INTERIOR DESIGNERS
are very creative, artistic and imaginative. They have to be organised, skilled and disciplined business practitioners. By combining knowledge with tasteful vision, interior creators work with customers and other configuration experts in order to create design solutions that are protective, practical, appealing and address the issues of individuals who will utilise the space. Many people use the terms “interior design” and “interior decorating” interchangeably, but these two professions differ in critical ways. Interior design is the art and science of understanding people’s behaviour in order to create functional spaces within a building. Decoration is furnishing or adorning a space with fashionable or attractive items. In short, interior designers may decorate, but decorators do not do design. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that uses creative and technical solutions within a structure in order to achieve a constructed interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhancing the quality of life and culture of the occupants, as well as being attractive aesthetically. Designs are created in response to the building shell and coordinated accordingly, while acknowledging the physical location and social context of
the project. Designs must adhere to building codes and regulatory requirements, as well as encouraging the principles of environmental sustainability. The interior design process follows a systemic and coordinated methodology that includes research, analysis and the integration of knowledge into creative processes. This methodology includes a wide range of tasks, including: • Determining and satisfying clients and building codes • Creating visual representations and conceptual spatial plans • Recommending finishes and mat rials • Preparing interior construction documents We all have a vision of how the space where we live or work (or both) should look, but a problem arises when this vision has to be converted into a living space in which we will sit, work, rest, sleep, eat, or simply – live. From initial idea to execution, and from vision to beautifully decorated offices or apartments, the road goes from interior designers, whose task is to translate that which we have imagined into reality. In this issue of CorD we are gift-
ing you a little booklet with many ideas, creativity and directions that you might find useful if you decide to convert your apartment, house or office into a space for enjoyment.
OFFICE
An office is a place for professional team members to share moments and knowledge. Gone are the days when workplaces were ordinarily cubicles, encompassed by white walls and lit by bright white lights. Thanks to corporate giants like Google and Pixar, which have made huge accomplishments despite having unusual working environments, more individuals are grasping the concept that innovative workplaces help stimulate personalities and inspire innovation.
LIVING ROOM
Depending on the design of a home, a living room can serve in various capacities. If a home has a family room it is frequently a formal sitting zone. If it is the living space, it is also utilised for sitting in front of the TV, playing games and spending time with the family. Regardless

of its primary purpose, these large spaces always have a comfortable couch or other seating, a coffee table and a place where people can come together. As this room serves a variety of purposes, one should be sure to incorporate plenty of shelves, cupboards and drawers. Built-in wardrobes are the most ideal approach to this, since they occupy less room and are regularly modified to meet the needs of occupants. A built-in entertainment centre is a great option for housing your TV, music centre or little gadgets, while bookshelves keep your books and picture frames in line. A working area, booth or expansive table can act as an art station or homework spot, while a window seat can instantly become a go-to reading or rest station.
BEDROOM
The bedroom is where we go to reenergise and rest following long days of work and to recover from the stress of daily life. In order to properly serve its purpose, a bedroom must be like our personality and must make us feel the way we should, yet it should also be composed with style, without being packed with pointless stuff that would counter the idea of it being an open, exclusive retreat. Many individuals believe they know how to design a bedroom interior attractively, but could they make it awesome? There are hundreds of bedroom designs to choose from.
KIDS ROOM
For a kid, their room is more than just a place to rest. It is a place to do schoolwork, play games, listen to music, sprawl on the floor, make a mess, read, manufacture models, indulge in fantasy, host friends and store countless belongings. Such rooms must be arranged precisely in 4 |

