Create Better Spaces With A Chester County Interior Decorator

By Patricia Hughes


Sometimes just cleaning a home is not enough. While everyone deserves to breathe easier, often rooms deserve an overhaul that is beyond picking up a couple of pieces that were on sale or look nice. This is not to say that making small changes is bad, sometimes in order to make spaces better, it requires letting go of things that add no functional or visual value. Often a Chester county interior decorator can shed some insight on how small improvements can make a big difference.

Many decorators take client needs into consideration before getting into themes or materials to renovate a space. For instance, an individual that is very short in stature or has a sunken room may not be aware of ways to make objects in better reach. Although nice colors and fixtures may be nice, these little things make homes more comfortable.

If a person plans to live in their current home for a long time, this can be an investment in their quality of life. Sometimes the aging process, no matter how well a person takes care of themselves, can suddenly change how the body functions. Physical movement is often the most noticeable change to anyone and they may find that they suddenly have to move an object around for good.

Another benefit to using a decorating service is to make better use of current space. It is common for someone to buy an object, perhaps a storage unit, because it matches or is compatible with another color. Seldom does a person really think about spaces until they get it home and realize it does not fit.

Sometimes, it is a matter of taking a step back and looking at spaces. Often when a person looks at something up close constantly, being objective can be difficult. Cabinets, closets, and vacant spaces within the home or office are good places to start. The next step would be to write down common uses and how often, followed by looking at any extra space that may remain.

One thing that the average individual may not be aware of is how colors can set a mood. People who work in design or marketing know the psychological effects of colors used in advertising but others just know what they do or do not like. What some may not see is that their preferred color may not be the right primary color for their home or business.

For example, red can be very stimulating and not always recommended for four walls in a room. Although blue has a calming effect, it may not be an individual preference. The happy medium may be to make the preferred color a ceiling color or use it as a secondary color. This really depends on how the room or space is to be used.

To find the right individual, it may help to look at their website or blog. While some may be used to set up appointments, others use this medium to engage new clients by showing off previous work or room decor tips. The look of the site and its contents can also let viewers know what type of client the decorator is used to working with.
