Putting contrast in your layout

Contrast is the idea of putting to opposing colors or ideas next to each other. Using contrast works well to move your eye to a certain location of the room, or in a predetermined pattern. For the best color contrast look at a color wheel and choose colors that are opposite one another. Using contrast in a room, is like using salt with food, you use to much and you get overwhelmed quickly. The standard is to restrain yourself to one contrast in a room, this way it doesn't get cluttered.

Floor Plan Design and Preparation

Every great designer knows to start with a plan. A plan ensures that you are getting exactly what you want, and helps you avoid wasting time. The essentials that you will want to have to start are a floor plan and a budget. A floor plan can be as simple as a sketch that was drawn by hand or a print of a room that you would like to copy. There are many room designs both online and off. Simply take note of a great room that you saw at a friends house and make notes on what you liked and what you didnt. Take these notes and modify your plan. Now that you are ready to buy, you will want to break out your budget to make sure that you don't overspend. It does not matter how great a miniature is, if it makes you overspend you probably will regret it when you need that money for other items. In my opinion it is better to save up for a nice piece of furniture rather than going ahead with a cheap copy.
