The Rules Of Interior Design
There’s a good reason we call our blog space Remodeling 101. In posts of the past few months, we’ve highlighted what not to do when remodeling your kitchen, signs that it’s time for a home remodel, while offering up a few home renovation projects that will increase the value of your home.
In keeping with our goal of providing an educational space for anyone interested in learning more about the field of home remodeling, today we will be covering a few indispensable rules of interior design. While this list may be neither authoritative nor exhaustive, we believe it will serve as a framework of understanding as you begin to envision what is possible in your own home!
Purpose
It’s easy to put the cart before the horse when planning any kind of home renovation. Focusing on the aesthetic elements, such as the mood, theme, color scheme, and such, is one of the most thrilling aspects of redesigning a section of your house, but the step that must precede it is determining the purpose of a room.
A room is more than its mere appearance; whether it’s a kitchen, living room, or bathroom it has a function to perform. You need to determine the focal point of the room (such as an island in the kitchen). It might be a fireplace, rug, a window with a nook, or something else entirely. Once you determine what that focus should be, you can begin to plan around that center point. The function of a room informs all following decisions regarding lighting, furniture, arrangement, and even mood.
Mood
Once we’ve gotten purpose and function out of the way, we can start to use our imagination! The mood of a room encapsulates a great number of facets, from color scheme and patterns to the style of furniture or even a theme, if you are feeling overt!
There are many things to consider when crafting the perfect mood for your room of choice, such as patterns, texture, and more. All of these things must work in concert, flowing in the same direction. That doesn’t mean everything must be uniform and related to a theme, but the key to giving your home a personality is making it your own! Don’t be afraid to get whimsical in your accessorizing!

Of course, there are many other rules than what we’ve addressed above, and in a future post we hope we’ll have the opportunity to be more specific. However, make sure you don’t ignore what is perhaps the most important rule of them all — prioritizing function over mood! Both are achievable, but it’s almost always better when you work in the correct order.
Our parting thought is that we completely understand if you find even the conceptualizing of remodeling your home somewhat overwhelming. As we mentioned above, there is so much that goes into a well-executed home renovation. Daniels Design & Remodeling works hard to be a remodeling company in the Northern Virginia area that you can trust through a challenging process. Each detail of your project will be planned by our veteran designed and built with care by our experienced craftsmen.
