As the owner of a San Francisco interior design firm, I have accumulated long lists of good design tips! Below are three of my top tips that are sure to save you valuable time and effort.
1. Know Your Clearances
Placing furniture correctly will help create a functional room with good flow.
• Allow 36” for a major walkway, or 24”-30” for a traffic path between furniture.
• Cocktail tables should be placed 16-18” from your sofa.
2. Bathroom Remodeling Cheats
ALWAYS order 15% more tile than your square footage dictates.
Don’t forget trim pieces! Anytime a material ends you will need a trim piece.
3. Pick Two Paint Colors – Not One
Get rid of the idea that you should pick one paint color for each room. Start with narrowing your options down to 4-5 specific hues, then after taping up paint chips on the wall you should be able to narrow the options down to two. Paint a 1 foot square of each color on multiple walls and make sure to notice the way the color changes throughout the day. After living with the color for a day, you are ready to fully commit!
