INTERIOR INSPIRATION

Whether you are preparing to sell your property, have just moved in and want to make the space your own or are trying to attract the right tenant to live in your investment, a property’s interior can make all the difference.

The plan Having a clear vision of what you want the space to look like can help you achieve a good result. Making a plan and understanding the constraints of a room can ensure you make the right design choices.

One of the most common but also costly mistakes when redecorating is misunderstanding the scale and size of a room. Deciding what to leave out of the room can be just as important as deciding what to put in it.

While the appearance of the space is important, so is it’s functionality, the choice of furniture, artwork and lighting needs to be paired with a layout plan to ensure these items make the most of the space.

The floor A rug can bring warmth to a room but can also help to define a space. When choosing a rug it is important to again consider the dimensions of the room and the size of the rug. A rug can help to set the stage for the rest of the furniture in a room. To determine if a rug is the right size for a room a good test can be to position it just under the front two feet of the sofa, allowing it to span across the room.

Alternatively a smaller rug can be more cost effective, using different shapes and colours can also work in a similar way to artwork by helping to define a space and bring an element of interest to a room with a neutral palette.

The walls The impact of artwork on a room can sometimes be underestimated. Art can be one element of design that doesn’t have to follow all of the rules. Using oversized pieces in smaller spaces or a bright colour in a relatively neutral room can actually become defining features.

Although it sounds simple, the most important part of selecting the right artwork is choosing something you really love. If needed, a professional stylist can then help you design your room in a way that complements the piece.

53 Wrights Terrace, Prahran, featured on the cover and above is a great example of wonderfully executed interior design.
