As a definition, interior design is shaping space by artful manipulation of volume and surface treatment. Many people confuse interior design in San Antonio with interior decorating; this is not necessarily the case although there are some parallels. There are a few principals that interior designs factor into their work, including:
Unity and harmony: A professional interior designer sees the house in total, to the designer the house is a series of halls and staircases. With this in mind, it is appropriate that there is a common style or theme throughout. In good interior design it is not necessary for everything to be the same; it does however suggest that the elements should be complimentary so as to solidify the composition.
Focal point: The big challenge with interior design in San Antonio is to relieve boredom. Well designed spaces will always have at least one focal point. The focal point is that which draws a person’s attention, something that is interesting enough to warrant further attention. A typical example of a focal point is a fireplace, however, if there is not a natural focal point; create one with a piece of art or perhaps contrasting color in one area.
Details: The best interior designers take great pains with detail. Everything from the pull handles on the cabinets to electrical outlets. Detail is different than color for example. Color tends to express the spirit of the design scheme while details are those little things that have a positive impact on the feel and warmth of the room.
These principals, along with scale and proportion are all complimentary as is color. Proportion applies to the ratio of one element to another, scale applies to the size of objects when compared to each other and color is that which impacts the atmosphere that you are looking to create.
