The holidays have come to an end, which means returning to routine and adapting to new changes, in which our home plays a fundamental role in our daily lives, being our refuge and where we spend a large part of our time.
Often, we do not give enough importance to the layout of our home, but several factors, such as functionality, harmony, balance and lighting, are decisive in creating an environment that makes us feel at home.
A well-designed environment can contribute significantly to reducing stress and improving our quality of life.
We invite you to continue reading this blog to learn about some of the aspects to consider in this process, which together with the help of a professional will help you achieve the home of your dreams.
FUNCTIONALITY
Every customer is unique, and with that, so are their needs and requirements. What may be functional for one person may not be for another.
Our role as interior designers is to listen carefully to how our client lives in their home, to get to know their routines, habits and preferences, as this information is key to creating a design that is not only aesthetically appealing, but also perfectly suited to their lifestyle.
By understanding the particularities of each client, we can translate that functionality into design, ensuring that each space fulfils its purpose and improves the quality of life of those who inhabit it.
HARMONY
Harmony is the balanced combination of elements that creates a cohesive and pleasant environment.
Several factors must be taken into account to achieve a harmonious space.
The correct proportion of furniture and decorative elements in relation to the space can generate a relaxed and gratifying vision or on the contrary a disproportionate and incoherent space.
Combining different textures in a balanced way can add depth and visual interest without clashing.
Choosing a colour palette that complements each other can create a perception of unity and harmony.
A balanced environment can generate feelings of calm, comfort and happiness.
PROPORTION AND SCALE
These two concepts affect the aesthetics and functionality of space. Proportion refers to the relationship between the dimensions of elements, while scale relates to the size of objects in comparison to their surroundings. These two concepts together create balanced, harmonious and comfortable spaces.
The importance of considering the scale of elements in relation to the size of the room. An oversized sofa in a small room can make the space feel cluttered, while small furniture in a large room can seem insignificant.
They can also help create focal points in a room. For example, a large piece of furniture can serve as a focal point, while smaller items can complement and balance the space.
LIGHTING
Lighting is the perennial forgotten item for many users, for us it is a key point when designing both indoor and outdoor spaces.
It is fundamental to create a welcoming and functional environment allowing them to feel warm or intense as needed. Good lighting facilitates daily tasks, enhances aesthetics by highlighting decorative elements.
Incorporating different types of lighting (general, ambient and spot) provides flexibility to adapt spaces to different activities.
These are some of the points to keep in mind for the correct development of a reform.
