Why should you use a Professional Interior Designer?? - Part 7 - They have a Trained Eye!

Have you ever wondered how Designers seem to just get it right, the first time, EVERY time?? In Alexandrea's article, the respected writer notes that having a "trained eye" - the difference between a cohesive and harmonious living space which feels perfectly balanced in a room which appears slightly 'off', throwing out any sense of feng shui and positive energy. Whether you're aware of it or not, each and every room in your home (and indeed your office or business space) has the ability to make you feel something; meditive, energised, aggravated, the list is endless.. A Professional Interior Designer will consider the purpose of the chosen space and exactly how you want it to make you feel, a vital aspect of creating a liveable and enjoyable home.

So how does we "Designer Types" do this??

7. They have a Trained Eye..

This part is all down to the elements we've already spoken about and creating an ambiance, a mood or setting the scene for the purpose of that space.. For instance, when you go into your bedroom after a long day at work, do you want the room to make you feel energised or restful? Do you want your bathroom to feel dark and serene or bright, clean and fresh? What about your living space - is this the place you want to kick back and relax or is it a place to hold a formal get together or social event (maybe you want it to be both), no matter what your needs are, the space needs to convey that mood and indeed that purpose.

This is a bit out there but, imagine calling for a builder and they turn up in a nurses uniform, or a fireman and he turns up on a motorcycle and not the big red fire engine - it just doesn't work and it's certainly not what you expected.. Now think about how that would make you feel?? Would you laugh, would you feel disappointed, angry or even bewildered and out of sorts??

Now apply this method of thinking to the rooms in your home.. If a room doesn't feel like you need or want it to, the space can leave you feeling a whole range of emotions and maybe even unbalanced. Consider finding yourself feeling sleepy in the lounge and bouncing off the walls in the dinning room, not the perfect mix right!! This is why getting the balance perfectly in tune with your needs is so important and well worth shelling out a bit of cash for a Professional Designer to work their magic for you!
