WHEN IT COMES TO DESIGNING A ROOM , THE INTERPLAY between aesthetics and functionality is a delicate dance that requires careful consideration . Every decision , from the placement of the furniture to the selection of materials , contributes to the overall ambiance and experience of a space .
For Designer Betty Simtikidis , the journey beings with functionality . Understanding how homeowners intend to utilize a space is paramount . This involves delving into the homeowners ' needs and desires , identifying aspects that are working well and those that need improvement in their current setup .
Once the functional requirements are met , Betty turns her attention to the emotional aspect of the space . " How the homeowners want to feel in the space would be the next focus ," she explains . This emotional connection is the heartbeat of the design , guiding choices that evoke a particular mood or atmosphere .
For this 3,300 sq . ft . home , the primary goal was to transform the main floor to accommodate both large family gatherings and everyday family life . The designer drew inspiration from the homeowner ' s desire for a brighter , lighter environment with a modern farmhouse aesthetic .
