Color and style advice

Aug10

People often know that the colors of their homes represent their personalities, but the wide range of color hues can easily become frightening and disturbing.
It’s a fact: colors are the most flexible elements of the look and feel and aesthetics of our home. Flexibility is provided by the thousands of different color hues. A color can connect and align all elements in a given room to each other.
What is not well known, what colors are the best choices for a given room or functionality, and how color hues effect our feelings and behavior.
Of course, unique taste and current fashion can strongly determine the colors to be chosen with pleasure in someone’s home. Anyhow, lots of other aspects should be considered (e.g.: existing and remaining elements, orientation, etc.). Therefore, the choice of a decorator color can be most successfully accomplished with the help of a professional interior designer.
The style of the flat is also important. Most people think, that this has no sense and fully enough to dump lots of objects they like in one place. Harmony of the home can be reached more easily, if objects are grouped by a theme / color / collection or any other dominant element. If anyone has a specific idea of the style, but not sure how to implement it, or just doesn’t know how to give style to the home, an interior designer can help.
After detailed survey of the flat, house or just one room, the possibilities of changing colors or style will be discussed with the owner. As a result of this process, the most optimal combination can be reached. After the consultation, there are two options for the owner to proceed:
– Documentation only
– Common implementation

Home staging

Aug3

Home staging nowadays is a wide spread technique at property sales, when a specialist prepares the estate to be sold. Determines the steps to be taken to show the flat at its most advantageous side.
The essence: to turn the interior in a state, which is desirable to the potential customers from the aspect of general taste and requirements. Good features should be emphasized, while bad ones should be covered.
Everyone would like to get the price of the estate instead of invest into it, but no one see it from the same aspect as the owner, who is full of positive preconceptions. Because of this, the mistakes of the property may not be realized. Anyhow, the potential buyer will notice them immediately. Estate agents believe, the first impression about the apartment plays a key role in the success of the sale. Potential purchaser in average decides if he needs the property or not – within 15 seconds from entering. With some modifications, the sale will be measurably more effective – both in time and money. The invested amount returns multiplied. According to the latest statistics, the ‘staged’ properties are sold in much shorter timeframe.
There are two options for the owner to chose from:

– Documentation only
– Common implementation

The interior designer

Jul27

Why should I call an interior designer? – Generally this is the first question occurring related to this job.
Because I can save significant cost. How so?
A good interior designer not only provides “some kind of look and feel” for the flat, but after careful planning, implements the most excellent interior based on the exact needs of the owner and the characteristics of the apartment. Removes most of the burden from the owners during the process. Organizes measurements, negotiations with experts, helps at searching the proper materials and controlling the works and so on. Problems encountering are also solved by the interior designer instead of kidnapping the owners time, of course with continuous negotiations.
According to my experience, owners usually calls for an interior designer too late, only when they realize they cannot cope alone with realizing their dreams. By that time, they have invested lots of time and money – sometimes in vain – in an activity, which has no satisfying result for them. Structural works, sometime tiling is done already which is hard or sometimes impossible to change. In ideal case, the interior designer is involved the process at the planning phase and the result will be formed common with the architect, the implementers and the owner as well.

Wallpaper

Using wallpaper is popular again in the recent years, thanks to the good quality and exclusive assortment. Designers create their new patterns following the fashion and their color usage adjusts to this also. However, the manufacturing companies still have wide range of wallpapers for the classic style lovers, the truly outstanding companies – in the case of a customer order – reproduce a product from their decades-old books with pleasure also.
Wallpaper can be used on walls or on the ceiling, all over the surface or creating a focal point, or even as decoration on furniture and doors also. It is practical to ask for a sample in the shop before purchasing, this way the effect can be seen in the light of our home. Since the samples are small, in the case of bigger patterns the final effect is upon our imagination. Further showy solutions can be reached by combining painting and wallpapering. Some high-quality manufacturers use their own paints for their wallpapers, this way no need to go from shop to shop with the samples, since the ordered colors will perfectly match.
Always buy the glue recommended by the manufacturer for the wallpaper and strictly follow the instruction manual when applying. If the job is done by a professional, all information should be given to him. The technique to be used depends on the material, thickness and pattern of the wallpaper. If the wall is uneven, it has to be plastered and grinded before wallpapering, only this can provide nice result.
The size of the wallpaper’s pattern is as determining as its color. The scale effects the total result. For example, too large pattern can be easily overwhelming in a small bedroom and can affect a more narrowing feeling, however a small and dense pattern can be lost in a spacious living room and it is enjoyable only at close.
It is also a much simpler process to choose wallpaper with a help of an interior designer, we can trust in his/her skills as to colors and patterns. With his/her 3D visualization we don’t have to rely on our imagination, how the chosen wallpaper will show in our home.
