If you are considering your first interior design project you are likely intimidated by the enormity of the whole process. A new project may seem overwhelming or impossible, but the truth is that interior designing is not that hard. Read this article for help on your project.

Think of the purpose of the room before you design. You may want to design a kid's room to be bright and vibrant to match their lively personalities. On the other hand, such a palette would not be suitable for a home office or study.

Incorporate coordinating patterns and multiple textures in the space. Varying textures create interest and depth in a room, while patterns provide a contrast to smooth pieces such as wood furniture or window glass. If you're making a contemporary room, you must use textures and patterns.

Keep your room as uncluttered as possible when you are making changes to your interior's design. If you have too much accessories and furniture it will make a room feel even more cramped. Instead, select a few key pieces of furniture, and create as much open space as possible.
