Designer Interiors and Designer Furniture – Putting the Finishing Touches into Your Home
Designer interiors and designer furniture are about more than just looking good. They are there to make your home feel like your home, rather than just a building you happen to live in.
Even the nicest place isn’t quite the place you call home until you have been able to put your stamp on it. Often, that doesn’t happen for a few years – and then you start to move slowly through the rooms, changing this piece of furniture, adding that lamp. Before you know where you are designer interiors and designer furniture have changed the humble abode into the place you love to be in.
One of the most important pieces of designer furniture is the lamp. Light plays a huge part in our lives. Too much of it or too little can both be extremely harmful (in sever circumstances obviously) – and on a smaller scale, the proper lighting at the proper time, in the right room, creates a feeling of cosiness and safety few other things can provide.
Lighting design is so important to the designed interior that you should think about it from an early stage of your project. Whether you are simply adding one or two pieces of furniture to a room, or completely overhauling your place with designer interiors and designer furniture, top to bottom: you need to take account of the effect different styles of lighting will have.
A lamp is a beautiful and versatile way to add more to your home. Coloured glass is very in at the moment; if you mix and match a few coloured lampshades on different stand styles, you can create a wonderful “menagerie” look, reminiscent of a Victorian collector’s hideaway. Or you can opt for paper lightshades with a variety of stark modern or ornate classical pedestals, which when used in unison give a spacious and smart feel to a designed room.
Designer interiors and designer furniture, of course, go together like a horse and carriage. Tables; sideboards and cabinets; even mirrors – all of them have something to say about you, your home and the space you surround yourself with.
Create a larger space in a smaller room with a couple of designer mirrors. Placed correctly, they will open out the room without ever giving that disorienting “corridor of mirrors” effect. You can even use designer mirrors in conjunction with your lighting design to reflect lights – for instance by angling a mirror in the corner of a room you can catch reflections of coloured lightshades or fairy lights artfully strung.
Designer interiors and designer furniture need not necessarily be prohibitively expensive either. It is possible to create a space of your own using a mixture of bespoke and pre-made designer furniture, within many budget ranges – all you have to remember to do is give your designer a figure before you start, and stick to it.
More and more of us are choosing to take one property, settle down with it and have it as a house for life. By designing our interiors to live in, we’re bringing them back to life.
Albert Jakeman Frost used Designer furniture on all thirteen of his hotel rooms to ensure that each room was of the highest quality, and was subsequently upgraded to a three star hotel the very same year.
