In interior architectural design, 3 factors directly affect the success of the design.
Functional
Aesthetic
Economic
Designers make the necessary space analyses by taking these 3 factors into account and make interior architectural design decisions according to these analyses.
The Focus
You can create a focal point in every room in the residence. This focal point should include a design that reflects the unique characteristics of the user. This is a flashy furniture or decorative object that visually separates from the space as a color-texture or material, or a stunning lighting fixture. After creating your focal point, you can create the design in the rest of the space with simple-neutral color tones and textures. Thus, both the contrast in the design and the attractiveness of the focal point will increase even more, and a calm and eye-watering image will be formed in the rest of the space.
Choose Your Colors
The colors you choose determine the atmosphere of the entire place. The colors used in the design are one of the main design factors that affect how you will feel inside the space.
How can you choose colors for the designs?
Neutral colors are always safe choices. With neutral colors, you can create designs that are calm, clean and put you in a calm atmosphere. In addition, neutral tones can also be easily made exciting. Vivid-bold colors that you can choose strategically will give a contrasting image with the serene atmosphere of the environment and, as we mentioned earlier, will allow you to create certain focal points within the space.
You can create a warm and relaxing atmosphere in the place by using colors such as wood tones that remind you of nature, pastel green tones, mustard yellow, and orange, as well as neutral colors.
If you want to make bold designs, you can choose bright colors instead of soft-pastel-neutral colors. But watch out! Excessive number and distribution of colors in vivid color designs may tire the user's eyes. If you are going to use the selected colors everywhere in the space, you should make sure that you make a coordinated layout. Thus, a harmonious design can be created without disturbing the user with the vivid color intensity.
Use Different Textures
You can create a layered design using different textures in a space.
What is layered design?
The layered design is a type of design that is followed for the user to better perceive the space, distinguish the design elements used in the space from each other, and select the differences in functions. In layered design, various textures are selected in the interior design elements to prevent the formation of a uniform, boring, inauthentic image.
Plush carpets, pillows of different patterns and textures; velvet, leather, etc. armchairs in textures, wood textured tables, etc. can be preferred in layered designs.
Lighting
The lighting elements selected in the design can keep the design standing or destroy it. Too much or too little light used in the space prevents the correct perception of the space by the user. To avoid such results, it is necessary to analyze in detail the indoor functions, user characteristics, and the optimal level of light required in the environment.
Natural Light!
Natural light is always a priority when it comes to lighting. During the space design, the area should receive maximum natural light. For this reason, it should be ensured that the windows of the space are not blocked by furniture and mechanical-electrical installations.
Use Plants
The use of plants in interior architectural designs both creates a natural touch for your home and helps to clean the indoor air, allowing you to create a healthy atmosphere. You will see that both the space and your mood are cleaned with plants that you can put on the table, middle coffee table, bookcase, TV unit, or even right next to your seat.
Storage Is Your Best Friend
Live in a crowded family or by yourself. Cluttered can grow quickly and take up your living spaces. For this reason, you should make sure that you make furniture choices that have a storage function. Fixed bookcases or decorative-looking supply cabinets, folding coffee tables that work to hide clutter, etc. you can avoid clutter that may occur in your home with furniture.
Reflect Your Originality
Your home is a special place for you. Whether it's a family photo, a collection of your favorite, or a trinket with a memory. By using such decoration elements, you can make your home special to you. By adding pieces of yourself to the design, you can process a side of your personality to your home.
