5 INTERIOR DESIGN TIPS FOR LIVING ROOMS.

A lot of people find interior design a difficult task and that’s because they don’t know where to start, today I decided to share these 5 simple but useful tips to a perfect living room.

💡First and most importantly, you must create an atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, you can achieve this by making sure your living room space is:

Well ventilated with both natural air and artificial ventilation. Windows are very important and should be opened daily for fresh air to flow in.

Natural light 💡 through windows are also essential, windows should be positioned properly and should be large enough to admit enough natural light.

Indoor surfaces such as walls, tables, consoles, mirrors must be kept clean, well maintained and properly finished positioned for a perfect indoor environment.

💡Have a focal point for socializing and group conversations. In the western world, they mostly use fireplaces as focal points but in the tropical climates the most commonly used focal points are TVs and center pieces, you can also use an art 🖼️ piece, an indoor fountain ⛲️ or any bold indoor piece to create a focal point for your living room.

💡Ensure you pick appropriate sizes of furniture for your space and for longevity ensure the designs are minimalist so they don’t go out of fashion in no time. Arrange your furniture to conform with your focal point. Don’t go for trendy pieces else you will have to keep up with trends.

💡Opt for more neutral colors when it comes to more permanent elements such as walls, curtains, furnitures. You can throw in colorful accents such as throw pillows, rugs, blankets, and art pieces. You can use bright colors for statement when it comes to accents.

💡Incorporate plants and other objects that inspire relaxation and calmness into your living room. Indoor plants 🪴, scented candles 🕯️, incense lamps, humidifiers and soft music 🎼 work wonders for relaxation, incorporating them into your living space makes you feel more comfortable at home.

Hello there,

Have you met me?

Allow me to introduce myself:

My name is Rachel Guwom, my friends call me Bosschic.

I am God’s favorite person.

I come from a family of 8, I’m the 3rd child of 6 children, 30 years of age, a citizen of Nigeria and an indigene of plateau state by birth.

I attended the prestigious University of Jos, Plateau state, Nigeria from where I obtained both B.sc and M.sc in architecture.

I am a brilliant architect who is both skilled and passionate about design and construction, I seek to be a well known thought leader in architecture a few years from now.

I am into the private practice of architecture under the umbrella of RAIDS studio, an architectural and interior design firm which I registered in June, 2023.

I have also worked as an architect in a number of firms and with the 44 engineers brigade, 82 division of the Nigerian army, Enugu state, where I carried out my mandatory 1 year NYSC program, I supervised as a team with others a number of projects including the design and construction of the water treatment plant in Abakpa cantonment, the arms store at 103 battalion and several barracks renovations, as a result of that I was awarded a letter of recommendation by the then commander and received honors from the then governor of Enugu state.

I am a member of the YALI network and Global leadership network, bringing the right kind of leadership to Nigeria and Africa.

On this page I want to interact with you as an architect and interior designer, so get ready for a jolly good ride with me while I share my experiences, knowledge, projects, progress and more valuable contents as the days unfold.

Can I know more about you in the comments?

I want to sincerely thank you 🙏🏽, I mean everyone who has wished me a happy birthday 🎉 and said a prayer for me yesterday, I may never be able to understand how much you love and appreciate me, I may never be able to reciprocate but know that I appreciate you.

The calls, the messages and the posts and the comments were endless, I will try my best to respond to everyone but if I can’t please don’t take it that I value you less, life has become so busy that I may not have the time or the algorithm may not allow me see your post or comment.

I love how you love me and I promise to never give up on me too.

Cheers 🥂 to me and you and to long life and prosperity.
