Take advantage of design software that professional designers, architects and even landscapers have come to depend on to work out their design ideas and client orders.
It's a mistake to think that these professionals do all their projects by simply working from paper sketches. Some may choose to jot down ideas with paper and pencil, but more and more professionals have incorporated interior design software to get those amazing design configurations.
Now many homeowners as well are taking advantage of simpler versions of the very same software in order to create a custom home or redecorate a home's interior.
With these new "user friendly versions" you won't need to have a graduate degree to create your own interior design and decorating plans.
What are the benefits of using interior design software? First and foremost it will alleviate the backbreaking work of moving things around physically in order to discover what works best.
Interior Design software comes with every aspect of 3 dimensional home related images so they can easily be manipulated and moved around and applied to any configuration of space that has been entered with your specific dimensions.
This takes all the guess work out of how the arrangement will look. With the simple click of the mouse you can manipulate not only the furniture but the position of your view as well. See the room as if you were standing on a loft looking down or view it from the center of the room or standing against a wall or window.
Not only will you be able to rearrange the furniture you can have loads of fun with wall color, fabrics, accent pieces including pillows and pictures, window treatments and area rugs. The combinations that can be created are unlimited, so this is your design opportunity to throw caution to the wind.
Interior Design Software is perfect for the person that may feel uncomfortable or new to the entire design process. There is no risk of choosing the wrong wall color or furniture fabric. There are no mistakes as you play with the manipulative as much and as often you want until you get it just the way you want it.
For the more radical interior design projects such as changing the shape of a room or the planned replacement of kitchen cabinets, Interior design software is at the ready to rip, tear and remove any portion of your home and will also be done to the actual scale of the measurements entered.
With interior design software you can romp without risk.
For example, maybe you have always been cautious with your wall colors. Now you can try out some no risk combinations that are attractive but less familiar to your color experience. Try moving away from the neutrals and throw on some purple, watermelon or or even black to an accent wall or an entire room. Hang some virtual wall paper and if you don't like it - erase and try again!
Now you have unlimited license to try a new ceiling color in contrast to 1 or 2 sections of wall. Variations of flooring and trim will also be easily manipulated to ensure your choices compliment each other.
Nothing that relates to Interior Design is absent from a quality design software program. Work with small spaces to designing entire homes with completed landscapes can all be created from the comfort of your couch.
Most importantly, the money, time and energy you save by working things out on the computer first is tantamount to creating absolutely perfect interior design results with minimal frustration.

How to Reduce or Eliminate Your Mistakes in Interior Design and Decorating
We all reside in houses of one kind or another. When furnished, whether well done or not, they constitute the environment in which we spend the great part of our lives. These environments influence us continually and profoundly.
To the degree that your home is beautiful and comfortable affects us favorably and provides a wonderful haven for recuperation of mind and body. It also facilitates a richer and more satisfying life. To the degree that it is uncomfortable and lacking in beauty, it provides the exact opposite. This can develop into a potentially devastating degree.
As you can see, a properly furnished home is a very significant matter. It affects your life, as well as your attitude and ambitions. Your home should be an environment that is as supportive of your life as possible. Therefore, knowledge of how to furnish a house properly is very meaningful.
Beauty and comfort in a home do not result from chance or happen by accident. They result from the proper application of a reasoned process. Two quotes on the back of my business card illustrate this perfectly. They are the foundations of my business philosophy. Firstly, "Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort." Secondly, "When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece."
Transforming a blank canvas into a picture or carving a block of stone into a beautiful sculpture is comparatively less creative of an endeavor than transforming an empty house into a place of beauty and comfort. The major distinction between the painting or sculpture and a house is that you are looking at the artwork. In the home you are not only looking at the interiors, but you're also enveloped in them. Therefore, interior design and decoration is also an art of selection and arrangement in a three-dimensional environment. This will require knowledge, appreciation, discrimination, and good judgment. Since interior design is a part of architecture, like a hand in a glove, it differs from painting and sculpture in that it has a very practical aim. Your home must not only look good, but function well. Being supportive of your lifestyle is the end goal.
When you set out to furnish your home, you face a threefold problem.
You must select and arrange items that suit the age, sex, and temperament of the individuals; whether one or many, as well as meet the needs, express the tastes and aspirations, and fit the budget.
You must see to it that the furniture and accessories are selected and arranged to suit the home in terms of scale, proportion, coloring, and style. It may be eclectic, transitional, traditional, or contemporary.
Finally, you must see to it that these things are not only suitable, but also good-looking and aesthetically pleasing. In addition, they must all combine to form a harmonious and beautiful whole.
The treatment of your house and each room within it involves the interplay of three factors, which I differentiate as the personal, the architectural, and the aesthetic. No decorative problem, however simple or complex, can be solved correctly and appropriately unless each of these factors is properly considered and given their due importance in order to achieve ideal results.
Even though the personal factor is of extreme importance, the architectural factor is one of the first things taken into account. The size and other physical characteristics of the rooms will determine what goes into them.
The personal factor is critical from the point that houses are for people, and a house exists to make adequate provision for the satisfaction, needs, and preferences of the individuals that will inhabit it. The prior statement is simple common sense, yet professionals as well as nonprofessionals ignore it frequently. Many look at it as "decorating" without due consideration for personal aspects relative to the real needs and preferences of the occupants.
This is not about fads or the newest craze! You must never forget that if you choose to disregard the personal factor, or make it of subordinate importance, you will pay the price in loss of comfort and beauty. If your main concern is to comply with the newest fad or craze of the hour, you may experience an hour's satisfaction. But you will most assuredly fail in achieving any dignity and individuality, or the fine flavor of distinction found only in homes whose decoration and design are established on the studied needs and tastes of the occupants.
As far as the aesthetic factor is concerned, making the furnishings fit the house is also of great importance as well as making them fit the people who live there. A properly furnished home meets all the real needs, both practical and aesthetic, of all the occupants, and relates them to the architectural factors as well. This paves the way for a pleasing and harmonious composition that is unique and personal.
Briefly, here is what you need to consider. Imagine three intersecting circles. I'll name them Circle A, Circle B, and Circle C. Circle A represents the total number of things available, without reference to their suitability, and are intrinsically good-looking, or pleasing in an aesthetic way. Circle B represents the total number of items that would satisfy your personal requirements. Circle C is the total number of elements that would satisfy the architectural requirements. The small area where all three circles intersect is the "sweet spot." This specifies the total amount of items and elements that are capable of satisfying all the conditions... the personal, the aesthetic, and the architectural. The remaining are the choices that you are limited to, in order to create the most holistic design possible. This will eliminate all the "fluff" and potential errors that could ruin your surroundings.
Dream big and allow yourself potentially wonderful results that greatly enrich your life!
