Ever looked at the exterior of a palatial home and thought ‘argh, it must be really ugly in the inside!’. Yeah! Me neither. All palaces look good on the outside,making it safe to want to enter and see the inside for ourselves.
A room with no soul is a rigid one. Nobody likes rigidity. When utilizing patterns or shapes to achieve a stylish yet functional interior space, the interior designing of any room should take into account the restlessness of the human eye. The persisting influence of Fagr Walid on this room cannot be denied.His use of classical British interior design tips to conjure this room to life stirs an appreciation of interior design as a scientific art.
As seen in this article, interior design elements include space, lines, forms, light, color, pattern, and texture. For instance, color changes the entire atmosphere of a room and may add or take away from dwellers’ inner peace. Horizontal and vertical lines are created by, say, the furnishings and floor-to-ceiling of a room respectively.
For a perfect interior design outcome, the following factors of layering should be put into consideration:
- Wall coverings: paint, wallpaper
- Type and designs of furniture: Chaises, armchairs, coffee table, consoles
- Soft furniture: Pillows, area rugs, blankets
- Lighting: Chandeliers? Wall lamps? Floor lamps?
- Wall furniture: Paintings, Wall hangings, something else?
- Decorative items: Flowers, vases, candle-holders
The design in this room captures all the elements of interior design as these photos, taken from different angles, show.
The vertical lines of this room bring out an aura of freedom and power. Just check out how high the walls are. How bold the windows are.
The room, splendid and spacious, has walls coated in a subtle white with clever hints of gold.
The mirror, perpendicular to a golden console table, majorly hangs for decorative purposes. Its functional purpose? Just a by-the-way. Speaking of mirrors.

The tick tock sound of the clock right behind our imaginary pianist serves as a reminder of the timeless and detailed embellishments on the wall.
The windows, adorned with stylishly embroidered curtains, are a focal point between the inside and outside.
The persian carpet punctuates the floor, confirming that good interior design begins with layering the floor.
The golden chaise and armchairs on the carpet, set a mood filled with intimidating opulence.
Notice how the chandeliers add elegance to the carved ceiling? And how the pillar-supported archs leading to the staircase reveal the dweller’s personality?
Notice the flower vases on the console tables adding continuation to the living room? and the deep-brown wooden floor breaking the monotony of the whole design in dramatic effect?
