5 Interior Design Myths We Think Need Busting!

 

Myth 1: Clutter is bad.

Truth: Artfully organised clutter is very cool.

 

Myth 2: Indoor plants are old fashioned and naff!

Truth: They have always been, and always will be, great when well tended and over scaled.

 

 

Myth 3: Don’t put too many things in small spaces.

Truth:  Small spaces with nothing much in them are depressing; make them cosy nooks with lots of intimate, inviting furnishings!

 

 

Myth 4: Dark walls will make a room feel dark and dreary.

Truth: They can actually maximise the feeling of light and highlight the furnishings in contrast.

 

 

Myth 5:  Bathrooms look best with big white tiles and caeserstone.

Truth: Australian bathrooms are SO boring. Let’s get funky and make them a destination! Does anyone agree, or are we being typically impractical designers?
