Trick the Eye
Tricking the eye is a fun way to play with design. Where is your eye drawn to in a space when you enter it? After you determine that, everything else should fall into place. When you decide your focal point in a room, what do you do next? Numerous things can happen! Play with color, texture, pattern, what is the energy you want to give the space. Big or small? Do not be afraid to experiment.
Communication is Key
Natural stone is gorgeous and gives the space a luxurious feeling. However all natural stones should be sealed every 3 to 6 months, and can be quite expensive. Pairing a natural stone against an ink jet printed porcelain tile is an amazing design solution.
A savvy Designer can instantly create a color palate that suits the mood of the space. From there you'll want to think about function. How is the layout of the room archictecturally? How can you take advantage of the space? What are the challenges? What kind of lighting are you looking for? What is the room ideally meant for? After that you can get to the fun part that comes naturally to a professional designer. Repetition, balance, symmetry, shape, color, and textures.
