It’s true, there’s no place like home. It’s the place where you begin and end each day. It’s where you prepare and eat most of your meals. It’s where

you sleep. It’s where you seek refuge from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. It’s where you display your most prized possessions. And it’s where you let your style shine.

Creating a place that does so many things can be a challenge. That’s

where the services of an interior designer or decorator come in.

But today’s interior designers and decorators can do more than just help you pick out pleasing color swatches, durable flooring and functional furniture. Using various philosophies and schools of design, a home’s interior can help its inhabitants find and create more harmony and balance in their lives.

Perhaps the most well-known of these schools of thought is feng shui, which uses ancient Chinese principles of placement and arrangement

to achieve harmony within an environment.

The goal of feng shui is to create an environment that makes life easier, said Rochiel Wallers, a certified feng shui consultant and owner of Feng Shui Design Solutions in Las Vegas.

Wallers studied at the Feng Shui Institute of America and has trained in pyramid, black hat, compass and land form schools of feng shui since 1995.

Creating the perfect interior involves more than just picking colors, styles

If you are a bit color challenged when it comes to decorating your home or have furnishings that consist of old orange crates, cinder blocks and pieces of lumber, you probably would benefit from the advice of a decorator or interior designer.

However, being an interior designer

involves more than just helping the color- and style-challenged.

In addition to services that can be provided by a decorator, such as selecting wallpapers, fabrics and paint colors, and placing furniture within a room, an interior designer has studied extensively to

understand the elements that are needed to support the decorative items.
