5 Things an Interior Designer Notices

Ever wonder what interior designers notice when they step into a space? It's not just about style, it's about creating a room that works. Here are 5 things our designers instantly pick up on:

1.The Layout: Does the room flow? We look for walkways, how the furniture is arranged and whether you can truly appreciate all the details of the space. If things feel cramped or off-balance, we take note!

2. The little details: Are the lamp shades straight? Is the rug the right size? Does the space feel complete? It's often the small things that make a room feel finished and we're all about those final touches.

3. Lighting: Lighting is everything! We look for more then just ceiling lights. Is there a mix of lamps, hanging fixtures and ambient lighting? And don't forget about the temperature of your lighting. The correct kelvin in your light bulbs can make or break the mood, colors and even how people look in the room.

4. Window Treatments: draperies and shades can make a huge impact! We notice if they're the right size and style. Do they add to the room or feel out of place? A great window treatment can take a room to the next level while a poor window treatment can bring a room down.

5. What brings a smile: Every room tells a story and we love finding those personalized touches. Whether it's a family photo, unique piece of art, a special fabric or something quirky, those personal pieces make every room feel like home.
