Color and Light in Interior Design

    If you have a small space that you want to look bigger or a space that's big that you want to look smaller. Lighting and coloring are your best friends. However, if you don't know them yet, let me introduce you. 

     First off, you need to know that when light can reflect off different colors in a space that it can make it feel smaller or bigger. Typically if you have a small room with some windows bringing in natural light, you should do more lighter colors with dark accents. To make the room or space feel bigger. Then to make a room or space feel smaller, you would do the opposite.

    Secondly, to give it more of your taste and character. You add your pieces and things you like around, if you want the space to feel colors and homier. The different colors will change the lighting concept a little but if you want the space to be yours, then go for it.

    Finally, it really just depends on your color palette, because that can either make your decision or you won't feel comfortable in your room or space. For example, if you like more warmer tones and hues, then it can make your space feel smaller and homier. And if you like colder tones and hues, then it can make your space feel bigger. It's really just between your light and dark colors.

Have fun designing!

Design Philosophy in Design

      When trying to figure out your design philosophy, can be difficult. What helped me was to look around and just find the styles and aesthetics that you are drawn to. I would then look up and do research on the different styles in general on Pinterest mainly.  drawing by author I see design philosophy as my style and aesthetic that I've decorated with before and enjoy designing now. I enjoy modern/ contemporary style with plants and sharp and some curved lines. I use this style as a way to have a clean and simple style that you can change at any time if need be. As well as, designing with a modern/ contemporary space that can bring joy and relaxation. My experience is just enjoying designing the idea of creating a clean space with newer styles that draw in the interest of all that are around. Also, to just create a nice creative space.                           ...

Design that's not Sublime

     You don't realize it but if you look around you'll see it. Designs that aren't eye catching are a lot with your everyday things such as doors and windows. Those are two of the bigger things in design that can be sublime but are mainly thought of in a basic way. (drawing by author)     A basic door not being overly attractive just shows that its for functionality over style, which is the whole overlay of a design not being sublime. Seeing basic door in this way can make it where there are no distractions from the rest of the design of the building. Using a basic door in this manor helps with the idea of its practicality. And the experience is simple of the closer to a room or an opener to a space over all. https://www.amazon.com/WINSOON-5-16FT-Single-Sliding-Hardware/dp/B06XSCKQK9      So if you have a door like this (picture above) that gives the design with practicality and the look of it going along with the rest o...
