The interior design scheme is generally understood as the decoration of the sky, the ground and the walls, the selection and design of doors and windows, and the arrangement of furniture, fabrics and decorations. Many of these works have laws and regulations to abide by, or have knowledge and laws to follow. However, in addition to the transformation of environmental hardware, home is a place to live, full of personal behavior. Therefore, the basic focus of design is always: people living in it, families living in it. How to grasp a space environment to convey a certain temperament directly or indirectly to visitors and make users feel a sense of belonging to the environment is far beyond the norm. Understanding and achieving this goal is the mission of a professional designer.
The background of the designer
After establishing this basic focus, we must strictly define the professional background that a qualified interior designer must have: we must systematically master applied psychology, social behavior and indoor basic physics; Must be familiar with architecture and environmental art; We must constantly track the design and innovation trends of decorative materials and furniture furnishings around the world; We should constantly supplement the deficiency of practical experience and real life experience from the construction site and real life; We must be highly sensitive to the new way of life and the relationship between people and the environment. The requirements of the above knowledge background are basic, and all personalized thoughts, styles and tastes should be based on this background. For an undergraduate who just stepped out of school, it is reasonable to study in a professional environment with re-education opportunities for 5- 10 years in order to become an independent designer who directly faces customers.
The source of excellent design
There is no unified conclusion on the determinants of a good design. I personally hope that young designers will pay attention to the following two aspects:
First, the principle of balance. When starting a spatial planning, we must always grasp this principle. Because balance is the natural expression of human activities, from toddlers to boating, all human activities are trying to find balance. For a family space, the principle of balance is equally important. The layout of space and the combination of decorative elements need to pay attention to the principle of balance.
Second, imagination. Imagination is an artistic expression like poetry, but it is by no means a distortion of reality. Imagination should be able to reflect the individual's cognition, view and control of the real world. Imagination comes from the combination of time and space, from the reception of information, from personal knowledge and cultivation.
Working concept of excellent design
To complete and realize a good design, we must have a clear working idea.
First, for an existing place, the initial work must start from five aspects: customer objectives, key points, basic norms, existing limitations and room for transformation.
Second, after understanding and mastering the above information, enter the scheme research stage. That is, according to the above five aspects of information, all the elements that meet all the basic needs of the owner's daily life are reflected in the design scheme. The basic design of these living needs must be approved by the owner. After the basic needs are recognized, it will enter the recognition of the visual effect and image realization of the scheme. Designers and customers must realize that this process of identity is often an opportunity for both sides to improve, and it is also a process of changing and optimizing their lifestyles. The change of living environment and people's own changes must be synchronized.
Basic Concepts of Interior Design in Europe
First, the primary goal of European interior design is to meet the basic needs of customers;
Secondly, European interior design pursues the style and quality of the overall environment, including heaven, earth, walls, furniture and furnishings;
Third, European interior design pays attention to the choice of materials, and pays more attention to brand and texture. So it is more rational and practical. In the choice of floor materials, because hot materials such as wood floors are more suitable for rest areas, and cold materials such as tiles and marble are used in living room areas, we will not avoid tiles because solid wood floors are more expensive; Due to the need of space function, different colors are selected for wall treatment. Sky blue, blue and green are more suitable for rest and thinking, more suitable for the walls of bedrooms and study rooms, while neutral warm colors such as * * * and beige are suitable for daytime activities such as living rooms and restaurants. The application of suspended ceiling mainly emphasizes the independence of space, so it is never exaggerated; In the choice of curtain fabric, more attention is paid to the coordination with window modeling and furniture in color and style; Pay full attention to the characteristics of cold and warm, indirect and direct lighting in the choice of lighting; We will communicate with the guest room in time on the purchase and arrangement of some decorative paintings and decorations in the scheme stage, and consider them in advance.
Differences of China's Interior Design Concepts
What are the differences between eastern and western interior design concepts? Many times, I have been thinking about this problem. Through the cooperation with China in the past two years, I want to talk about my personal understanding here:
In China, the rapid economic development that lasted for nearly 10 years has created a very broad development space for the construction industry. From several big cities I have been to, I can often see buildings that gather the best contemporary ideas and experiences. It should be said that as a designer, I am envious or even a little jealous of my domestic colleagues in such an era full of opportunities.
However, as far as the design of family housing is concerned, I think it is necessary to draw the attention of relevant government departments, design colleagues and developers to the following issues:
For example, the problem of natural lighting has never attracted the attention of planning departments, developers and architects, which is not only reflected in the orientation and design of doors and windows, but also in the spacing of many buildings. For another example, in order to make full use of the floor area ratio, the area and height of many multi-storey apartments are lower than the international standard; For example, from the design institute to the competent construction department, there are cases in which all majors are separated and often do not communicate with each other. As a result, all kinds of management and instrument discharge are often chaotic, and many pipelines are not only exposed, but also often not allowed to be rebuilt, which has caused huge space waste to customers. For another example, in order to reduce costs, developers often ignore the design and sanitary quality of lobbies, elevators and staircases, which leads to the decline of the overall quality of the property. I hope to appeal to all government departments, developers and architectural design institutes to strengthen market research, strengthen professional cooperation with interior designers, strengthen the basic knowledge of furniture and housekeeping, and consider the vital interests of future users and the rationality of space size from the perspective of project planning and structural design, especially bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other spaces that emphasize quality of life. With the assistance of the government and the care and consideration of design institutes and developers, the unnecessary extra decoration expenses of the owners will be effectively avoided, and the reputation of "beautiful and easy to use houses" will be formed.
And consumers' own understanding and behavior of how to reasonably complete a home plan also show many misunderstandings:
The most important thing is to overemphasize and exaggerate the importance of the transformation and decoration of the wall of heaven and earth. Many times, the decoration of the sky, the ground and the wall will account for most of the whole home design, and many of them have obvious and excessive publicity and performance. It seems that few people really realize that the house is for their own use. I hope the industry can guide more customers to have a correct idea. The most fundamental goal of home planning is to improve and improve the quality of life of the owners. At the same time, it is also necessary to help guests establish comprehensive evaluation standards such as privacy, functionality, elegance and cultural taste. Although this industry has been changing, the mission of improving the quality of life is eternal.
Secondly, it is about maintaining tradition. In the field of design, maintaining tradition is a mentality of respecting history and culture, rather than simply retro or antique. The change of interior design style is just like fashion, and the speed of innovation is independent of human will. Modern people's life needs modern environment and modern goods. However, an object of the past, an antique with a long history, no matter how much it is worth, will arouse people's deep thinking about the origin of culture and family.
Environmental protection is also a problem that consumers need to pay close attention to. Actively using some non-toxic and pollution-free decoration materials, replacing green household appliances, buying some furniture with recyclable materials and reducing the use of wood will play a practical role in protecting the environment and improving the environmental awareness of the next generation.
Finally, I hope that consumers can do what they can and budget scientifically. It should be noted that a complete home plan includes three aspects: design, decoration and furniture collocation, which should be fully grasped from the perspective of investment budget. Generally speaking, the investment ratio of decoration and furniture should be between 1: 1 or 1:2. At present, the actual expenditure ratio of many consumers is upside down. If the added value that should be reflected to industrial designers and interior designers is given to carpenters, where does good design come from?
