Just a few Interior Design Trends & Tips

  • Large patterned tiles are proving to be popular - if working to a tight budget just do certain areas or combine them with a less expensive plain tile. Sussex Wall & Floor Tiling offer a large selection of tiles and have very helpful staff to guide you in your choice.
  • With the Kitchen being the heart of a home get the best that you can afford, a good quality kitchen will withstand the test of time and bespoke kitchens don't have to cost the earth. Get some inspiration, see Hand Painted Kitchens Sussex at Andrew Nichols Interiors.
  • Unsure where to place the kettle in a streamline kitchen? A great solution is to install a boiling water tap – boiling water literally on tap.
  • Look again at your lighting, it is the simplest way to instantly change the ambience of a room.
  • Mix old with new - one antique set in an otherwise contemporary setting can often be seen to its best advantage.
  • Think about practicalities and make sure that the scheme works for you, don’t compromise on function - even if a room looks spectacular, if it doesn’t meet your needs you will never be happy with it.
  • If hesitant about using colour, introduce it in the accessories. You can then regularly change them to alter the whole feel of the room.
  • If you want to make a statement go for something that you won't find in a regular store - like Amy Kent's fantastic hand knotted bespoke rugs - rug design doesn't come much better than this!
  • Be aware of what you really like - one or two really beautiful things can provide the focal point for the whole design.
  • It is an often repeated piece of advice but it really is useful to keep a scrap book with ideas and pictures of things that have caught your eye.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ...

"Although I had quite a bit of experience of doing up houses, this time around I knew that I just didn’t have the time that is necessary to look for curtain fabrics, paint colours and upholstery fabrics. It really does take time to see what is around and to work out combinations. Because of my experience I have a strong sense of what I like and I was slightly skeptical of what use I would have for an interior designer. However, Georgina proved to be extremely useful. This may be because she doesn’t really fit my image of an interior designer.

 

She is normal and down to earth but with a very good eye for colour and style. Georgina was able to understand exactly what sort of look I was after and was able to source items that she knew I would like. She also is conscious of budget and never tries to push you towards the more expensive option – which is what I had feared of an interior designer. She really provided two roles for me – firstly as a source of possible fabric choices and secondly as a sounding board for my ideas."
