3 Expert Tips to Consider When Choosing Materials for Interior Design
Interior design is a blend of art and science, aiming to create aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces. Whether it’s a remodelling project or new construction, the choice of materials for surfacing, furniture, and curtains plays a crucial role. In this blog post, we present three expert tips to help interior designers choose the right materials for their next project.
1. Choose Versatile Surfacing Material
Every interior, be it a residential or commercial space, has a unique layout, and choosing a reliable surfacing material is a critical aspect of interior design. A good surfacing material should offer a variety of design options and stand the test of time. High-pressure laminates (HPL) are a superior surfacing solution compared to other materials. Made by compressing multiple layers of Kraft paper treated with thermosetting resins under immense pressure, HPL sheets come in a wide range of colour and design options, are highly durable, and offer additional special attributes such as antibacterial properties.
2. Consider Natural Lighting
One of the key aspects of interior design is utilizing natural light to create an upbeat ambiance. When it comes to utilizing natural lighting in decor, it’s advisable to choose a surfacing material that reflects light in the required amount. High-pressure laminate sheets come in two types of surface finishes that help maintain the right amount of lighting in interior spaces. These include:
Matt-finished HPL Sheets: These are “non-shiny” laminate sheets that diffuse incident light rays. Matt-finished laminate sheets are the best suitable for those who want medium-bright natural lighting.
Glossy Laminate Sheets: Glossy laminate sheets come with smooth, reflective, and shiny surfaces that help accentuate natural lighting in a decor.

3. Select a Colour Palette that Reflects the Mood Board
Colours play a vital role in regulating the emotions of people. Therefore, it’s vital to use the right colour palette for furniture, wall paint, and surfacing materials that align with your client’s objectives. HPL sheets come in a myriad of colours to help you choose the right combination for your project. Some of the trending colour combinations include Grey, Sand, and Blue; Light blue and Emerald; and Black and Navy.
