Interior design goes beyond the act of furnishing a room; it is the art and science of transforming spaces to improve function, comfort, and beauty. At Armando Interior, we are of the mind that to master the basics of interior design is to do spaces justice, which in turn we do for yours. Whether you are doing a home interior makeover, a luxury renovation, or a full-scale residential design, we have the elements at hand that will guide you towards a space that truly is a reflection of home.
In all elements of design, from the classic to the contemporary, each piece has a role to play in that which we create a balanced and harmonious space.
At the base of great interior design is how we use space. This means to balance voids with fullness, to have enough room to move around while still maintaining a sense of cosiness. Also, we think about the flow of traffic, the placement of furniture, and the visual balance between elements.
In the field of home renovation ideas, a professional room planner can transform is that of space, which they do in amazing ways, from making small spaces appear larger to creating open and airy environments without giving up comfort. Also, if you are after an open plan living area or a more traditional separated layout, space planning is the first step in achieving a functional home.
In every room, straight design elements are used to put focus on peace and stability, as in home interior design, we see how horizontal lines do that very well. Also, we have vertical lines which bring an element of height and grand scale. For a soft feel and motion that welcomes you in the space, we use curved lines.
In terms of design, which elements you put your lines into plays a large role in a space’s unity. In a contemporary living space with neat, straight lines, you get that minimalist design aesthetic; however, when organic shapes present themselves in furniture and accessories, a cosier and very at-home atmosphere is created.
In terms of what we see and touch, form is the shape and structure of objects in a space. In luxury interior design, forms may range from large-scale geometry to natural flowing curves. In which we put these elements together, the choice of forms is key to creating interest in the room, but at the same time, not to overdo it.
For instance, we see that a clean-lined coffee table in marble with sharp edges adds a contemporary touch; at the same time, a padded round ottoman can bring in some softness to the design. In balance between different forms is what makes a design dynamic yet still put together, which you will see in a living room, bedroom, or dining area.
Lighting is a fundamental element in residential interior design. It changes how a room appears as well as how it feels. Natural light introduces warmth and energy, also artificial lighting may be used to set various moods.
Ambient light is used for overall illumination, task light pays attention to specific areas, and accent light is for drawing out architectural details or artwork. In high-end homes, we see features like recessed lighting, pendant fixtures, and LED strips, which bring a touch of luxury to the space and, in turn, elevate it.
Colour in your space sets the mood and also plays a large role in which feelings are brought out. In the world of interior design, we see that which palette you choose is about more than which colours go on the wall or the curtains — it is about telling a consistent story.
Warm tones of terracotta and gold bring out a sense of cosiness and welcome in a room; at the same time, cool shades of blue and grey produce a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. In a neutral colour scheme, which includes textural elements, your space will take on a minimalistic design quality; at the same time, it keeps the area elegant and free of clutter.
Texture is what brings out the character in a space and makes it feel rich and full of dimension. In today’s modern design, we see the trend of combining elements like polished stone, soft fabrics, natural wood, and metal finishes to create a balanced but very visual environment.
In some cases, a velvet sofa is paired with a sleek glass coffee table, which brings in contrast and elegance. In kitchens and bathrooms, we see that textured tiles or natural stone backsplashes add to the sensory element, which in turn improves the visual appeal of the room.
Furniture is the base for any interior design, and accessories add personality to the space. In terms of choice of furniture, it should fit the room’s scale, function, and style. In large rooms, go for statement pieces; in small spaces multi multi-functional furniture is the way to go.
Accessories like art, throw pillows, area rugs, and decor pieces that you add in allow you to put your touch on a room without going overboard. A great mix of form and function makes your home look beautiful but also very livable.
