Discover your design philosophy to create deeply personal spaces
Independent beautiful pieces of home décor must come together to create harmony, not clutter. It’s design philosophy that brings the much-needed design harmony.
Converging on a desired design style isn’t difficult. But achieving design harmony is.
When colour, texture, and other interior design elements are combined in a specific way, several styles emerge, including traditional, rustic, industrial, and modern. Brick red colour, for example, is considered traditional or rustic if it reminds you of terracotta. Similarly, polished Italian marble flooring provides a super smooth and reflective surface, making it an excellent choice for creating a modern design.
It is easy to choose an appealing colour or select a comfortable texture. Most homeowners, however, find it difficult to incorporate other design elements such as forms or shapes, lines and patterns, and lighting.
Also, you may need additional help in combining disparate design choices. Will independent selections finally create clutter? Will everything come together in harmony? Is your chosen style representative of your personality?
It's design philosophy that binds every piece of home decor in harmony
A good home interior design is nothing more than creating spaces with your preferences in terms of colour, texture, forms/shapes, lines, patterns, and lighting. The key to a great design, however, is harmony – a common theme that binds together all elements to conform to one of several design styles: rustic, traditional, modern, industrial, eclectic, and bohemian.
Design philosophy is arriving at that common theme that binds everything in harmony. It is deeply rooted in your personality and lifestyle.
For example, you may adopt minimalism if ‘less is more’ is your way of life – say how much you buy to eat; how many things appear in your living room. Contrarily, if you’re a globetrotter who likes collecting beautiful pieces of home décor from each of your visits, you may like embracing maximalism. If you value ‘usability’ more than ‘aesthetics,’ you can let function over form design philosophy drive your interior designing.
It would have been clear by now that it’s your personality and lifestyle that lends a design philosophy. That design philosophy gives your home a character that resonates with you.
Discovering your design philosophy is however not an easy task. You can get into a cocoon, ponder on this for days and emerge enlightened or you can register for a good design workshop that may accelerate this pursuit.
