Remaking a room, house, or even building an entire home includes many considerations. For starters, what image are you attempting to depict? What materials can make that happen? Are there any parameters – cost, space, materials, feasibility, labor – that may get in the way of achieving your ultimate goal?
Indeed, sometimes the best designs come from the presence or even lack thereof of other elements. Take, for example, the basic art element of positive and negative space. Positive space is considered the object or item itself, while negative space is all that exists around that object. For instance, consider a simple ottoman. It will represent an item utilizing positive space, as it is a solid structure that can be used for a variety of purposes. Whether you are aware of it or not, the negative space around it, or the negative space, speaks volumes about the overall feel of the room.

In a similar vein, lighting and shadow can significantly impact the overall atmosphere surrounding your design. These concepts are just as they sound – bright light and shadow that fall over certain areas. Even though they are not physical items, per se, they can make a room feel very open, warm, and inviting, or claustrophobic, dark, and unwelcoming. Indeed, striking a balance between the two is often important, and our team is ready to discuss your options with you. For more information about this process, reach out to our team today.
In addition to the items mentioned above, your home design or remodel would not be complete without a focal point or centerpiece. This will vary from room to room and can include anything from a dining room table and light fixture, a bed, a main sitting area, and so much more. Keep in mind, however, that there is such thing as too much going on, and the last thing you want is for your space to feel cluttered.
