Step-by-Step Home Design

Have you been indoors for a long time due to Covid-19 and want innovative changes in your home? This article is for you.

First of all, what is house design?

It is the whole drawing of the infrastructure of the house that can meet the user's expectations. In these drawings, it is necessary to determine the exterior facades, internal volumes, load-bearing systems, and mechanical and electrical installation drawings of the dwelling in detail.

The factors we pay attention to within our company in housing designs:

Placement criteria; The design can be made by taking the housing as a whole or a part of a whole housing under the lens. In both cases, the design must work as a whole with the environment in which it is located. Attention should be paid to the land data, topography, and population data of the island, parcel, and structure where the design is located.

Climatic Conditions; Insulation recommendations should be made according to the climatic conditions in which the design is located. For example, in designs where the cold climate is effective, pitched roofs, wind breakers, insulation materials, etc. suggestions; ventilation areas, and canopies can be recommended in designs where the warm climate is effective.

Budget; It is important to know the budget determined by our customer before starting the design. Design materials are selected according to the determined budget, and economical but reliable materials are selected and used in the design to implement the designs desired by the customer.

Accessible Materials; A work period is determined for design and application processes. Items such as the stock status of the materials to be used, their quantities, and how they will be supplied are determined by considering the design, budget, and this work time. In case of need in practice, its supply should be provided as soon as possible.

Life-Friendly Design Criteria; Healthy space organization in the residence, the minimum level of energy to be used in the spaces and the recovery of the energy spent should be ensured.

In the beginning, the Entree

In the entrance part, which the people who come to your house see first, the ambiance you want in your home should be obvious. In this section, small lighting systems for a warm welcome, colorful texture selections, mirrors that can help make the entrance look bigger, and tables in different styles that will bring color to the walls can be considered.

What about colors?

When our topic is “color”, we should not forget that colors are factors that directly affect user psychology. For example, nowadays, red-orange-yellow color scales are mostly used in fast food places, and shopping mall dining floors to give the user a feeling of hunger. These colors evoke feelings of hunger, speed, and anxiety in a person, making them feel that they need to eat something as soon as possible.

Based on this, color scales created in space designs should be selected according to the function of the space, which will give you feelings of belonging, trust, and comfort in your own home. You can create fresh air in the spaces with colors in light tones such as cream-white. With the texture of wood and the proportional use of brown, feelings of “trust, and protection” can be evoked. By turning to pastel colors on furniture and synthetic surfaces, you can create a sweet, soft mood. If there is a different focal point in your home that you want to draw attention to, according to the overall design, you can put these areas in focus by using bolder colors.

The examples go on and on in this way. If you think that you are in a mess among so many options, you can get professional help in your living spaces by reaching out to Ankara Riva Interior Architecture.

Texture

In the spaces in your home, the choice of materials and textures for functions is very important. In addition to the aesthetics of the textures, you prefer and the functionality of the space should also be considered throughout the design process. For example; If ceramic materials are preferred on kitchen countertops, it is possible to facilitate cleaning, prevent damage over time, and ensure durability for many years. This is the reason why ceramic surfaces are widely used in wet areas. Durable and aesthetic furniture can be created by taking advantage of the harmony of wood and metal in areas such as living rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It is worth paying attention to the metal ratio here. Excess metal surfaces can create cold air in the environment.

Effective Innovations

The first step should be to decide how you want to make a change in your living space. There is no need for major changes to create a different atmosphere in your home. The small changes you make can have big consequences.

Firstly, you can create more simple, modern, and comfortable spaces by getting rid of excess furniture and accessories in your home.

You can remove the furniture you see every day and make a new start with a clean environment. Again, in the same way, you can change the color of a piece of furniture that you see every day and provide a new look by adding different colors and textures.

You don't always have to innovate with changes in inanimate elements in the design. It is possible to create breathing environments with the right amount of green textures and plants to add to your spaces.

Lighting

To give a warm welcome message in your home, you should pay attention to your choices in lighting elements. For example, if you use very bright white lights with the purpose to create bright and clean environments, a cold hospital corridor atmosphere may be given more than a warm home one. For you to feel comfortable and reliable in your home, it is necessary to create warm and caring environments. In this context, the number of lighting elements should be, firstly, according to the functional characteristics of the space to be used, and secondly, according to aesthetic taste.

Decorative Walls

 

The accessories you will use on your walls can help to add a stylish and modern atmosphere to your home.

Let's say you have a long corridor. A few tables of the right size and number can turn this long circulation space into a more attractive one. Let's imagine that you have a large hall. You can create a calm atmosphere with simple and modern furniture and combine this modern air with a stylish filter with large tables in places.

Paintings that you can see as your signature in your rooms can add color to the room and emphasize your personality. Adding pieces of your own in your design ideas strengthens the sense of belonging to your home.

You don't have to be limited to just paintings in wall decoration. Wall shelves, wrought iron accessories, rustic chandeliers, lamps, etc. it is also possible to bring aesthetic solutions with elements.

Let the place where your feet are pressed be comfortable

When choosing your furniture, you should pay attention to carpets, which are one of the most important elements. When you move to a new house, one of the events that shows that your moving adventure is over is the laying of the carpets. Carpets that affect the mood of your home to this extent should be carefully selected for other furniture and most importantly for your comfort in color and texture choices. However there are a few elements to pay attention to at the selection stage. According to the size of the space, the size of the carpet should be paid attention to. According to the user profiles, the texture of the carpet should also be paid attention to. It would be more correct for a family with children to make aesthetic choices about hygiene that will be easier to clean.
