Church Interior Design

Custom Search

Sometimes church interior design is the last thing to be accounted for in a congregagtion’s budget. It seems that just getting to the point of constructing a building is reason enough to cheer! However, money should definitely be allotted for durable as well as visually appealing furnishings and décor. If you are gifted in this area, great! It will be fun discovering new ideas and challenging when it comes to pleasing the masses. This article will go beyond the standard chair or pew. We’ll concentrate more on how to create an inviting atmosphere with color and design.

Restroom Decor

Chances are a person will visit the lavatory and least once during a service. Furniture used in church interior design. should be strong and sturdy even if it costs a little extra. It always amazes me how several hundred careful people can unintentionally destroy furnishings in just a few months. A simple long table in the ladies restroom and men’s restroom is a great place to place purses or bibles without having to take them into the stall with you. A lamp set to one side of the table and a nicely framed print hung on the wall completes the look. In the ladies room it’s always welcoming to have a stand placed near the sinks with a bottle of hand sanitizer and sweet smelling hand crème in a pump. The same idea can carry over to the men’s facility. A basket of mints or gum will do just fine.

Color

Paint color can be a huge improvement or a huge distraction. Stay away from really dark trendy colors, but don’t be afraid of color altogether. When a wall is painted white it just doesn’t matter what kind of décor you hang. It always feels empty, kind of like something’s missing. Behr makes some great warm colors such as King’s Gold, Golden Moss or Spring Moss. Keep in mind the way light will shine down on the walls. It’s difficult to get a line free look in a large space without using a sprayer instead of a roller.

Foyer

This should be the most inviting place of the whole building and should not be left out when thinking about church interior design. It’s a perfect spot for people to stay and chat or for Mom to regroup after picking the kids up from the nursery. Depending on space a few groupings of leather chairs and sofas create an intimate space. Think like you would for your own living room. Add an end table, lamp and rug to add to the coziness. This is where you can play with splashes of color that will be inexpensive to replace once worn or outdated. Toss colorful pillows at each sofa corner, add a vibrant lamp shade and experiment with 3d wall décor.

Children’s Spaces

This is the place where you can let your imagination run wild with church interior design. The more colorful the better! If at all possible it is helpful to have a separate room for sleeping children and babies. You can decorate this room in soft colors with gentle lighting. Nursery rhymes are a good theme with bible verses written on the walls such as psalm 121:2-4

My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—

he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

Rooms for play and learning come alive with murals. You can purchase them or ask a talented member to paint one. Childrens' rooms tend to get messy. A painted concrete floor requires less maintenance and saves the expense of replacing carpet often. Babies and toddlers need the extra cushion so carpeting is still the best idea for the younger crowd. Bright recessed can lights add energy to the room and aid during clean up time. Storage cabinets, hooks and cubbies are a necessity for children’s belongings and teacher’s snacks and other supplies. Church Interior Design is an important part of creating family within the body of believers. Remember the most important thing, though, is the attitude of love we show toward one another!
