characteristic. Balance is the sense of
equilibrium that is achieved through simple symmetry, circular symmetry or
deliberate asymmetry.
Meanwhile, the nine design elements are:
1.
space
2.
shape
3.
form
4.
mass
5.
line
6.
texture
7.
pattern
8.
light
9.
color
Space is the amount of area or surface that
is available for use. An interior should have ample and complementing supply of
both small and large spaces. Shape refers an object's two-dimensional profile
while form refers to an object's profile in three-dimensional space. Mass is
the apparent or true volume of an object. Line is a narrow form that can be
straight, wavy or curved. Texture is the tactile or visual feel of a particular
surface. Pattern is the predictable arrangement of visual elements. Light and
color are arguably the two most eloquent elements of design.
Applying
the Basics of Interior Design
All people have a basic grasp of beauty and
we get to apply this aesthetic sense to some of the things we encounter every
day. This is not, however, a green light to go ahead and unleash your inner
designer and embark on an ambitious five-room project in your house. Go ahead
if you feel confident that you just might pull it off but keep in mind that
redesigning interiors can be a very expensive undertaking. Unless you know how to
convincingly draw a sofa, hiring and working closely with a competent Florida
designer will be the more cost-effective decision.
