Home Interior Decoration
Hans Hasselfors
Home Interior Decoration - The process of decorating a home in
order to make it look good becomes easier to use and gels well
with the architecture. Home interior decoration provides a
certain "feel" to the home; it includes applying wallpaper,
painting the walls, choosing of furniture and fittings such as
light fixtures, and adding decorations such as paintings.
Home interior decoration is professionally done by interior
designers/ decorators and also by a few architects. There is a
distinctive difference between home interior decoration and
interior design.
Home interior decoration is focused on finishing, such as
wallpaper, window covering, furnishings and paint. Interior
design is more integrated with the architecture, and in addition
to home interior decoration involves cabinet making, room layout
etc and host of other design parameters that go into making a
home.
Although the concept of home interior decoration evolved in
Paris and London in the late 18th century, modern home interior
decoration began with Jeanselme in Paris, Lenygon and Morant in
London and Ogden Codman from New York. This concept of home
interior decoration has gone through many trends and
discussions. The current trends of this industry is to discover
innovative ways to decorate on a budget mostly shoe string.
The whole objective of home interior decoration is to
functionally improve the home and make it reflect your tastes
and personality at the same time rendering it unique. A big
challenge, nevertheless, undertaken by artistic scientists.
Homeowners spent approximately $175 billion in the year 2003 to
improve their homes. About 65% of this can be attributed to home
interior decoration. The new trends indicate most spending on
expanding kitchens and livening up bathrooms with new fittings.
Current trends also indicate that emphasis is being given to
creating specialty rooms and areas for individual members of the
family. Growing in popularity are massage suites, spa areas,
media space, craft rooms, wine cellars and home library areas.
Even though luxury is a synonym for space, most small home
owners are eagerly using home interior decoration to create
definition areas for each individual.
Colors are also undergoing a new preference towards earthly,
natural and warm brown tones from the vibrant and loud colors of
the past. Blue and gray hues are preferred today over dull reds
and dark blues of the past.
Innovative home interior decoration ideas, which cost less but
at the same time giving the impression of an ornate design
scheme are in vogue for new career professionals and newly
married couples.
The new trend of Life-styling has given home interior decoration
industry a boost. This has given rise to eclectic decorating
styles which include High Tech and Shabby Chic replacing the
good old Victorian or Early American.
Focus has changed to harmony and function compared to uniqueness
and good looking. Rightly so, since uniqueness can never be 100%
and neatness has always been good looking, which can be brought
about by good functionality.
Home interior decoration has changed more drastically over the
past 15 years or so than in its long history. Keeping track of
new trends is almost as essential as for a computer professional
keeping track of new software or hardware.
