The Fundamental Principles Of Interior Design, Part Two

Welcome back to the Daniels Design & Remodeling blog! You join us in the midst of a blog series discussing the fundamental principles of interior design, as the title no doubt already revealed. Part one saw us highlight just three principles of interior design: the rule of threes, the 10-30-60 rule, and the 3/3 vertical rule.

Each takes a bit of explanation and context, so we’d recommend you stop what you are doing, go back, and read part one in its entirety before proceeding with part two. Of course, you can be a rebel and read part two first. You can also eat dessert before dinner, take a shower before you work out, or revise your resume after a job interview — but we wouldn’t recommend it!

In today’s blog, we have two distinct parts. The first is a list of general principles to keep in mind while decorating and designing. The second will be much more specific in that we’ll take a few elements of interior design and describe what we at DD&R believe is best practice. Of course, at the end of the day, this is your home we are talking about — not ours. Take what you like and discard the rest! Although, we have to say, we are confident you’ll find applying a good portion of these tips and rules to your own project will leave in good stead down the road. There is a reason we are calling these suggestions fundamental.
