Quick Tip No. 7 | What’s The Scale?

One of the first thing a designer looks at, whether they realize it or not, is the scale of a space. Why? The scale dictates the scale of all the items that are selected to fill it, and its something you should be aware of when you’re sourcing for your project as well.

If you have a grand living room, and put smaller-scale furniture into it, it will feel like you’ve placed dollhouse furniture. Likewise, if you have a small bedroom and are trying to fit in oversized, heavy furniture it will feel overfilled, and cluttered.

There are, however, times when a designer may decide to “break the rules” in order to play with the space a bit, or trick the eye. If you’re struggling with the scale in your space and would like some professional expertise, head on to our website and we’re happy to help out!
