<p> <strong>Interior design</strong> is a form of art which makes places beautiful and useful, people thinks, interior design is just to make places beautiful, but this is not true, interior design makes place beautiful as well as useful.</p>
<p>Home Sweet Home, that’s old saying and have you ever think what these words say, home have everything you need, home provide you things which you need in different times. if it don’t have everything you u<span id="more-369"></span>se in everyday life and doesn’t have pleasant environment your life will be painful. That’s the key of <strong>interior design</strong>, giving pleasant and beautiful environment while making it as useful as possible.</p>
<p><strong>Interior design</strong> gives you inner satisfaction, the people who lives in beautiful houses or work in beautiful offices know this satisfaction, this gives your soul a happiness which cant be explain in words, whenever you come back to home from somewhere, the first step you put inside your house gives you pleasure, when you think about your room, your bathroom, your kitchen or whatever you have in your house you feel pleasure inside and this way your days and night are more happy, you work better your relationship with your friends and relatives better and your life becomes more and more pleasant and at the other hand your home can be a horrible dream if it doesn’t have everything you like in your living style.</p>
<p>Home environment plays very important role in your life or if I say home environment can ruin your life or at the other hand make it successful than its not wrong, peoples lifestyle change with environment, you have seen many people who are not very rich, but because they work in 5 star hotel or in organization where environment is very luxury, their lifestyle shows this very well, even though they are not very rich, but they live like rich people, there environment make them to change their lifestyle.</p>

<p> Interior designers are often asked about the origins of the profession – especially in the context of quality of life versus product. Has our modern quality of life driven our craving for high-quality design, or has design really been more of a primary impactor in defining how we enjoy wellness? In this article, I will draw on my experience in London’s prestigious interior design community to reflect on how the design process works from this <span id="more-363"></span>perspective.</p>
<p>When interior designers begin engaging with a potential client, they will often ask about function. What is the desired purpose and use of the room or residence? The answer to this question has a profound impact on everything we do. If a client is desperate for luxury high-end London extravagance in the form of a damask settee, we may recommend a synthetic damask fabric instead of cotton or satin for a household that includes young kids and a pet dog. Breathtaking interior designs are always the goal, but only in the context of compatibility with our clients’ unique London lifestyles.</p>
<p>Interior designers will work hard to understand client requirements from the outset. Some professional <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.globalinteriordesign.com/">London Interior Design</a> consultancies will even have a series of highly structured interview questions that they routinely use. The interior designer will offer a free consultation at the client’s home – whether inside or outside London – to discover exactly what the client loves and hates about their current residence. Budget should be a conversation point from the very beginning. It is important to clarify whether the client prefers to be given fifteen different interior design options from which to choose, or just two or three.</p>
<p>One area that can be really challenging for the interior designer is when a husband and wife have different ideas about the desired outcome. This can happen regardless of whether the individuals are happily married or considering an impending separation. The interior designer sometimes gets “caught in the middle,” which can cause real tension.</p>
<p>In recent years, the London interior design community has seen a real upwelling in terms of social media and internet-enabled design opportunities. One of the most positive results is that would-be clients are now much better informed regarding interior design themes and concepts. Londoners read articles just like this one and start to get a sense of the interior design process even before we reach their front door or exchange our first set of emails!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a03.yimg.com/image/8e6bc5ceea91b94e" width="250" height="180" alt="Colour Me Brightly! Understanding Light in Interior Design. Part I: Introducing Patterns of Light"></div>
<p> Professional interior designers are expertly trained in the use of lighting features to create breathtaking results. In this four-part series which I call “Colour Me Brightly: Understanding Light in Interior Design,” I draw on my experience in London’s interior design community to explain this fascinating subject. This first article is about patterns.</p>
<p>Ask a London schoolgirl to imagine natural patterns, and she may talk at length of<span id="more-361"></span> curvaceous seashells, the undulating edge of waves on the shore, the grooves in a gnarled tree trunk. Interior designers know that patterns are all around us. Patterns profoundly influence all interior design schemes, transforming our appreciation of color and texture, adding fluctuations and drifts or promoting harmony and stillness. <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.globalinteriordesign.com/">London Interior Designers</a> will focus on soft, fluid outlines in order to create relaxing patterns. By contrast, bold graphic statements in a wallpaper stencil can be invigorating for a London discotheque or salon. Pattern is a foundational ingredient of interior design, fragmenting overwhelming shapes and plain surfaces while simultaneously lending personality and profundity to a room.</p>
<p>London’s professional interior designers know one big secret: pattern is created not only by fabric and wallpaper. Light also forms any number of patterns through a virtual tussle or rough-and-tumble interaction between light and shadow. Light patterns are foundational to interior design schemes – from snippeted, kinetic and frosted patterns to curvy arcs, spearhead-style lines and theatrical projections of abstract forms.</p>
<p>Patterns of light fall into two main interior design categories. The first is all about objects in the path of light, casting shadows. We draw our inspiration from the natural world where, when sunlight strikes rippling water on London’s famous River Thames, flickering patterns are reflected up into the trees along the water’s edge. Similarly, if an artificial light source is directed onto water – perhaps a pool, fountain or babbling artificial brook – active reflections will dapple the surrounding walls and become an interior design feature. Sunlight may shine through the branches of a tree to create moving patterns of light and shade below, and similarly a low-voltage uplight, positioned behind indoor plants, can create beautiful interior design features on the walls and ceilings. This technique can be stunning both inside and outside the building.</p>
<p>In my next article, I turn to patterns that use perforations and glass.</p>