order to serve all of the aforementioned functions, as well as being agreeable and welcoming. Decorating a kids room does not mean scrimping on style. In fact, this task opens up an entire new world of energising design possibilities, even for little spaces. It’s the ideal reason to be as strong or enchanting as the occupant wishes. Whether a boy’s or a girl’s room or nursery, we’ve discovered some astounding kids room ideas – from furniture to accessories to wall decorations.
KITCHEN
A cutting edge kitchen interior design doesn’t need to be entrusted to a top interior designer – any individual can do their own decorating, provided they have a broad view in mind and a couple of good kitchen outline ideas from which to draw motivation.
D E S I G N
Designing a kitchen is a standout among the most widely recognised redesign extensions in homes today, as well as being an element that can have a critical impact on resale appeal. What’s more, since a normal householder will spend a huge amount of money to do a major kitchen design, it’s essential that it be done right.
BATHROOM
The bathroom may often be the smallest room in the house, but it is also one of the easiest to update with some new accessories. Creating a useful, storage-friendly bathroom may be exactly what a home

needs. Considering the amount of time spent in the bathroom, it should be ensured that each design element has a purpose and it is useful to consider space saving accommodation. The bathroom can truly pack a punch when it comes to the interior scheme. There are amazing sanitary ware varieties to choose from, whether fittings are smooth and modern, excellent and cus-
tomary, or anything in between. Bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes, from the smallest water closet tucked away in a corner, to en suite wet rooms and shower rooms and full-sized and magnificent family bathrooms. Regardless the size of a bathroom, there must be planning and budgeting for

GARDEN
the same fundamentals: ventilation, heating, storage, lighting, flooring, ceramics, shower, WC, basin/s, bathtub etc.
BALCONY
In city apartments, the balcony may be the main outdoor space where people can enjoy some fresh, natural air. Thanks to this space, people can enjoy the open-air, while it also enables them to relax under the sun without leaving their home. Designing a balcony may be something that people never gave much attention. However, once they truly plan their design they will find the balcony prominent in their plans. People require a place to relax and enjoy the breeze, so don’t over-burden the spot with heaps of furniture. On the off chance that the balcony is extensive, then one can include a little dining area to enjoy awesome family suppers outside in the fresh air. Including a few plants and flowers is truly an imperative for balconies; they complement the design of the balcony and enhance its beauty greatly. 6 |

A garden is never completed; it is a creation that advances from year-to-year and season-to-season. Experienced gardeners are very much aware of this reality and even come to enjoy the transience of their landscaping. If a plant exceeds its past home, or performs insufficiently, they enjoy selecting a substitute. At the point when the seasons meet, they enjoy seeing distinctive plants take centre stage, while meeting the challenge of dry seasons or other extreme climatic conditions is also enjoyable. Gardeners are continually tinkering, always enhancing, continually envisaging. When one area of their property is finished, they move to another, ultimately rotating back for adjustment. Designing a garden may be a fun or relaxing experience. Colourful flowers, Green labyrinths, water fountains, small ponds, cobblestone pathways, and small circles of trees adjoining around a garden - all of these represent essential elements that can create a wonderful environment.

Psychology of Colours
START SMALL
Colour is a powerful influence on our daily lives. By understanding the psychology of colour, which identifies the psychological effects individual colours have on our minds and bodies, we can design rooms that foster health, well-being and prosperity The “buzz” about colour is usually called “colour psychology.” But the effects of colour are subtle and significant; physical and psychological. Colour use is not something that results in a definitive equation between “colour and our moods,” as is a currently popular expression. Wherever we go we respond to colour, but the importance of colour is often underestimated. Colour use is important to us personally in our homes and in the places where we work.

