How to make a room harmonious visually and emotionally? Read this.
As an professional interior decorator I often hear that people are intimidated when I come over for a casual visit because acquaintances fear that I would analyze their home, but the truth is that I have trained myself ‘not to’ analyze homes without the consent of the resident – I find it to be common courtesy. I believe it is rude if someone would start looking all around your home without your approval instead of looking at the person (you the host, not your items).
When I do get the request to analyze a room there is a common mistake that I often see - which is: that the furniture and furnishings are not given height within a room, and therefore the rooms look a bit bloated at the bottom and skinny at the top. Yikes, no one wants to feel bloated do they? – not even a room!
