                                                                                 Maybe we don't observe this, but interior design is influencing our subconscious, so the choices that you make when deciding how your home will look have an effect on your emotions, thoughts, feelings, behaviors and perceptions.      A quality design is one that fits the owners needs. There are three basic design techniques – color, shapes and texture      Color is a very strong element that has an major impact on your mood. Cooler colors (blues, greens, purples) often provide an inviting, professional and relaxed feeling. In contrast, it can be used to give a very cold and unfriendly feeling as well. Warmer colors (yellows, oranges, reds) are soothing, warm, and give a sense of creativity but can also give off negative feelings such as anger and stress. That's why we should not exaggerate with the use of bold colors and remember: three color picks are better than one (propo

                                                                   The face of Dale Chihuly ( American glass sculptor ) was severely cut by glass and he was blinded in his left eye. This made me think on how unique we are, because w e are special creatures that can distinguish colors! The human eye distinguishes over 10 million different colors. Isn't it amazing? Each of it has its charm and beauty. Don't ever be afraid to use a color you like in your interior design.

Inspiration Of The Day "Design is where science and art break even" Robin Mathew

Image
                                             When I think about these two concepts, to my mind comes such brilliant artist as Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci. They fully understood the unique combination of art and science and how important it was to think innovatively. Renaissance is the period when science and art began to live together. That's why we shouldn't ask ourselves is design a science or an art; because design is a combination of art and science in the most inspirational and creative ways in order to keep innovation flowing.      Science helps us create a lot of beautiful things, pieces of art as well as all of the tools and things that fulfill our aesthetic needs. The best creations and innovations, though, are those that combine those functions with a form that is pleasing to the eye as well as the hand.     ALSO SEE: Kisses in the name of art “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.

Inspiration Of The Day “Have no fear of perfection - you’ll never reach it.” Salvador Dali

Image
                                                     Perfection is a concept which is far too abstract for anyone to strive for. Perfection is completely impossible to obtain, because it's a relative thing and we can't even define this word. But we should always tend to something better because we can only perceive changes (in our homes). That's why we shouldn't be afraid to try new things, new colors,new accessories etc.      It's ok to mismatch, the most important thing is to feel comfortable at home.

Inspiration Of The Day “Decorating golden rule: Live with what you love.” — Unknown

Image
                                                           Everyone has some things that make them happy, things that remind them about beautiful moments in their lives... But why we keep them in boxes and just occasionally find these things and put them back?      As I thing, we should surround us with such kind of things that make us feel happy and warm. Don't buy home accessories just because they are considered to be in vogue. Buy something you really like, something that make you smile. Or, even better, DIY something with your family and place this object on a coffee table or on a shelf. Arrange your favorite books in a noticeable place; do the same with some photos etc.      I wish you good luck ;)     ALSO SEE: 10 Interior Design Lessons You Can Learn From NATURE Simple DIY project for wall decor 11 FORMIDABLE Bathroom Decorating Ideas 11 amazing DIY ideas to recycle old CDs
