These 10 aspects are key for your interior

Tastes differ and there are many styles to decorate your home. Yet there are ten aspects that define every interior and that interior design experts immediately focus on. Keep these in mind and bring out the best in your interior. #1: How the room is lit The ambience in a room is determined by lighting. The natural incidence of light is very important here. Windows in the house at the right places work wonders. Unfortunately, you cannot do much about the natural incidence of light, unless you build or renovate yourself. Nevertheless, a dining table in natural marble can make a big difference thanks to the reflective effect of light falling on the table. Mirrors also have an illuminating effect in the home. Artificial lighting is also important. It's recommended to provide variation: combine a wall light, a hanging lamp, a ceiling lamp, a table lamp, … Different light sources improve the ambience in your home and ensure cosiness. #2: The placement of your furniture The right furniture composition is very important for the look of your home. It's often suggested, for example, not to put the sofa against the wall. However, it's a shame to be in a smaller room and wasting space by placing your sofa in the middle of the room. However, if you have a large open living space, you can move your sofa into the middle of the room. This avoids dead space in the middle of your living room and creates an inviting seating area. Keeping the right distance between your sofa and the other furniture is important. It's all about nice balance, so that you create a good social sitting area. #3: Brightening flowers Small aspects such as a bouquet of flowers on the table or on the cabinet will make your house truly your home. The scent will immediately make you dream away and it will give colour to every room. Do you have a small budget or don't want to buy fresh flowers all the time? Then dried flowers are a worthy alternative. #4: Cosy cushions on your sofa Two decorative cushions on the sofa - that's not very stylish. With cushions, you can certainly apply the mix and match principle. The more, the better! Combine different patterns and create a cosy sitting area you want to sink into. #5: The bookcase layout The placement and arrangement of your books in the cabinet define your home image. People with bookcases that are crammed with books, often don't read those books and see this purely as a decorative item. A cabinet that sporadically contains some books is very stylish and will give an educated effect. #6: The choice of materials Homes that use sustainable materials and have clearly invested in, for example, woodwork, will score highly among interior experts. With materials such as marble, terrazzo and wood you really have to invest, because it will pay off forever. #7: Prevailing unity Homes where there is unity in choice of materials and style, and where the overall look is very apparent, appear much more elegant. Do you use marble? Then use a few accents of this type of marble in each room. Choosing oak? Do not deviate from this too often and use oak throughout the house. There must also be unity with the inhabitant. Design is so personal that spaces must reflect the people who live there. #8: What's on the walls Wall art gives the interior of your home an interesting boost. What you hang on your walls is important, but so is how you do it. So the art is not only in the wall art itself, but also in hanging it up. Finding the right composition is not always easy, but it's very important. Want to combine several works? Want to add photographs? These are all things that you need to think about carefully beforehand. Lay the composition out on the ground, so that you do not have to drill and fill unnecessary holes. #9: The aromas in the house Interior decorators don't like an overwelming smell and notice it as soon as they step inside. The more, the better, does not apply to scented candles and diffusers. It immediately seems as if people are trying to hide something. So leave that third scented candle as decoration! #10: Attention for the exterior Not everything revolves around the interior; a well thought-out exterior is also important. A garden should become a real green paradise and the terrace should be ready for summer. Interior and exterior must fit together seamlessly. The relationship between the building and nature is very important to find harmony in the overall project. After all, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Therefore, use plenty of natural materials in your interior.
