This presentation from http://www.onestopinteriors.co.uk provides a few pointers on the best interior design practices for bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms.
2. WHAT IS GREAT INTERIOR DESIGN?
• Good Interior Design involves:
• Considering the Space Available
• Good Use of Appropriate Colours
• Use of Attractive and Suitable Furniture
• Environmentally Responsible Sourcing
3. BEDROOM INTERIOR DESIGN
• Keep it minimal – include only what’s essential
• Try neutral colours and one accent colour
• Go for simple furniture for a sense of space
• Clever use of mirrors makes rooms seem bigger
• Keep as much open space as possible
• This all makes for a peaceful bedroom!
4. LIVING ROOM INTERIOR DESIGN
• Keep things simple, warm and cozy
• Set up spaces where people can talk
• Try to avoid pointing all furniture at the TV –
this can be seen as antisocial
• Use warm colours for a welcome feeling
• Place plants for a calm organic environment
• Place art on the walls, and make use of rugs
and carpets on wooden floors for warmth
5. DINING ROOM INTERIOR DESIGN
• This room is meant for social activity –
mealtimes, parties and family gatherings
• Have a large table as the central point
• Accentuate the room with candles for a
cozy, intimate feeling
• Add a radio but don’t add a TV
• Don’t be afraid to use strong colours on
one feature wall
