In this online interior design school, I will show some basic tips for making a good design.

First of all, let’s talk about design in general, and then we can use this knowledge in houses, shops, restaurants, etc.

One of the more important things is the space fluidity.

We should start defining circulation areas, and then think that in those spaces couldn’t be, for example some kind of furniture in the middle.

This would create an uncomfortable situation, a waste of the free space and at least a bad use of the place.

The other important thing we should think about is the visual fluidity. In this case we also need to define the best visual of the place, and we should think about which are the more positives and useful views of this place we want to design.

Windows with good views, places on this same interior in which we would like to people directs their eyes.

For this entire job we have to have the plan of the place and work at the same time with the plant, and the perspectives. That is because, in this way, the design has a correspondence when we have to translate the drawings to the real space.

Once we have already finished with these analyses, we can consider the spaces that are available. And then we are able to play with our design.

In this part of the online interior design school we will think about where to call the attention of the people that enter the place, and which are the weak points that we should improve.

Basics

• Define a decoration style (art deco, art noveau, feng shui, zen, modern, classic, for example).

• Dark colors make a place looks smaller, and light colors make a place looks bigger. Think on what you want for your space.

• The entrance should be shocking; it must reflex the importance of the interior design.

• Don’t show all the design at first sight, it is better to discover it little by little.

• Depending on the style we want to give to this space we have to study different colors combinations for walls, floors, curtains, and pieces of art.

• Depending on the use of the place we should study if it is necessary the flexibility of it. Using tables with wheels, panels that could be removed, folding chairs we can create new spaces.

• Surprise with pure materials that confers naturalist to the space. They can be stone, wood, water, light candles, plants for example.

• Utilize the sun, invite the outside inside, nothing is better that a place with natural light.

• Cushions offer a place the comfort sensation. Put them on a sofa, or in the floor, if the design deserves it.

• Last tendencies are simple lines; they should be elegant and clean. Pay special attention to the maximum use of the space, to the order, and the warmth of the design. Aesthetic is very important.

I hope these few tips will help you to start testing little by little what you have learned in this online interior design school.
