Interior Design Trend-Redesign

The current interior design trend of redesign is driven by the recent economic downturn (Thankfully, I feel a little up-swing, hopefully you do too!)

Many homeowners are opting for a one day makeover,or redesign, of their interiors using existing furnishings, art and accessories. It can be a DIY project or you can hire a professional designer. Either way , it’s a fun adventure and the results can be quite dramatic, giving you a “new lease on life” by enhancing the quality of the way you live.

I remember when I was a kid, my Mom was always rearranging the furniture. Coming home from school, I would walk in to a completely new and exciting home, even though she used what we already had, but in a fresh and different way. It really gave you a wonderful emotional lift!

Redesign is about personalizing your spaces by repositioning and repurposing your existing furnshings, art and accessories to breathe new life into your home and enhance your lifestyle.

You need to start with a focal point, usually but not always, the sofa for a great or living room, the bed for a bedroom or a large and important piece of art or group of artwork. Remove all art and accessories to a “selection room”, maybe the kitchen or garage, then you can see the space as a blank canvas and begin to “paint” your new design. Now is a great time to edit and eliminate a lot of clutter and do some “spring” cleaning. Collections or groups of like objects are best used together and not scattered throughout the room.

With the help of a few friends or a professional designer,this interior design trend is an economical way to refresh and renew your rooms today and make a plan for future new purchases, if desired. It’s really great fun and the posibilities are limited only by your creativity and imagination!
