Apart from a decent building, having a comfortable home is everyone's dream. Not only as a place to live or rest, the house is also an important part of improving the quality of life.
To create a comfortable home, you can actually do it without using an interior designer or architect. Current technological developments make it easier for us to access and provide the information and education we need.
However, creating a comfortable home is not just about mixing and matching according to our style and wishes. According to the Chair of the Indonesian Interior Designers Association (HDII), Rohadi Sumardi, there is one important thing that cannot be applied to designs created through technology, namely taste.
“There is a difference between interior decorators and interior designers. Interior decorators just mix and match and apply. However, it's not just physical and detailed, there is one thing that computers (technology) don't have, namely a feeling that cannot be deceived. "The appearance can be good, but does the design match the desired nuance or taste?" explained Rohadi.
Rohadi added that education about interior designers was not easy because he was initially known as an interior decorator. What needs to be underlined is the difference between interior designers and interior decorators.
Interior decorators simply mix and match each element, plus public knowledge and support for technological and industrial developments have caused a shift in the meaning of interior designer. For this reason, to create a comfortable home, we still need the insight and perspective of an interior designer
To create a comfortable home, Rohadi emphasized that we first need to know the routines or habits of family members. For example, where to put shoes, things to do after entering the house, or other activities that must be done in the house.
“In the past, people saw that a good house was a comfortable house. How comfortable is it? Yes, simply put, as soon as we enter the atmosphere is nice, cool, we can know where to put our shoes, where to wash our hands, and other things to do. "Don't let it happen that after we enter the house, we become even more dizzy, we are confused about what to do, we are confused about how to reach it," added Rohadi.
The important thing that must be considered to achieve a comfortable home is to have good lighting and ventilation. The air inside must always be changed. By having several windows in the living room, kitchen and other rooms, air circulation will flow in and out properly so that the house is not damp and smelly.
Creating a small garden in your yard can add a green accent and a beautiful environment. If this is not possible, you can use ornamental plants inside the house. The feeling of coolness and calm will increase the comfort of family members. However, make sure you take good care of it, yes.