<p> In their training, student interior designers often learn about the history of their profession. This can be a really important way to give context to their subsequent careers. In this article, I will draw on my experience as an interior designer and educator to discuss the history of this exciting field.</p>
<p>The earliest professional interior designers were based in London – the British had become intrigued by Egyptian techniques of decora<span id="more-356"></span>ting household objects and wanted the same for themselves. London families became desperate to employ an interior designer to create magical spaces and accessorise their interiors. As interior designers came to be recognised as professionals, they increasingly found a need to draw on history to create fabulous results. This was particularly true when creating designs for historic London mansions or listed buildings – they saw historical reflections as a way of preserving the past while also looking to the future.</p>
<p>THE ANCIENT ROMANS</p>
<p>In Ancient Rome, citizens demanded comfort, luxury and wealth. These elements are still important in the work of interior designers across the world today. The lavish decorations, tapestries and iconic stonework today remain as timeless and popular in London as in Tokyo or Sydney. The Ancient Romans adored bespoke furniture and loved quality textiles and expensive fabrics.</p>
<p>MONASTIC TIMES</p>
<p>After the collapse of Roman rule, the church assumed power and largely discouraged the most creative interior designers. Opulent interiors were taken out and interior designers were instructed to install quiet and simple oak panels with dark lines and sharp edges. This influence was felt throughout Europe – from London all the way to Florence.</p>
<p>RENAISSANCE AND REVIVAL</p>
<p>The Renaissance saw the emergence of professional French or French-inspired interior designers. It was a new age of elegance and sophistication, which saw the rebuilding of the <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.globalinteriordesign.com/">London Interior Designer</a> community and a fresh take on creative and beautiful living spaces. A “palatial” feel was rediscovered, and interior designers began to take advantage of new transport axes going through London to the continent and to the Americas in order to rediscover their profession and herald the next generation of design.</p>
<p>This brings to an end my article on how the work of interior designers has changed over the ages. In my next article, I’ll reflect on how interior designers use interior fashions for great effect.</p>

<p> Professional interior designers are expertly trained in the use of lighting features to create breathtaking results. In this four-part series which I call “Colour Me Brightly: Understanding Light in Interior Design,” I draw on my experience in London’s interior design community to explain this fascinating subject. This second article talks about how to create patterns using illuminated materials.</p>
<p>Any perforated textile, when lit fro<span id="more-360"></span>m the back or from the inside, will speckle adjacent forms with pattern, from point strips and pirouettes to constellations and dazzling laser specks. The professional interior designer can use the trim of a window covering to create fabulous banding across a shiny floor covering in the London summer. Some interior design firms love to use ornamental metal lanterns to paint fiery asteroids on walls and furniture, while light projected through a sculpted screen can create magnificent abstract outlines in expressive contemporary interior design schemes. A factory-inspired metal stairwell with perforated treads – of the type often reinterpreted for ultra-modern interior design schemes – can throw tiny checkmarks of light onto local furniture when exposed to a bright London sky in springtime. A fabulous option with a wooden staircase would require the interior designer to specify a grit-washed tread, to deliberately throw stunning shadows from the rail onto the adjacent wall. Abstract wire-mesh sculptures by local London artists can engender powerful interior design emotions, with the pattern even becoming more important than the object itself! Interior designers can expressively use perspective to distort the pattern from complete realism, when lit front-on, to Baconesque abstract enchantment when illuminated at an acute angle. The same effect can be created by using mirrors to refocus natural light from bay windows in some of the more luxurious London residences.</p>
<p>Glass is another popular tool for patterns. A frosted glass table can be lit from above with a halogen downlighter to cast intricate outlines of reflected light onto the ceiling, and the interior designer can even use positioning to cause refracted light to splash abstract patterns onto the floor underneath the table. I have seen some <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.globalinteriordesign.com/">London Interior Design</a> consultancies deliberately illuminate trophy-style glassware on display shelves from the front so that the etching on the glass throws deep shadows that recapitulate a core design theme.</p>
<p>In the next (third) article in this series called “Colour Me Brightly!” I will reveal another secret of London’s interior design community: how to create patterns with opaque objects.</p>
