Why Interior Design Matters

Interior design is often seen as a luxury or an unnecessary expense, but the truth is, it plays a crucial role in our daily lives. From the colors and textures that surround us to the functionality and flow of a space, interior design has a significant impact on our mood, productivity, and overall well-being. In this journal post, we will explore why interior design matters and how it can enhance our living spaces.

Creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere

The first thing we notice when we enter a room is its design and ambiance. Interior design is all about creating a space that is inviting and comfortable. The right combination of colors, lighting, and furniture can transform a dull and lifeless room into a warm and welcoming one. A well-designed space can make us feel at ease and help us relax after a long day.

Reflecting Our Personality And Style

Our living spaces are a reflection of who we are. Interior design allows us to express our personality and style through our home decor. Whether it’s a minimalist and modern aesthetic or a cozy and eclectic vibe, our homes should reflect our unique tastes and preferences. A well-designed space not only looks good but also feels like a true representation of ourselves.

Enhancing functionality and efficiency

Interior design is not just about aesthetics; it also plays a crucial role in the functionality and efficiency of a space. A well-designed kitchen can make cooking and meal prep a breeze, while a well-organized home office can increase productivity. Interior designers consider the layout, flow, and purpose of a space to create a design that maximizes its potential and meets the needs of its occupants.

Boosting our mood and well-being

The colors, textures, and lighting used in interior design can have a significant impact on our mood and well-being. Certain colors can evoke specific emotions, and the right lighting can create a calming or energizing atmosphere. A well-designed space can also promote relaxation and reduce stress, ultimately contributing to our overall well-being.

Increasing the value of our home

Finally, interior design can also add value to our homes. A thoughtfully designed and well-maintained home can attract potential buyers and increase its resale value. Investing in professional interior design can be a wise decision for homeowners looking to sell their property in the future.

In conclusion, interior design matters because it goes beyond just making a space look good. It has a significant impact on our daily lives, from creating a welcoming atmosphere to reflecting our personality and style, enhancing functionality and efficiency, boosting our mood and well-being, and even increasing the value of our homes. So, the next time you think interior design is just a luxury, remember its importance in creating a comfortable, functional, and beautiful living space.

Situated in Trevaunance Cove a complete refurbishment to update this tired apartment was undertaken. Designed and managed by Studio Far West and built by @warvena_construction.

We began by transforming the layout maximising the offering by creating 4 bedrooms with one master ensuite, kitchen, pantry, family bathroom and large sea view lounge.

Planning permission was obtained to create a Seaview window in the lounge and for installation of an air source heat pump updating with a modern heating system. Kitted out with underfloor heating and finished to a high specification.

Here the family bathroom glows - kitted out with brushed bronze @crosswater_uk sanitaryware and feature tiled bath.
