Interior Design Beat

Here and now, I am challenging you to think about and become aware of compositions in your interior design environment, and from a completely different angle and point of view. I'll be comparing interior design focal points with focal views that I promote in a way like you have never heard before! In the realm of interior design, you always hear a lot about focal points. You need your room or rooms to be engaging from all directions. You have to consider that you're going to be looking at the room from various points and from various angles, so give yourself something enjoyable to look at and experience. Let's make your environment engaging, no matter which way you turn! Therefore, it it vital to implement Focal Views vs. Focal Points in Your Interior. If you base your room around the concept of focal points, at certain times it may or will be the focal point, and at other times it won't be the focal point. It may lose its' balance and equilibrium at different times and under different circumstances. I think the concept of focal views is much more realistic. Because that's the way we actually see. We don't look and see points, per say. We look and see views. You don't look outside your hotel window and say, "What a wonderful point." You say, "What a wonderful view." When you go to a restaurant, you don't request that you get the best point, but the table with the best view. Now, it might be the best point in the restaurant, but that best point is the one that has the best view. Now you can see how important it is to put the emphasis on Focal Views vs. Focal Points in Your Interior Design. When you enter a room, you see a focal composition or you view a composition, and that composition changes as you move about the room … and turn … and look in different directions. Therefore, the focal point within the focal view changes every time you turn around, just as if you're looking through a viewfinder in a camera or camcorder. There's no doubt that every composition has a focal point within the composition, whether it be a painting, a photograph, or a room. But we don't want to fixate on that exclusively, especially in a room where we walk into a 3-D surround environment. We want our eye to move … we don't want things to be static. We want movement, very much like music. We want things not only to flow, but we also want things to be rhythmic and dynamic with points of emphasis and relaxation, or rest. So the eye can be in motion, but also alight and rest on something of interest that can be contemplated. The idea of focal views is to allow your eye to "take it all in" while at the same time allowing your eye to dwell on things of interest. Focal Views vs. Focal Points in Your Interior Design and Interior Decorating allow you to accomplish this. In this way, you are able to experience your environment in a much more full-bodied way. I think you'll enjoy this new point of view and be delighted with a newfound sensibility to your surroundings and environments wherever you reside, and wherever you go. Focal Views vs. Focal Points in Your Interior Design ... Focal Views is the best way to go.

Without a doubt, lighting is one of the most important elements in your interior design environment. Proper lighting enhances the mood of your room, and in many cases, it is the dominating influence in creating the mood. It's all about Lighting Your Residential Interiors ... Right! Flexibility and adjustability are two of the greatest powers in lighting. Because of this, you can vary the lighting effect and the expression of any room. With the flick of a switch or the dial of a rheostat, you can alter dramatically how a room is perceived. When properly utilized, this variable aspect of lighting is a preeminent property. Not only is it practical and utilitarian, it also has superior artistic abilities when used properly. Not only is it practical and utilitarian, it also has great artistic potential when used properly. Many people spend a lot of money on their furniture, furnishings, and their home but comparatively little on lighting and the effects the lighting can have. In lighting your residential interiors, it's not just merely the decorative effects of a fixture, but the actual effects and its ability to render all the aspects of an interior environment for the greatest experience possible. Most people look at artificial lighting as a pure utility and don't even recognize its potentiality as an artistic, and even more broadly, a psychological medium and until they understand that, they very rarely provide the type of system and wiring necessary to extract the full joy from it. We have at our command the absolute control of lighting in terms of its direction, its distribution, its diffusion, and the color of light, which can all be modified at will so it has absolutely the greatest potential for creating a phenomenal interior design environment, making even expensive things look even more phenomenal, or bring a mundane home into the realm of greater levels of richness by lighting your interiors correctly. Here's a stupendous and wonderful fact that will impress upon you how important lighting is. And it's this: There's no color in objects. The colors are in the light. The array of colors is distinguishable in the rainbow, which is sunlight decomposed by refraction in the raindrops. In a similar manner, a glass prism separates light into its component parts. Each fundamental spectral color being the sensation produced by radiant energy of a certain wave-length. By combining these components in various proportions, all the myriad colors are obtainable. Objects have the ability to reflect certain of these components and to absorb others. Thus, an object is red because it reflects only these rays. A white or gray object appears of of that color under "normal" illumination, or the lighting, because it is neutral ... That is, it reflects all the components equally well. A slight appreciation of this aspect of light is necessary if one is to be able to utilize light in an understandable way. I have a whole webinar and seminar that goes deeply into this aspect … and it's highly revealing. And you'll gain an appreciation of lighting and its effects like you've never had before. It's all about how you handle Lighting Your Residential Interiors. So make your home come to life by lighting your interiors in a skillful and professional way ... with a skillful professional.
