Additionally, it should also make the customer smile. Comfort level with the designs is also a criterion for a designer implementing certain designs clients. Rooms should not be overly designed. Go with designs that aesthetically fit the rooms you have to design. Certain design schemes fit certain rooms based on their utility. Therefore, the furniture and the accessories should be fitting the design scheme prepared based on the utility of the room.

2. Be Bold

Personality is one thing that makes a space great. The designer needs to create his own signature in his design scheme.

Unexpected design elements like unconventional furniture pieces, oversize accessories may create the much-needed awe effect.

Go out of your way in selecting suitable colors and furniture pieces, which stand out among a crowd of furniture items.

3. Add Layers of Lighting

In a room, which is subjected to evenly provided lighting, nothing will stand out. Try to highlight areas of the room, which need attention, in your design scheme. This highlighting can be done by providing spotlights on those areas. Normally, a good designer tends to create intrigue by introducing layers of lighting. When the lighting scheme is decided, certain areas in the room should stand out. You need to pick two or three focal points and highlight them using lighting. You can also add general ambient lighting and some lower lighting like table lamps, which may interest you.

What looks good in the store, when you buy it, may look gregarious when you try to place it in your room. Alternatively, it may be too tiny to be of significance in the room you want to place it. So, always try to vary scale and proportion of the furniture. A designer should always try to insert groups of three or five objects in their designs so that they create pleasing arrangements than even numbers. The scale should be in comparison to the room for which you are designing the décor. Some rooms may look good with minimal furniture accessories, whereas some others may require many furniture items, based on their utility.

Let other items of décor take a secondary role around the focal point. If everybody takes a leading role in a design scheme, it will result in too much visual noise. A focal point may be a dramatic chimney in the kitchen, a headboard in the bedroom or for that matter, a fireplace in the living room. Once you create a focal point, try to enhance its beauty by providing supporting design elements to it.
