How to add function, mood and personality to your interior designs

It requires three special ingredients to create stunning interiors that reflect the personality of the family living there. The secret ingredients are – function, mood and personality. So, before you begin decorating, think about your family and your lifestyle. Fill your homes with all your favourite things – things that make you feel happy and set the right ‘mood’.

Let’s take a look at each one of these ingredients individually and create great interiors:
Function
Every room must look pretty, but every room must also be designed to serve some functionality. It’s important to remember that you need to select the furniture and decorative pieces so that it satisfies some kind of function. To begin with, select a focal point for the room. It could be furniture, television or even an area rug. Then select the furniture and see whether it matches the function in the room. Living room, bedroom and study – all will have different furniture choices depending on the room. Well, measurements are important too. You cannot block the traffic in the room with an oversized bed or sofa. So measure distances and spaces you are trying to decorate and only then select the furniture for the room.

Mood
Mood in a room can be created in various ways. You can create mood with the help of appropriate colors, the selection of furnishing and other decorative elements or by introduction texture and patterns. Think about what inspires you the most. Select the inspiration piece wisely. Further, ensure that you decorate your room with a theme. The theme will set the right mood for the room. Select the colours and hues that match the theme you have selected.

Personality
Adding a personal stamp to the room makes it even more charming. This is because; it’s no longer just a piece of beauty, but creates a perfectly cosy and comfortable environment for you. To begin with, select your accessories carefully, if you need help, go through a few pictures and photographs that make you feel happy. Select the right pillows and area rugs. You have a lot of flexibility while selecting accessories. Select then to reflect your personality rather than selecting something that has only a beautification value. Since it’s your room, you can add some whimsy with accessories too. This takes away the sterile quality that is sometimes created while following ‘rules’ and guidelines. Placing something unexpected among the most regular decorative pieces is the key. Above all, make sure that your room exudes a personality of its own – or is a reflection of your personality.

It’s important to ensure that all the elements you place in a room are in perfect harmony!
