Basics of home interior decoration

We know that design and decoration is a science and a study in itself that is taught as a separate branch in universities, and we all dream of a dazzling and very elegant home, so in this article we will learn about the most important tips and basics of home interior decoration.

Adding personality to furniture

The home is considered the safe haven that we resort to after a long day full of work and difficulties, and it is the place that makes us feel calm and belonging. Therefore, when thinking about changing the décor, we must give serious thought to choosing pieces that are in line with the personality of the residents of the home.

Choose colors

Colors are the important element that revives a place and stimulates activity in it, and each color has its connotations and psychological impact, so before starting to choose the colors of the walls or furniture, we will introduce you to the patterns of choosing colors.

Contrasting colours

Working on this point requires boldness and courage. It is based on the idea of ​​choosing opposite colors in the color circle, such as red and green, with the possibility of adding complementary colors to them by mixing them with each other in varying proportions, or choosing the principle of triple harmony, which is based on the concept of choosing three opposite colors, such as green. Orange and purple.

Gradient colors (pyramid)

This process does not require as much audacity and courage as the previous idea, but rather it is based on two principles: Adjacent colors, such as choosing blue as a primary color and two colors adjacent to it, which are bluish-green and bluish-violet. The second principle is to choose a neutral color and then two colors derived from it, such as choosing white and combining it with black and grey.

Unit

Unity is another point of the basics of home interior decoration. It does not necessarily mean symmetry or consistency in pieces of furniture or engravings and paintings in the same place, but the general view must suggest continuity and there must be common points through which the eye moves from one place to another, such as painting the walls in one color. Or the flooring is the same type of material used in furniture in all rooms.

Here, another point must be taken into account, which is the suitability of the furniture pieces to the space they occupy, such as choosing pieces whose sizes are proportional to the area of ​​the room, so as not to create an uncomfortable atmosphere filled with many unnecessary items.

Balance

The idea of ​​balance as one of the basics of home interior decoration is divided into several branches.

Symmetrical balance

It is a style devoid of innovation, based on the principle of designing the room as if it were divided into two completely identical parts, as if there was an imaginary line passing between them. This principle is considered attractive and comfortable, but for a very short period of time, as the person soon feels bored, due to the presence of the element of routine and repetition in the arrangement of paintings, furnishings, and other materials used.

Asymmetric balance

It is called active balance, and one of its advantages is that it allows the use of pieces of different sizes and weights in one room, and it also suggests spaciousness, such as mixing warm colors such as red, orange and yellow with cool colors such as blue, green and purple, or mixing between pieces of furniture, where the visual weight of the piece plays a role. This principle plays a big role, such as choosing a satin or wood chair with a glass table, as the visual weight of glass is lighter than the visual weight of wood and satin, which makes mixing them create an asymmetrical space, but at the same time not boring and very attractive.

Radiant balance

It is based on the idea of ​​choosing an imaginary point, and then furniture pieces are arranged around it, which is what we often find in the entrances of large homes.

Create suitable storage spaces

There are many storage ideas for small properties that are important to many people, such as installing high shelves on the walls, to help store a lot of daily supplies and not have them in front of our eyes, causing a knee in the room.

Lighting

 Lighting in the home is one of the most important elements and basics of home interior decoration, as it revives and refreshes the internal atmosphere in the place. There are three types of artificial lighting : Directional lighting , task lighting and mood lighting .

Task lighting can be used for dining tables and bedside table lamps, while directional lighting is that used to highlight works of art, sculptures, etc. Mood lighting improves visibility and adds liveliness to the place.

Important decorative pieces

A touch of luxury and freshness can be added to the interior atmosphere of the home through flowers, candles, or artistic paintings that are placed at eye level to create another dimension in the place.