If you’re not sure where to begin with colour, experiment in a bathroom, a small hall or area between rooms, or an accent wall. To get started, select a favourite colour drawn from artwork, a rug, dishes and an accessory or furniture piece as a main colour or accent.
THINK ABOUT YOUR MOOD
When selecting a colour, consider the mood of a room. In a bedroom do you want the feeling to be restful and soothing or dramatic and intimate? Soft, cool colours and neutrals usually create a quieter feeling while stronger colours are for drama. Dining area: Warmer, contrasting and somewhat brighter colours add to a sociable atmosphere; deeper blue-greens and neutrals will give a more formal ambiance. Kids rooms: Be careful not to overstimulate your children with intensely bright hues. You may not know it, but some brighter colours can lead to unrest and irritability.
PAY ATTENTION TO LIGHTING
D E S I G N
The reason why paint stores have light boxes is for you to test paint chips: • Natural daylight shows the truest colour; • Incandescent lighting brings out warm tones and yellows;
• Fluorescent lighting casts a sharp blue tone. So, a strong colour might be too bright and overpowering when used on all walls or next to a large window, but it might be effective when used as an accent wall with indirect light.
LEARN THE COLOUR TERMS
It helps to understand the terminology used to describe colour. • Hue is what we call a colour. Red is the hue; blue is the hue. • The value of the hue is how light or dark it is. • Saturation refers to how dominant the hue is. As we go from red to pink, the red hue becomes less dominant. • Intensity is the brilliance of the colour. The pure colours such as red are moreintense than the combined colours such as yellow-green. A stronger intense colour usually has a more dominant hue. If you want a more active space, consider introducing stronger, more intense colour. Even if you want a light-coloured room, choose colours that are slightly more saturated than off-white or light pastel. Very light colour can feel bright and stark when it appears on all surfaces in a room. However, two or more medium-light, closely related pastel colours can create a luminous effect when used in the same room.
TEST YOUR COLOUR CHOICE
Consider strong, vivid colours or soft, deep neutrals like chocolate brown or olive green as main or accent colours. Or add drama with a stronger colour on the ceiling. Tinted ceilings can dramatically change the whole look of a room.
ADD DEPTH WITH DECORATIVE FINISHES
Transform flat, dull walls into interesting and personal spaces with subtle or dramatic visual texture and broken colour. Burnished mineral/metal finishes and layered coloured glazes add depth.
WALK INTO ANOTHER ROOM
Consider walls as planes of colour, and see how they interact when viewing one next to the other in adjacent rooms. Approach it like a composition. So as you’re choosing colours, consider how they will flow from room to room to create your picture.
FOLLOW THE COLOUR WHEEL
A small colour wheel is a great reference tool for modifying and intensifying two or more colours. For example, red and green, which are complementary (opposite) colours, are most intense when used together. You may
be surprised to find how many combinations function beautifully together, and you may even become attracted to entirely new colour palettes. The colour wheel also illustrates the visual temperature of a colour.
MONOCHROMATIC SCHEMES
For example, use closely related colours, or try a single colour in different finishes, for walls and trim in one space. For an accent colour, select a warmer (more toward reds) or cooler (more toward blues) colour to complement your main colour group. For a quieter ambience, make sure your colours are not extremely bright.
Create bold or subtle variations within one colour group with contrasting paint finishes.
Good ambience is an imaginative and have a strong identity and leave the original seal of atypical designs. To find the thin line of balance between function, form and construction, and not betray our taste and current trends, this is the success we seek now and again to satisfy us all. Good ambience is primarily functional. Function arises from the needs and lifestyle of each and every one of us, and we respect them. Good ambience is necessarily beautiful. Rules of beauty are very subjective things, and we define them together. Good ambience is undoubtably well-constructed. Charming pictures aren’t enough, that is why we construct it for you.

Balancing
Act of Spacing
Hanging pictures, much like painting them, is a balancing act of spacing, colour and proportion. As any gallerist or interior designer knows, the way art is displayed is crucial and transformative, not just to the space it is in, but to the feeling given off in the pictures themselves The truth is that virtually anything can look good when framed and hung properly. We’ve pulled some of the most inspiring examples from our archive of how to hang, display and decorate with art. Here we offer some advice.

D E S I G N
• Don’t hang artworks too high on the wall (a common mistake). The ideal height of the centre of a picture (if it is not above an item of furniture) is somewhere between 155 and 160cm off the ground’. • Hang works with a view to proportion and balance. For example, if hanging a picture over a fireplace, don’t leave too much space under it unless that space will be filled, visually, with e.g. a clock. • If hanging works in patterns, arrange the display on the floor first before hanging. • Hang pictures from two points - either side of the back of the frame - not from one point. Not only is this safer, but it will pre vent works from shifting and moving out of alignment over time. • By all means use a spirit level to make sure pictures are level, but in the end trust your eye: dado rails, ceilings, etc. are not always level themselves.
