Harmony is the Key to that Fabulous Room!

Lets start with the three basic Guidelines of what makes a room successful:1. Function - something is useful, conducive.2. Mood - feeling, expressive of some form.3. Harmony - agreement, the fitting together of parts.Long before you get to worry about colors and fabrics come the
basic rules of�design:1. FunctionThis one is obvious but you rarely think about it alone. Every room has a particular function. The kitchen for cooking, the Dining area for eating, and so on. Have you ever thought about additional or secondary functions, say a kitchen may also be a space where you run a small office, therefore you would need special planning to make sure these activities can be done here. As you see there can be more than one function to every room. What about the living room? T.V., Entertaining, Reading... is there light for reading? Tables for drinks? A TV? Seating for entertaining? The list can get pretty long. As you can imagine you would need to know what the intended use of each space will be, so that every function can be served. So you must know in advance to decorating a room what function it will serve. This is what will set your decorating apart from the inexperienced decorator. So you must always know what the room will be used for.2. MoodEvery truly successful room will have a particular mood being expressed. This is done by giving it a feel, this goes hand in hand with the style you choose for a space. Examples:Harmony is the Key to that Fabulous Room!
