Design 101: Interior Design Basics with MWF

As a leading provider of window treatments in the greater metropolitan area, we often get asked about interior design basics. While every home is different, some general principles apply to most spaces. Here are some of our top tips for creating a space that looks and feels luxurious, professional, and pulled together.

Assess Your Space

The first step in any interior design project is to assess the existing space. Take measurements of the room and note any architectural features that cannot be changed, such as fireplaces or built-in shelving. Once you understand the physical space you’re working with, it’s time to consider furniture placement and layout.

Identify the Room’s Function

Consider how you want the room to flow and what functions you want it to serve. For example, do you want a dedicated work area in your home office? Or would you prefer a more relaxed living room setup? Once you have a general layout idea, you can start thinking about specific furniture pieces.

Select the Right Furniture

When selecting furniture, it’s essential to consider both form and function. A piece may be beautiful, but it’s not worth purchasing if it doesn’t serve a purpose or fit well in the space. Likewise, a functional piece of furniture won’t do much to improve the overall look of a room if it’s not attractive.

Accessorize Your Space

Finally, don’t forget the details! Small accessories and decor items can make all the difference in tying a space together and giving it personality. Mirrors, artwork, and throw pillows are great ways to add visual interest and comfort to a room.
