Ever question about how to deal with that exposed bricks in your living room or fine concrete wall in the garden? Well, we have Ar. Onal Kothari on board for you to guide : How to design with architectural elements rather than against it.
Ignorance is never a solution
Hiding undesirable architectural feature with partitions,colours, overloaded unmatched artworks could have the opposite effect than your house style.The ideal way to get the most out of your element is by considering it as focal point of your space and design around it.
Colours for wow factor
Colours complimenting focal point and furniture adds wow factor to any space. White and black leads the direction. While Cool and warm colours are the visual magnetism of the area. Remember that complementing with the existing architectural color scheme will be more successful than ignoring it completely. And furnishing the room with the same color as the architectural feature will be cherry on the top.
Balance between heavy and light weight furnishing
Value the design balance. Oversized furniture with light delicate souvenir, tiny flower hanged parallel to the strong framing or even the tiny legs of sofa, everything contrast with the architectural feature had the power to make and break the space appeal.
