This month’s theme on Wit and Dillite is about the art of mix in interior design. I wanted to share more information on this subject and wanted to write about it How You can apply the art of mixing in your home.
When I first sat down to write this article, I thought of Cookbook Salt, fat, acid, heat By Samin Nosrarat (one I recommend highly!), No, it’s not an interior design book, but it Is A book that helps people find out how to mix and balance various elements within the cooking scope. I decided to take a similar approach and wrote about how one can mix different elements in the scope of interior design.
Today I am sharing five major interior design elements, which are common in all my favorite rooms: color, pattern, texture, something old, and something that gives the space to the space. Why each of these elements maintains here.
5 internal design elements need every room
1. Colour
If you have ever taken a painting class, you know that painters usually start with a large area of a color on their canvas, which they then add as they go. Consider the room you are designing a canvas. First choose your base color (which may be the current color of the room Or A color that you plan to bring), then consider which complementary colors you want to add to the mixture. This article on color theory will help you understand how different colors play together. This article from House and Garden According to interior designers, the color is also an interesting to follow the rules.
2. Pattern
The pattern adds interest, depth and emotion to any room. Without it, a space may feel something flat. The patterns can be bold or subtle, colorful or neutral, and can be widely or selectively applied. There is no dearth of ways to bring patterns in the house, from wallpaper to upholstery to rugs.
3. Faculture
I like to add texture to any room. Similar to rooms without patterns, rooms without different types of textures make me feel somewhat dull. I prefer to bring in the texture especially through clothes (eg, velvet, linen, wool) and materials (eg, rattan, marble, rustic wood, metal).
4. Something old
Any room always has space for some antique, especially in places that are mostly filled with new pieces. It is furniture, art, light fixtures, or small decoration items, older pieces bring character and charm to a home.
5. Something that gives the ground to the space
A grounding element is something that serves as the foundation of a room; This is the thing that brings the entire design together. I often use a region rug for a place to ground. It helps in defining a sitting room, sitting room, sitting room, sitting in a living room, bedroom or dining room. It also provides another opportunity to bring color and texture to one place. Wallpaper can also be used as a grounding element, especially if you apply it to an accent wall and use a bold pattern.
If you put these five elements at the forefront of your brain during the design process, the art of the mixture will become so simple. All these elements are things that you can carry forward and pull because your design preferences develop. Eventually, each room in our house means to be experienced and sophisticated, by bit, rather than being updated and finished in one.
