THE MY DECORATOR PODCAST | Interior DesignShow Notes
***** Don't miss our story at the beginning of the show!
1. Utilise Colour – Interior Designers use tools such as colour psychology, colour theory and awareness of a rooms natural light and temperature feel for designing and decorating a room. These are all key considerations that are used as one of many elements that go toward making a lounge room feel more inviting.
2. Use Texture – Adding texture to a space can make it feel more dimensional, comfortable and inviting. Interior Designers use textures like velvet, linen, boucle and wool to make a lounge room feel cosy and really elevate the space to more sensory and interesting heights. Texture goes a long way in making a room feel approachable.
3. Incorporate Lighting – Interior Designers incorporate a mix of artificial and natural lighting into their interior design schemes. The use of ambient, task, accent and decorative lighting types are key to lighting any given room. Using a variety of floor and table lamps, overhead lighting, accent lighting, mood lighting all serve to create a beautiful sense of atmosphere and character to the room. Properly placed lighting can also create a sense of depth to the space.

Welcome to The My Decorator Show, where we explore how to create homes that look beautiful, feel welcoming and truly work for the way you live.
Welcome to The My Decorator Show, where we explore how to create homes that actually work for the life you’re living. In this episode, we explore what slow living can look like in interior design — and why creating a home you love doesn’t always begin with buying something new. From shopping your own home first to avoiding isolated purchases, we look at how pausing before making decisions can help you create a more considered, cohesive and personal home. We also explore why good interior design is about more than choosing beautiful things. It’s about understanding how you actually live, considering your home as a whole, and creating a clear direction for the changes you want to make over time. If your home no longer feels quite right but you’re unsure where to begin, a Design Consultation is the ideal first step. Together, we can look at how you live throughout your home, what is and isn’t working, what could be adapted or repurposed, and where thoughtful changes could make the biggest difference.
