I don’t know about you but I constantly keep hearing about interior design rules, both old and new, many of which I end up writing about for Ideal Home. And some of them I also follow myself. But this got me wondering what design rules interior designers actually follow. So I asked them.
Whenever I speak to interior experts about design rules, they usually say that none of them should be hard and fast rules that feel constricting. Instead, they should act as guidelines if you’re not particularly confident or experienced in decorating and designing a home. But there are 2 rules that have come up that even interior designers respect and follow, whether it’s in regard to colour theory or creating a space that feels layered, interesting and functional.
