You are trying to replicate a design that can’t be replicated without knowing the “insider” secrets. There are principles of good interior design that never are revealed by the shelter magazines, and they won’t! If you knew these principles which all professional decorators and designers apply, you wouldn’t be subscribing to home decor magazines, excepts perhaps for design inspiration or resources! Talented designers and decorators know all of these principles, and apply them from the planning stage of a project through to completion. You can spend hundreds of dollars investing in shelter magazine subscriptions, and not know any more from your first magazine to the latest issue. So, how do you start? Even if you simply want to rearrange your furniture, redesign your living room utilizing what you have on hand, or stage your home for resale, these same principles that designers use are applicable to these tasks as well.
So, to help you along, we will be going back to the basics of these design principles, let’s call it Interior Design 101. Each week, we will be addressing these “well kept secrets”. Stay tuned, and feel free to blog us with any questions!
