5 Do's and Don'ts of Decorating by Boca do Lobo

Interior Design in not only about creating concepts. It’s also about creating a balance and a sense of harmony between all the elements involved. For that, it’s important to keep in mind some important principles. Today, our talented design team gives you some advices with the Do and Don’ts of Decorating. Read on and find true design inspiration and tips to start your own project.

Don’t Be Square

Symmetry creates a sense of order and calm, but too much of this good thing can make a room feel static. So, shake things up. If your luxury furniture is arranged symmetrically, hang wall art asymmetrically, or go free-form with the furniture and let your artwork add grounding symmetry.

Do Embrace Blossoms

Fill water glasses with bunches of leafy twigs, ferns, or other foliage. Branches, even bare ones, can add graphic punch — consider using a smaller, watertight wastebasket as a vase for them. And you have an always available centerpiece waiting for you in the form of your houseplants.

Do Go Toward the Light

Lighting can alter the entire feel of an area. Scaling things down by using table lamps or adjustable-height floor lamps will up the cozy quotient, and adding one or two extras to the traditional pair of wall sconces is a softer way to add wattage to your modern living room.

Don’t Isolate Rooms

Don’t forget about the entryway or the corridor. Keep these places beautifully decorated because they are the connecting elements between the main division of your luxury home.

Do Hang Mirrors In Unexpected Places

Try to hang a mirror in unexpected places in order to create visual impact. Also, by using vibrant colors you will double the effect, giving your luxury interiors a unique approach.
