6 Things Designers Instantly Notice When They Enter a Room (And You Probably Don’t)

Posted by Sneha Garg on

Everybody thinks they have good taste —yet interior designers? And they are taught to notice what we should not. The difference is that when a professional enters a place, they do not look around; they scan. They absorb the mood, the light, the atmosphere, and yes, even the errors as they walk into a living painting.

The interior designer at Fabdivine says that walking into any room is simply a visual journey to him. As the details stand, a few things are in dire need of attention.

 Then, is it that they are homing in on? Since imbalances to dead walls and misfires of lighting, designers have a list in mind, and once people are aware of that list, they will never look at their home the same way it appears.

1. Balance: The Non-verbal Scene-stealer

Balance, first of all, before color, before decor, before anything. When something feels wrong in a room, it is often wrong. It might be a humongous sofa that is pushing out the corners of the room or a small rug that is in a huge room.

According to reports, the style and the decoration are quite personal; however, when there is no scale or harmony to the room, it is difficult to enjoy it. A huge couch with small flings of cushions? A giant wall covered by only one photo frame? The imbalance then makes the elephant in the room literally.

2. Lighting: The Mood Maker or Mood Breaker

The use of lighting is not only to light up a room, but to make it have a soul. Natural light is gold, although you need more sun windows, layered lights might help do the magic.

Fabdivine interior, there is nothing more depressing, she says, than to enter a dark room. Combine background light with vivid studio lamps or block-printed lampshades. Designers are also obsessed with dimmers; they immediately improve a space, and they provide you with control over the mood.

Visualize a tastefully styled room: a blend of soft ambient lighting, textured walls, curated furnishings.

3. Walls: For the greatest storytellers

Whitewashed walls are dull. They are blank canvases according to the designers who are begging to be expressed. According to Jonna Gaines, a room covered in bare walls is sterile and unfriendly.

Give some texture with block-printed wallpaper or a wall gallery exhibition with art prints. Even a wall with complex paint can add depth, colour, and character to an otherwise boring place.

4. Ceilings- The Hidden Fifth Wall

Do not leave your ceiling as an afterthought. Low ceilings? Apply visual propaganda to raise the room. Interior designer Nate Berkus suggests painting your ceiling in the same color as your walls: it makes the contrast more minimal.

In addition, the aim can be achieved with oversized mirrors or vertically arranged curtains. Curtain panels in block print with vertical patterns are a clever, low-key solution.

5. Personality Decor: The Ultimate Neglected Decor Ingredient

Books, paintings, valuable objects--all of these speak about you. And designers are not ignored. As some of the interior designers of the USA say, she notices the books on the bookshelf. A room must tell the story about the people in the room.

Block written cushions or handcrafted textures add character, heritage, and soul to a space. An odd combination of bohemian pillow covers? That is personality playing up.

6. Smell: the first impression that you think you are not making.

The loveliest room may be ruined by a smell. Be it stale air or too heavy fragrance on candles, designers observe it. Is it a fresh-smelling or stale house? Nice smelling or stinking smelling?”

Short-term solution: Open a window, introduce indoor flora, and stay away from artificial perfumes. Comforting fragrances are natural, soft, and light ones that leave an impression in a well-designed space.

Your Space, A Different Way to Redefine It: The Fabdivine Touch

Behind the sofas, place rattan side tables with white lamps. The flooring should have a geometric patterned rug in warm tones.

And in case you are now itching to discover your space with new eyes, you are not the only one. However, there is no cause to panic yet; a floor-to-ceiling renovation is not needed. Occasionally, all that is needed are a couple of calculated replacements to transform a room.

Fabdivine is what comes in at that point.

• Include block printed curtains, which add movement, rhythm, and balance.

• Redecorate your sitting place by attaching a boho-style pillow protector that tells a lot but without uttering a word.

• Put block print lampshades on your statement-making day-the little things that make a great big difference.

• Decorate walls with handmade block print wallpapers that bring in depth and international grandeur.

large French doors with glass panes letting in abundant natural light. Above the fireplace, add blue and white tile detailing and a modern abstract painting with soft pastel and green tones.

• It is all artisan-made, drenched in culture, and designed to induce joy and tranquility.

• Once your house transforms into a refuge, all your visitors, including designers, will notice.

• A room with good design does not scream, but speaks quiet sophistication.

• It never follows the trends; it respects your narrative.

And the latter is the story told, beautifully with Fabdivine, one block-printed detail at a time.
