That\u2019s the beauty of individual creativity! But while every person brings their own flair to their decorating projects, there are certain rules that every certified interior decorator keeps close to the heart.\n\nWant to know more? Keep reading for the 8 home d\u00e9cor rules interior decorators should live by![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 Always take measurements<\/h3>\nAlways, always, ALWAYS whip your measuring tape out when you\u2019re doing an evaluation of the room(s) you\u2019re going to be working in. Not only should the physical space be measured, but make sure you\u2019re also getting the measurements of large furniture pieces when you\u2019re putting together your floor plans. Nothing\u2019s worse than trying to cram a dresser and a desk into the corner of the bedroom, only to find out that you\u2019re blocking the door!\n\nWhile we\u2019re on the subject of the door\u2026 make sure that the furniture you curate for your clients can actually fit through the entry way and down whatever hallways to get to their final destination. Take measurements of the height, length, width, and diagonal width to ensure that you\u2019ve got everything covered! Check out this handy article<\/a> for more information on measuring your furniture![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 Arrange your light sources<\/h3>\nWhen your only lighting comes from above, it can get pretty boring fast. You want to make sure that when you enter a new room, it feels<\/em> like you have. Using lighting to accentuate the different rooms in a house is key\u2014especially if the house is lacking in windows and natural lighting. Using a mixture of different lighting options at different scales and heights will ensure that all the dark corners of a room are illuminated and give you that added interest.\n\nWhen it comes to lighting in a dining room, the traditional chandelier is still a strong choice. When proportionally sized with the dining room table, it can tie the whole room together. Just make sure the dramatic lighting piece is high enough so that your clients and their guests aren\u2019t constantly bumping their heads on the fixtures when they stand up.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”8716″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” delay=”250″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 Create flow<\/h3>\nFurniture placement can directly impact how people perceive the space and how well they move. Make sure that all the rooms you design facilitate movement!\n\nYour clients should never feel cramped\u2014especially since the home is supposed to be a place to relax and unwind after a long day at work. Space out the furniture so that your clients won\u2019t be tripping over themselves and their furniture when trying to move from point A to point B.\n\nThe flow of the rooms should also make sense. Would it make sense for your clients to walk through the living room to get to the dining room from the kitchen? With the prevalence of open-concept spaces, it\u2019s often up to interior decorators to really define the spaces in logical and aesthetically pleasing ways![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 Form or function?<\/h3>\nAn easy rookie mistake is to get carried away with the aesthetics of a room. Form is not function to a paying client! Especially those who may have a few cramped spaces that they\u2019re trying to open up — you don\u2019t have space to waste! It can be a daunting task to find furniture pieces or d\u00e9cor that are multi-functional AND fitting for the color scheme and theme of the rooms. Daunting, but not impossible!\n\nWhy not try incorporating suede or leather-upholstered ottomans for a storage solution with a luxurious twist? Or have planters arranged vertically or suspended from the ceiling of a sunroom? Creating different levels of elevation within a single room can allow you to maximize space while also making the space visually interesting![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”8717″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” delay=”250″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 Mix and match properties<\/h3>\nMany decorators tend to think that big furniture in a small room can close up an already tiny space. What they don\u2019t know is that added drama with large-furniture functionality can actually be pretty inviting! Need an example? Furnishing a small room with two large armchairs can establish the function of the room and limit the amount of clutter in it, thereby creating a cozy reading nook for clients looking for an easy escape.\n\nMono-chromatic color schemes are super trendy, but it\u2019s quite the balancing act to adhere to a simple color palette without keeping the place from looking drab and flat.\n\nDecorators should be mixing patterns, shapes, and textures to create focal points in the space that draw in the eyes. Why not mix metal and wood surfaces, rounded cylinders with sharp-cornered tables, or solid colors and chevron print? Interest necessitates mixing and matching![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 DIY furniture or decor<\/h3>\nBudget constraints will often force you to be more creative with how you approach a project. Don\u2019t be afraid to shop around to find deals if your usual furniture and d\u00e9cor connections don\u2019t have exactly what your clients are looking for.\n\nSometimes you may even find yourself getting your hands dirty and attempt a DIY. While your clients probably don\u2019t want you to build them a bookshelf from scratch, they will appreciate a thrifted mid-century coffee table that\u2019s updated with a fresh coat of paint. Clients will always appreciate one-of-a-kind pieces that won\u2019t break the bank![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”8718″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” delay=”250″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0 Invest for the long-haul<\/h3>\nThat being said, while some d\u00e9cor pieces should be changed from time to time (such as that seasonal throw on the loveseat), others should be mainstays that anchor the room indefinitely.\n\nMake sure that your clients are 100% on-board with the major furniture pieces for the space. If they are not absolutely sure that the design, size, textile, or any other dimension is something that they love, they may regret dropping big bucks on them in the future. They may even come to resent the space! Never make your client feel unwelcome or unhappy in their own home. Pieces such as the dining room table and the sofa are just some of the items that are pricey upfront, but will stand the test of time and ultimately pay for themselves![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0 Take decorating risks<\/h3>\nThe ninth and final item on our list is arguably the most important! TAKE RISKS! The field of interior decorating requires professionals to continuously innovate and stay at the top of their game. Adapting to a dynamic environment of changing trends and seasons means you must be willing to go outside your comfort zone!\n\nThat being said, make sure you take calculated <\/em>decorating risks! It\u2019s never a good idea to make an outrageous decision just because you can! Your clients should always be at the forefront of your mind. Consult with them along the way and take risks together![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
