1 Ask yourself what feelings you need to have in the room you are decorating and see if the colours you have chosen make you feel that way. 2 Make a floorplan to check that everything fits in your room and how you can arrange it within the space you have. And don’t forget to check thoroughfares and paths between. You need around 90cm for two people to pass. A dining table needs around 1m all around to allow chairs to be pulled in and out. This will be tight for someone to pass behind if someone else is sitting down. This will matter if the table is between them and the door.
A great list! I very much agree with number 4 - “This disrupter colour should appear in other rooms to tie them together but vary the objects... This is how you form a red thread: a strand of colours, textures and styles that run throughout your home to make each room link and to create a cohesive scheme.” This is so important, it will create a flow and connect places together in a very natural, comfortable, almost unnoticeable way, building up the atmosphere and a unique story of a home. Especially in connection to number 7, it is great connecting rooms (or views of the rooms) to each other by approaching wall colour choices of adjacent rooms as a whole, as creating a composition. This will also create a good flow and cohesive design plus the views from one room to another can become little works of art in themselves.
