Today I started the investigation regarding online programs in interior design.

A lot of companies have just a small review of their offer.

I emailed several companies today to get the full information.

What do I want to know:

1. Price for the online course

I would like to share with you the detailed information about low cost and high quality education.

If we really want to become a professional interior designer we would still want to save some money, so I am waiting for these stats.

2. How long would it take to study?

Some colleges still have the limits for learning.

You need to know it to organise your time.

I passes one of the classes that had due time of 1 month. Due dates also need to be because we will become lazy if don’t have these. (School Habit)

3. Helpers

You will definitely have questions during the course, so there need to be a teacher even if you are studying online.

They should be just in case.

4. Exams

Do online programs require taking exams?

What is the graduate degree to receive the certificate of interior designer? (if it gives any certificates)

Those are main FAQ while choosing the program in education.

If you have new questions that I didn’t mention here, just email me or comment below this post.

Room dividers is the necessity for today’s living.
More and more people start to live in small apartments and share the space.
The second reason to have the divider is dividing the space on different zones.
For example, you have a huge apartment but no walls inside it. In this case you would need to separate kitchen from the bedroom or bedroom from the living room.
Anyway, screens are very useful for any home.
I will share top interior ideas how to divide your space at home.

A. Bookshelf

Nowadays people use computers and smarphones for reading, but we still have the shelves for clothes, decorations or any other stuff.
You may use this furtniture as a room divider. White is ideal color for any interior.

B. Ceiling Screens

Sometimes they are similar to curtains.

You may choose them when you still want to see all your corners.

They are used just to visually make your home look like all ordinary: with the bedroom, kitchen and office.

C. DIY Divider

There are a lot of interesting ideas how to make your own room dividers. And to tell the truth, it should be the separate post just for summarizing at least half of best ides.

Today I added the easiest ones.

It’s one of the types that may be interesting to you.

R. Bright Statues

To separate your space you may need just large statues or funiture.To make them useful, rearrange them and place where you need the virtual wall.

If you plan bathroom shower remodeling then this post will help you to start and find some interesting ideas.

We will start with the summer looking curtain – striped and bright fabric is an ideal combination for the outdoor shower.

Secondly, you can remodel to transparent surface.

Thirdy, showers with the frames look very stylish,especially when your room is designed in classical tones and shapes.

One more idea is decorating your bathroom as if it is a room. Wall decoration looks very harmonious with the curtains.

Finally, easy to do curtain with funny frills. Kids will definitely like this idea.

Patio covers is the main topic for discussion when you think about rest.
Warm weather inspires us to renovate our homes.
Currently we try to spend more time outdoors, so designing the patio is very important.
Covered patio will help to hide from the rain, spicy sun or wind.
Here are the ideas for exterior that I found to make your life more comfortable.

The easiest way is to cover with the ordinary transparent fabric.
It will still give you a pleasant joy from the sun, but will protect from leaves or any other falling stuff:)

Thicker fabric will be better for the regions with the rainy weather.

Patio umbrella will be useful for the smaller spaces. Of course, you can find huge umbrellas or place several of them, but usually they are used to hide the circle of the outdoor furniture set.

Do you know what’s the difference between professional interior design and self made?

I will explain you basic mistakes of interior designing and start my tutorial in the form of mistakes and conclusions.

If you want to create comfortable space for your family then these tips are for you.

A lot of inspiring photos in fashion, interior and cooking can be found there.

interior design tips

1. No focal point

Any place has its functions and you need to accent them.

For the bedroom the center will be the bed.

For the dining room the focal point will be the dining table.

For the cabinet, the office table will be the main thing.

For the living room, the place for reading may be the most important place for you.

For the garden, the focal point can be the bench or a tea table.

These main functional points shouldn’t be placed in the center of the room.

You can and in most cases you will place them in the center.

But these objects are the starting point for your decorations.

Look through the interiors in the internet.

You will easily find the focal point in the professionaly designed rooms.

Take a look at the picture above. There are two center points.

The first one is the bed and the second one is the table near the window.

These two places look separated, but when you look deeper they have similar interior idea.

The chairs and the bed have floral pattern.

White furniture is also decorated in one style.

You can find numerous details that combine and harmonize the whole room.

So, specify the main purpose of the room.

Decorate the main object or objects that you will use here.

The other part of the room should end the interior of the room with there details: patterns, color, sizes.

Good luck!

I will continue the series of the interior designers’ mistakes in the nearest time.

Each house has this special and almost holy place for storing all the stuff.
But not all houses can boust of great organising ideas of their closets.
Closet designs is what I really want to share with you.
Because clutter is the usual thing we try to organise daily.
Unofrtunately, sometimes we are run out of energy to do all this routine.
So I’m going to help you to make your life easier.
Here are fue interior ideas for your new dream closet.

Bright wallpaper plus shelves

Numerous shelves are great because all different dresses, bags, shoes, glasses, belts etc will have their place. And now your stuff will be organised.

One more trick is the wallpaper. The brighter the better. Why? Because you will firstly look on the design of the room and only after this on the storages. Imagine that this room doesn’t have pink wallpaper. What do you see? This closet design will become an ordinary shoe store. Do you need to have such design at home? I don’t think so.

Hangers and Boxes of one style

One style is the set. The sets are for the professionals that know how to easily create harmony at home.
Blue background and same colored boxes equal perfect design.

Cheap but several storages

If you want to have cheap but costly style of your closet, then please buy several items of one color or designed similary. It creates a peacful symphony but in your house.

Organise by colors

Just look on the photo and you will undetand what I mean.

Curtains is your saver

Hide everything that you need using curtains.
It would be very good if they are from the same theme as your room is.
But if you don’t have an opportunity to buy new curtains, don’t be afraid to experiment and try what you already have at home. The fabric of the high quality would be a great benefit, but not the main reason why we are choosing them. Please make sure that they are not transparent, because your stuff will be seen and the fabric won’t make any sense.

Dining room chandeliers make the whole room look differently.
Just imagine how empty the space will be without lighting and this additional interior decor.
Today I added a list of dining rooms with chandeliers.
Designers would be happy to find this post, because 20 photos of classic, modern and strange designs are listed here.

What main points should be in your mind while choosing the new bra or a lamp.
First of all, the style of the room. You need to follow it to create comfortable place for living.
Secondly, the color of the chandelier should be properly chosen. Red lamp in the green design will definitely look not so good, as white or beige.
And finally, the price. It doesn’t usually matter what’s the price of your new item, but it should fit the whole interior!
If you follow the style of your dining, you will win “The best interior design”.
