2. Important factors to consider when designing interiors

There are many factors to consider when designing an interior, but SmartDecor will show you the main factors that you need to grasp to have a living space that is true to your style and personality. In addition, these important factors also have the effect of supporting each other to highlight the characteristics as well as cover up the shortcomings and mistakes in architectural design.

Space

Space is a basic but extremely important factor in interior design. You need to have an overview to know what advantages and disadvantages your design has. If the design space is wrong or distorted, it is really difficult to change, so make the most of what we have. Interior designs show us a 3-dimensional view (length, width, height) to arrange that space in a minimalist, classic style or in a style that you like.

Space can be divided into two types: solid and empty space. Solid space is where furniture, decorations, and electrical equipment are placed. Empty space (also known as open space, traffic route), has no or very few objects. Therefore, the harmonious combination of solid and empty space will make the room aesthetically pleasing, avoiding the feeling of clutter, excess or lack of furniture. Therefore, depending on your choice, interior designers will arrange and measure the size of the furniture to suit the design style you like.

Shape

Horizontal, vertical and dynamic lines together create the overall shape of the room and direct our vision. Knowing how to combine lines created by furniture can create a unified or contrasting space. 

Horizontal lines are created from dining tables, living room tables and other surfaces. Horizontal lines create a sense of stability, balance and formality. In interior design, horizontal lines make the space seem wider and longer. But if they are overused, they will create a boring and uninnovative feeling.

Vertical lines make a space feel taller, including windows and doors. They are often used in dining room lamps, entryways and office spaces. Unlike horizontal lines, too many vertical lines can make a homeowner feel insecure and anxious.

Dynamic lines include diagonal lines, zigzags, curves, etc. Stairs represent dynamic lines, they create a sense of movement and energy. They are visually stimulating and attract more attention than the other two lines, but too many dynamic lines will make the space confusing, overwhelming the horizontal and vertical lines.

Shape

Objects, decorative motifs or chandeliers hanging on the dining table also need to be carefully selected and calculated. The shape of the room and the objects in the room need to be in harmony. Objects must have similar proportions, correlation or symmetry in size as well as material with the design space.

This is also the reason why people often create spaces and objects in many different shapes such as squares, circles, hexagons, octagons or solid or hollow blocks to create uniqueness and create a sense of different highlights. A beautiful space needs to have a main form that runs throughout, repeating frequently through different dimensions, including the smallest objects.

Light 

This is the factor that helps your space become more sparkling and harmonious. Using natural light or artificial light to create a perfect design drawing is a process that consumes a lot of brainpower of interior designers in general. Because it affects the interior layout to be reasonable and suitable for function and purpose of use.

Light is divided into many different types such as: natural light (from the sun), light for landscape lighting (for lighting purposes), accent light (for highlighting the subject), thematic light (expressing mood, weather, temperature, etc.). For example, an office space needs white light so that employees can see clearly and work effectively. On the other hand, the living room space in the family can use softer colored light. Using lights with adjustable intensity and light area will make the space more customizable, usable for many different purposes.

Color

Did you know, according to psychologists, colors have a visual effect that evokes a certain mood or feeling. For example, red creates a feeling of hunger so it is often used in the kitchen, blue and green will make us feel peaceful and gentle so they are used in the bedroom, etc.

When choosing a color for a space, the first step is to clearly define the function and activities that will take place. Second, consider how natural and artificial light affects the color of the space day and night, and whether it reflects the message the owner wants to convey. Finally, consider the size of the room. Designers often use bright white colors for small spaces to create a more airy and spacious feeling. Dark colors will create accents for large spaces.

Material

Materials are the elements that create the feeling when in direct contact with the surface. They are often overlooked and not given too much attention, making the feeling of space limited. If the interior designers are professional, they will know how to apply and have the ability to create a surprising difference for the space. Like the combination of colors and patterns, choosing good materials will create sophistication. The feeling of smoothness, roughness, and ruggedness, etc. are all expressed through the materials.

Materials are perceived in two ways: visual and tactile. Visual materials often come from decorative patterns on walls, carpets, sofas, etc. Tactile materials include the plush fabric on a sofa, which you have to sit on to feel the softness of the fabric. Materials are all the furniture we put into a space and create unity, contrast, aesthetics or counterproductivity. So we need to carefully consider the issue of materials in space.
