Interior Design Tips in Los Angeles

Redecorating a space can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. If you’re like many F&R Interiors clients here in the greater Los Angeles area, if you’re looking to do some interior decorating, you might need a little help from an interior designer. But if you’re unsure of what working with an interior designer is all about, start by understanding the basics below. Then be sure to contact one of our representatives for more.

Considerations

The benefits to working with a designer largely stem from the fact that they likely have resources that may not be available you. But remember that your designer is not a mind-reader. Clarify your vision by making a list of everything you want to accomplish in the space, including how you use the room and what you like and dislike about it. For example, if you love your fireplace, mention that and ask the designer to suggest what might make it the focal point of the room. Their response will help you quickly see how they could transform the rest of the space. If their response lets you know that the designer is not on the same page with you, quickly move on to the next candidate.

All About Color

Some people like cool neutrals with just a touch of color; others want a house brimming with color. Be clear with your designer about the colors you like and dislike—you want to be sure you are comfortable living with the results. Show your designer examples of your favorite colors through pieces you already have, like a favorite vase, pillow, or dish. These things can serve as inspiration for the color palette they suggest.

The Way You Use the Space

Let’s say you’re remaking your bedroom: let your designer know all the functional elements you need. For example, if you watch TV before falling asleep, it’s an important factor to share because that might impact furniture placement, technology access, and available space design. Do you have any special needs to be considered, such as allergies, wheelchair accessibility, or vision issues? The more information you share with your designer, the better your overall experience—and design outcome—will be.
