The theme of these months on Wit & Delight is entirely about the art of the mix in interior design. I decreased to share and write more information about this tapic How You can apply the art of the mix in your own house.

When I first sat down to write this article, I thought of the cookbook Salt, fat, sour, heat By Samin Nosrat (one that I highly recommended!). No, this is not an interior book, but it is Ash A book that helps people find out to combine and balance different elements in the field of cooking. I decide to follow a similar approach and write about how different elements in the field of interior design mix.

Today I share the five important interior design elements that all my favorite rooms have in common: color, pattern, texture, submitting old and immersion that bases the space. This is why each of these elements matters.

5 Interior design elements that every room needs

1. Color

If you ever went to the painting class, you know that painters generally start with a large field of one color on their canvas, to which they have added when they go. Consider the room you design to Canvas. First choose your basic color (which can be the existing color of the room Or In color that you intend to bring in), is considering the complementary colors that you want to add to the mix. This article about color theory will help you get an idea of ​​how different color plays together. This article from House and garden Is also an interest on rust to follow, according to interior designers.

2. Pattern

Pattern adds interest, department and emotion to every room. Without that space can feel a somowhat flat. Patterns can be bold or subtle, colorful or neutral and used wide or selectively. From wallpaper to upholstery to rugs to decor items, there is no shortage of ways to bring pattern to a house.

3. Texture

I think it’s great to add texture to every room. Just like rooms without pattern, rooms without different textures feel Subuwat boring for me. I like texture with fabrics (eg velvet, linen, wool) and materials (eg rattan, marble, rustic wood, metal).

4. Subject old

There is always room for Subdique Antiques in every room, especially in spaces that are usually filled with newer pieces. Whether it concerns furniture, art, lighting fixtures or small decor items, old pieces bring character and charm to a house.

5.

An earthing element is entry that acts as the basis of a room; It is the thing that the whole design calls together. I usually use a rug to ground a space. It helps to define the seating area in a living room, bedroom or dining room. It also offers another possibility to bring color and texture into a room. Wallpaper can also be used an earth element, especially if you apply it to an accent wall and use a fat pattern.
