Room decorating design secrets that you should know about

The fact is that, interior design is just too subjective and relies on people’s tastes – not only the designer’s choice. Plus, there is no 100% accurate rule book for interior design. But there are a few tips, tricks and techniques that can be followed to transform a plain room into a work of beauty. Further a perfectly designed room sets the right mood for those living in it.

Here are a few interior design secrets that can help transform any living space into beautiful masterpieces:

Artwork and it’s height matters
Many people have the tendency to hang artwork too high. Place a piece such that there is not too much space between the furniture and the artwork. When there is too much space between the furniture and the artwork, the eye rests on the void – the blank between the two. This messes up the harmony of the design completely. Further, place the artwork almost at eye level to create the required impact.

Arrange book shelves correctly
The trick with bookshelves is that you must arrange 60 percent of the books vertically and 40 percent of the books horizontally on the bookshelf. This creates a sense of balance and still evokes spontaneity. Stack the horizontal books lower than the vertical ones. It’s also a good idea to add some green plants to the bookshelf – however remember to avoid flowers – they simply make the entire shelf look cluttered and distracting.

Create space with mirrors
Mirrors that are used to create space are the most important elements of an interior design. But you will not get good results if they are not positioned correctly. Place them at an easy, strain free eye level. To create an illusion of space, place the mirror opposite to a window so that it bounces off the light.

Select an appropriate rug
The size of the rug you choose is of utmost importance. Say you are selecting a rug for the coffee table, select the rug such that you can comfortably place the sofa and chairs around it. The front legs of each of the furniture pieces must be somewhere on the rug. If you have a large family room, it’s a good idea to use two rugs to create two separate living areas instead of using one large oversized rug.

Think about color schemes
Choose a color scheme that you will feel comfortable in. Make sure that you use a scheme where there is a darker shade which is dominant and used for around 60 percent of the room, a middle tone that will be used for 30 percent of the room and an accent color that is used only for 10 percent of the room.
