Why is Interior Design Important?
"A house is much more than a mere shelter - it should lift us emotionally and spiritually."
- John Saldino
Interior design is all about how we experience a space. It's an important part of our daily lives and impacts how we live, work, and enjoy the environment we are accustomed to. Creating a comfortable and functional home you can unwind in, is an important aspect of designing the perfect space.
Interior designers help us create a personalized space that fulfills our needs and visual appeal. They can work directly with contractors, architects, engineers, builders, and various suppliers to help guide their clients through the various stages of the project. By providing expert guidance, the experience should be less overwhelming and more enjoyable. At Cesario & Co, we work closely with interior designers, as well as many trades within the industry. Our goal is to offer a wide array of products to suit various design goals and assist in making the selection process an inspiring one.
Let's explore the benefits of interior design.
Personality Expression
Interior design is a way to express our personalities. Perhaps you enjoy a simple, sleek look, which is where a contemporary style may work for you.
You may be a lover of the city, where a more industrial style with raw finishes like exposed brick would express your personality better.
There are also those that love the outdoors and enjoy a natural setting, which is where a Bohemian style which uses natural and organic elements, would be a representation of their personality.
There are many different interior design styles to explore to express your personality.
Mood Lifting
Interior design can be mood lifting. You would be amazed at how colours, patterns and overall aesthetic are able to improve our mood.
Colour Psychology
Brighter colours look friendly and can encourage communication. Darker colours are known to be moody and can exude a feeling of security and comfort.
Warm colours include yellow, orange and red and have the effect of increasing the room’s perceived temperature, which can help when trying to increase energy levels. Yellow is known to energize and encourage relaxation whereas red is much stronger and highlights boldness, romance and passion.
Cool colours, including blue, purple and green, generally have a calming effect. Sky blue in particular is known to stimulate productivity and inspire trust. Cool colours are perfect for a spa-like bathroom, as it can give you the ability to relax and unwind after a long day.
Pattern Psychology
Similar to colour, patterns can have a significant psychological effect on our state of mind.
Lines are common, but powerful, aspects of design. Vertical lines can be perceived as celestial because they aim upwards, diagonal lines can produce feelings of excitement and intensity, and horizontal lines generally have the effect of grounding us.
There are also geometric patterns that can represent strength, as the structure of geometric shapes look strong and durable. This is why many homes with geometric patterns tend to have a bold look.
Space Efficiency & Functionality
Functionality goes hand in hand with space efficiency. The more functional your space is, the more usable your space will be. There are tons of incredible ways that designers help utilize space while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing look.
Everything matters when it comes to finding the perfect fixtures for your home, and that is where Cesario & Co can assist.
