6 reasons to hire a professional

House and garden

Has anyone ever told you that hiring an interior decoration professional was a big waste? Although this thought is still common for Brazilians, a project based on studies can transform a simple home into a true source of warmth and comfort.

After all, each space is designed to meet the owners’ expectations. Therefore, they are personalized and individual.

Therefore, if you are still in doubt whether or not it is worth hiring this service, we have listed 6 reasons that reaffirm the importance of interior decoration for well-being and quality of life at home.

What does an interior designer do?

Many people believe that the objective of this professional is to choose the furniture and color palette for the project. However, the interior decoration professional does much more than that. He is responsible for making the rooms of the house more practical and pleasant for the residents.

As a result, the personality of those who live in the residence is essential to creating not only a beautiful aesthetic, but also organized environments.

According to architect Isabella Nalon, a well-executed decoration project should be synonymous with well-being and quality of life.

“Until a while ago, many people still believed that the decoration of environments was only aimed at residents with high purchasing power. Fortunately, this perception has changed, as clients are understanding that, regardless of the size of the project or the budget for the renovation, it is essential to consider the intelligent use of all spaces in the house. And the role of the architectural professional is fundamental to help save money on choices”explains the professional.

Furthermore, Isabella listed 6 reasons that prove that interior decoration is essential in residential projects.

1. Quality of life

Whether it is an apartment with a reduced square footage or a slightly larger one, the distribution of the layout is essential to offer comfort to residents. “Freer” environments, with the volume of furniture and objects that really make sense in the area, contribute to the much-desired quality of life at home.

One of the principles of architecture is the commitment to guaranteeing a good life for the inhabitants of the house. Besides aesthetics, of course.

The furniture chosen must be to the taste of the residents, but it is also important that the decor provides comfort and is suitable for the proposed lifestyle. After all, this will directly interfere with your routine.

As a result, an interior decoration project needs to be able to bring out positive sensations in the home, such as warmth, happiness, pleasure and reasons to reduce stress.

“In this sum, we still consider colors and the addition of complementary items, such as cushions, pictures and books, to be the best decision”highlights Isabella.

2. Functionality

This without leaving aside a valuable attribute for the owners – the inclusion of a table, which in turn is accompanied by a bench to display what is needed during daily meals, such as family breakfast.

The rush of everyday life makes an organized and practical home essential for reducing stress. Therefore, interior decoration is also responsible for delivering functionality to spaces.

Some elements that contribute to this are shelves, niches, drawers and other custom-made pieces. This way, the resident can have the most used objects within reach and will also be able to put them in their place after use.

“Without a doubt, the best way to balance the two measures is to count on the support of a professional, who will be able to unify visual harmony with practical solutions developed according to the characteristics of the property”explains the architect.

3. Renewal

Another advantage of hiring an interior decoration professional is the possibility of changing the decor style whenever you want. After all, human beings are always changing and, consequently, it is important that your home keeps up with these changes.

“Whenever possible, take the opportunity to carry out a metamorphosis. Choose colors that reflect your essence, mood and who you have become in this new phase.”Isabella guides.

4. Sustainability

The sustainable and conscious use of everything we consume and buy is also linked to the interior decoration of the house. This is because it is a lifestyle that is based on ecologically correct choices.

Therefore, opting for materials and solutions that generate less impact on the environment is a reality in the world of architecture.

Most of the time, sustainability is associated with the reuse of materials, as a transformation or restoration of what we already have.

On the other hand, there are those who prefer recycled or reforested materials to create furniture and decorative objects with a unique design.

5. Celebration

Having an organized and decorated home is an invitation to gather friends and family.

“After all, who doesn’t feel uncomfortable receiving guests when the structure of the property has a problem, right? This feeling is immediately overcome when the resident feels confident with changes that are often super simple”reflects the architect.

An interior designer offers creative solutions to add comfort not only to residents, but also to visitors. “It can be just one visitor or a large group, but everything will work and flow better with well-thought-out decoration, which includes furniture and even circulation”details.

6. Activation of memories and feelings

Have you ever looked at a photo and found yourself smiling at the good memory it brought back? So, how about placing it in a visible place in the decor to always have that good feeling?

Activating the universe of memories and good feelings is a resource also used in interior architecture. To do this, it is possible to add a series of elements, in addition to photos, such as travel souvenirs or furniture that has been passed down through generations.

These details highlight the history of the residents. However, you need to be careful when using them. After all, exaggeration can make the environment feel old-fashioned.

“Our care is to always promote an essence of lightness and the awakening of emotions in the right way”concludes the interior decoration professional.
