What size should the rug be?What about the height of the bed, the color of the curtains or the shade of the ceiling? The answers to all these questions are in our article today, because we share useful tips from 10 different designers. Decorating your own interior should not be a difficult and unpleasant task, it is meant to bring satisfaction. And if you do not want to spend money on those "specialists" who can turn your home into a place that you do not really like, use the advice of different designers. It is best to use white curtains in your interior.
J.Randall Powers If you have been unable to decide on the color of the curtains for a long time, opt for white, and you will definitely not regret this decision in the future. This is a truly universal and win-win option that will be appropriate in any room, regardless of its style and color scheme. And if these curtains are also made of light translucent fabric, your interior will immediately be filled with natural light, will become visually spacious and more airy. When laying a carpet on the floor, leave at least 7-10 centimeters on each side, this will make the space seem wider, and this is much better than spreading it tightly from one wall to another.
Elissa Cullman Maybe someone else is still doing it the old fashioned waycovers the entire floor, but this technique is definitely a thing of the past and is now used quite rarely. We recommend leaving at least a small space from the edge of the carpet to the walls, so it will look much more attractive and stylish. A good formula for choosing a shade for the ceiling is the trim color plus 50% white.
A.Caccoma The advice is very useful, because even if you paint the ceiling with the same paint that the walls were painted with, it will look a few tones darker. So yes, it is better to dilute the color you like with white paint and make it an order of magnitude lighter. And for those who want to get away from the "boring" neutral ceilings, we once made an article with a selection, and even with advice from a designer. The height of the bed should be a maximum of 58 centimeters from the floor; it should not be made higher.
K.Ridder, remember: an important point is to select its optimal height. For most people, the most comfortable and acceptable height is considered to be 50 centimeters. But if your height is less than 175 centimeters, you need to look at lower beds that do not exceed 40-45 centimeters. Every room needs at least one antique accent and one touch of black.
J.Showers We once wrote about , so even a small accent of black is an important detail of any interior, it is like a little black dress in any woman's wardrobe. And designer J. Showers believes that another element that the interior cannot do without is antiques. Why not? Things with history always arouse interest and intrigue. Always use white bed linen and towels, never changing this tradition under any circumstances. They create an atmosphere of cleanliness and order.
M.Hoefer Impractical? Maybe so, but white bed linen will help you tune in to a good rest, lull you like a baby and calm you down, and snow-white towels will give you freshness in the morning. The main thing is to choose high-quality materials that will not lose their original dazzling whiteness and attractive appearance even after a large number of washes. Make sure you display everything you have in your collection together.
Ann Wolf Is collecting one of your hobbies? Then feel free to display your favorite items for everyone to see and decorate your interior with them. A little patina will add warmth to your home, making it more beautiful and welcoming.
Richard Bories & James Shearron A touch of antiquity will not be appropriate in all styles, so be careful with this advice. It should be noted that patina will harmoniously complement the Provence or style. One day while I was examining myfirst apartment in New York, David Hicks said to me in a very diplomatic manner: "Dear boy, you need pictures if you are going to paint the walls white."
Peter Dunham Indeed, white is the colorthe perfect backdrop for any piece of art or even a whole collection. It is the painting that will attract all the attention if it is displayed on a neutral white wall. You need to find the best seating area in the room and work from there to arrange the rest of your living room furniture.
