HOME RENOVATION IN DUBAI - THE PAINS AND GAINS

Home Renovations and extensions can come with a great deal of stress and spending but it can be a hassel free experience and well worth doing one if planned in an organized and a systematic manner. Both your time and money will be well worth if you can follow these brief steps:

1. How you want the space to work for you?- Keep in mind the functions of the space also going forward as renovations don’t happen at the click of a finger.

2. Renovations cost well- Depending on the size of the project. Set a reasonable budget with provisions for variations. The nature of this work is such that you will encounter surprises during the course of execution.

3. Do it legal- Find out about the permits you require and have them sorted before getting started.

4. Seek out for a reliable partner- Even though you may feel confident about handling the job yourself at the start, the best approach is to hire a designer who will take you through a creative process to begin with. They will plan, schedule, supervise and manage the project to reach to an untroubled finish. Realize that it will likely take you a lot longer as an amateur to complete a job than a pro could do it.

5. Stick to the plan- Once you have finalized the design, cling to it as your reference guide. This is especially important if you are paying contractors to do the work. Any changes to the plans will cost you greatly in time and money. Changes can also affect the overall quality of the final product.

5 things you will save when you hire an interior designer

The common thoughts that come to you when designing your home is - Do I need an Interior designer or can I manage it better since I know exactly what I need. Here is why that thought needs rethinking:

a.     Saves you money

b.     Saves you time

c.     Saves you from stress

d.     Saves those poor mistakes

e.     Saves you getting drifted away

a.     Saves you money: Although hiring a designer comes at a cost, they will help you save on the project cost contributing to a long-term saving.

b.     Saves you time: Interior designers are responsible to monitor the contracting work thus making sure deadlines are met.

c.     Saves you from stress: This is crucial as there is no way back after the stress has taken a toll on your health during the strenuous process.

d.     Saves those poor mistakes: You are always in a dilemma while taking a small decision of picking the right color or fabric or finish to a complex one like the detail of a functional wardrobe a kitchen or a complete home transformation. The eye for details that lies with a designer is unequalled.

e.     Saves you getting drifted: It’s easy to engage in beautiful things but not necessarily the one that truly reflects your style. A great designer works around your needs giving your home a distinct flavor.

CHARACTERISTIC:
Modern interior design employs a sense of simplicity included in all aspects of its details which has given it everlasting relevance. Modernism interior design was actually born late 19th century and early 20th century. It reached its pinnacle in the 1950’s and 1960’s. This is the reason that this style or form of design is also known as the mid-century designs and slowly declined with movements like Post-Modernism taking shape. Especially in art and architecture, modern design elements form the basis of many contemporary homes. Bauhaus, De Stijl, and Futurism also form part of Modernism, adding depth to the style.

FEATURES:
Modern homes have clean, crisp lines and are without a fuss, yet they can be comfortable and cozy. “Form follows function” is one of the most important principles that govern modernist designs. The need to simplify forms originated from the rapidly growing cities that required an alternative to traditional design intricacy.

MATERIALS:
A fuss-free approach incorporates new materials like reinforced concrete and steel for building structures. The use of new materials also flows within the interiors with use of metal, glass and steel.

COLORS:
A simple color palette involving a lot of neutral color tones.

ACCESSORIES:
Simple shapes and textures.

CLASSICAL STYLE IN INTERIOR DESIGN

CHARACTERISTIC:

Classical interior design, deep rooted in Europe, is a blend of both Greek and roman interior design. This designing basically deals with perfect harmony, balance and order. Classic style is mixed a lot with traditional style. They may be similar in how you experience the space but the history within can make all the difference.

FEATURES:

Classical homes often feature dark, finished wood, rich colour palettes, and a variety of textures and curved lines. There is depth and layering within every detail. Other key features of the classic interior style include urns, marble, carving in wood and stone, dentil moulding, columns, swags in both drapery and decorative motifs, architectural nods (broken pediments, domes, friezes and cornicing), and murals.

COLORS: 

Rich and dark color palette from almost the entire color palette can be used in the scheme. Stark contrast can add highlights but be careful not to mix too much. 

MATERIALS: 

Dark wood finishes, marbles for hard finishes, gold and silver in accessories add richness. Furnishings have elaborate and ornate details and fabrics, like velvet, silk and brocade, which may include a variety of patterns and textures.

ACCESSORIES:

Crystal chandeliers, Table lamps in stone and metal, decorative trims and tie-backs in curtains, sculpture, glass and marble accents, murals on the walls and ceiling, intricate handwoven rugs can all add to the grandeur of the classical design.

CONTEMPORARY STYLE IN INTERIOR

Today we talk about Contemporary Style which is the most predominantly practiced style in interior design. It almost comes naturally to most people and is also what you would see in majority of the homes.

CHARACTERISTIC:
It is certainly easy to confuse contemporary design and modern interior design.One of the main differences between them is the age above all else. Contemporary design refers to what is currently new and innovative while modern design refers to a specific era in design history.

FEATURES:
The most obvious and distinctive element of a contemporary style interior design is the line. For example, contemporary style may include curve lines, whereas modern design does not. Whether straight vertical or horizontal lines or curved shapes, strong visible lines are evident in any contemporary-style home. In contemporary interiors, less is more.Having said less but not going towards minimalistic.

COLORS: 
Neutrals, black, and white are the main colors in contemporary style interiors. Black is often used for grounding and defining a contemporary style room. The palette is often punched up and accented with bright and bold colors that play against neutrals. 

MATERIALS: 
Ample use of metal, stone, and opaque or clear glass works well in contemporary style. Heavily textured fabrics in plain colors for soft furnishing warm-up the space. Matt/Semi-glossy surfaces for floor and hard furnishing adds sophistications.

ACCESSORIES:
The lighting design is used as an artistic statement in a contemporary interior. Track lighting and recessed lighting help to wash a wall in light. Include color or and metallic elements on lighting/accents and contemporary style sculptures. Artworks look right when placed at eye level.
