If you have decided not to sell your house but instead to do some clever renovating , then call into The Red Barn, in Briarhill Business Park to help you with some ideas.
There is a free consultation (by appointment ) with a professional interior designer — good advice from a professional who will help you create what you want to do and visualise it.
There are some basic rules when redecorating which are very simple.
Function
What is it you want to do in this room... relax, entertain, a playroom, etc. The function will then decide the type of floor, the colour on the walls, the texture of the fabric and the atmosphere you wish to create.
Light
The amount of light, especially natural light, will dictate the colour of the paint, ... to bring in more light, if required, and the type of window dressings, and also how you will indroduce more artificial light if there is not much natural light in the room.
Texture and pattern.
This helps to add dimension and visual interest to your room.
Balance and scale.
It is important to have correct proportions in a room , otherwise the room will look out of balance, the size of the furniture and the amount of furniture help to create this balance.
The Red Barn can supply you with all the basics to help you get started, it has beautiful furniture, and washable and wipeable fabrics that even the messiest toddlers could not destroy. Window dressing will become easy, when you realise each blind or curtain can perform a variety of functions.
Armed with all this information and good advice, you can not go wrong,... get your skates on , and make the most of this offer
