Interior Design Couple Counseling

What is this all about and how does it apply to you. If you are a home owner and you are married or living with a partner, I am sure that you have had more than one argument over the interior design of your home. In fact when buying a new home or remolding an existing home fighting with your partner about what color to paint the walls, what furniture works, flooring, window covering is inevitable. A home is very personal, it is our retreat from the outside world, a place where we entertain and raise our families. When two people come together, and combine their lives in a dwelling, they both are going to have their own style and ideas on how their house should look. I find this to be especially true for couples who move in together in their 30″s and older. Most of them have already lived alone and have personal belongings that they want to put into their new home.

I have even worked with couples that have completely different taste and we still were able to make it work.

Sometimes couples will get lucky and one partner just does not care, this article is not for you. This article is also not for the couples who are angry at one another and use designing their home as a war path of disagreements. This article is for the couples who are having a hard time agreeing and want to learn how to make it work. The key element is the willingness of wanting to make it work, and using the tools available. I have been an interior designer for 15 years and have a Masters degree in Marriage and family therapy, over the years I have helped many couples with their design dilemmas.

Here are a few suggestions to get you started. Magazines are a wonderful tool in figuring out what you like and showing it to your partner.

Spend some time thumbing through design magazines and getting to know what one another likes. Write down what both of you agree on and what both of you do not agree on. Compromise is the key: Take the time to listen to each other. Each person pick out four items that you just can’t live without. Those four items that you each picked has to be a part of your home. For example, one person may love the color blue, this color has to be in the design of your interior, it can be paint, or fabric, bedding ect. One person may say I can’t live without carpet and the other person may have allergies and carpet is a dust collector, solution: area rug, non-toxic 100% wool carpet, or just carpet one room.

Once the two of you have come up with your list of must have’s and absolutely must not haves, research a good designer to help you put it all together. Gather your magazines, with the pictures that each of you like and sit down with the designer and start to put the samples together. Doing this work before you meet with the designer will save you money on time and aggravation. Show the designer around your home and pick out the pieces of furniture that will stay and what needs to be replaced. If the two of you have a hard time working together, then one of you has to be the team captain, then later you can sit down with your partner and go over all of the details.

The best investment you can make in your home and in your marriage is taking the time to listen to one another and create a home that reflects both of your personalities. I have even had couples, who choose a separate room in their home to reflect their taste, or one person picked out the wall color and the other person picked out the furniture.

Remodeling For Retirement – Universal Design

Retirement… the word may conjure up visions of living it up in Florida, but 70% of senior Americans decide to spend the rest of their lives in the same place they were when they turned 65. If you’re planning for the future, think carefully about your home. How easy will it be to climb multiple staircases? Could you open doors and turn knobs? Will you be able to reach the necessary things in your kitchen?

 

If the answers to these questions are mostly “no,” you should consider remodeling your house with easy living in mind – and it’s better to make these renovations before you need them. Universal design takes into account the needs of all of a home’s occupants. Below are some principals that home remodelers consider.

 

• At least one entrance to the house should be “barrier free.” Not only does this mean ramps but also paying attention to curbs or doorframes that might trip someone up.

Outside lighting should be good.

 

• The best easy living design puts all the rooms you need – kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry room-on one level. Or consider installing an elevator. You also need wider corridors and doorways. Floors should be made of non-slip materials.

 

• A kitchen remodeling project should plan to lower the stove, cabinets, and counters to bring them within reach of someone seated. You should have floor space for maneuverability.

Pull-out or pull-down fixtures in cabinets also help.

 

• Not only do showers and bathtubs need handrails, but consider installing a seat. Bathroom remodelers also recommend a walk-in shower or even a walk-in tub. Toilets should be lower than standard and the room should have plenty of floor space. Faucets should have easy-to-operate levers.

 

Universal design helps ensure your home is comfortable at any age.

It takes a broadminded approach to achieve an outstanding effect, and can extend from decor, lighting, colour and of course space planning.

The need for an ‘emotional culture’ in our living environment is rising. The designer needs to reach a level where the user and him can connect as only when their wavelengths match is when the desired result is achieved.

This is because interior designing is all about individualism. The best out of the designer will evolve only then as this is not a product to be sold, it’s a service which is unique for each individual. Work becomes relaxation, effort becomes challenge.
