What to Expect
When meeting with a client about interior design, there are many things that we take into consideration. Not only is interior design the color and use of furniture in a space, but many other factors are taken into consideration when designing the area. The client's goals for a space will be realized with their priorities in mind. Sometimes this looks different for every client, but each design and plan can include the following:
-
Mood Board collaboration pre-design
-
High Quality Renderings
-
Floor plan with furniture to scale
-
Furniture schedule
-
Procurement or recommendations for fixtures and furniture
-
Staging for procured objects
-
Marketing packages for advertisement or previews
What really goes into Interior Design?
Elements of Interior Design
-
Space: Understanding the space, its dimensions, and its potential is fundamental. Efficient use of space involves proper planning and organization.
-
Line: Lines create form and are responsible for establishing harmony, contrast, and unity in a space. They can be horizontal, vertical, or dynamic (curved or diagonal).
-
Form: Forms are shapes that fill the space, including furniture, decor, and architectural elements. They can be geometric (man-made) or organic (natural).
-
Light: Both natural and artificial lighting are crucial in interior design. Proper lighting enhances the mood and functionality of a space.
-
Color: Color influences mood and perception. A good color scheme ties the design elements together and can make a space feel larger, cozier, or more dynamic.
-
Texture: Texture adds depth and interest to a space. It involves the tactile quality of surfaces, from smooth to rough, soft to hard.
-
Pattern: Patterns add visual interest and can create a sense of movement. They should be used thoughtfully to avoid overwhelming the space.
Principles of Interior Design
-
Balance: Distributing visual weight in a room to create a sense of stability. Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial.
-
Harmony and Unity: Ensuring that all elements in a space work together to create a cohesive and pleasing look.
-
Rhythm: Creating a sense of movement through repetition and contrast. This can be achieved by repeating colors, shapes, or patterns.
-
Emphasis: Highlighting a focal point in the room, such as a piece of art, furniture, or an architectural feature, to draw attention.
-
Proportion and Scale: Ensuring that the size of objects in the space relates well to each other and to the overall space. Proper proportion and scale create a balanced and harmonious look.
Components of Good Interior Design
-
Functionality: The space should be practical and meet the needs of its users. This includes proper layout, furniture placement, and accessibility.
-
Comfort: Creating a comfortable environment through appropriate furniture, lighting, and temperature control.
-
Aesthetics: The visual appeal of the space, achieved through a cohesive design that incorporates the right colors, textures, and patterns.
-
Sustainability: Using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions to create a sustainable and environmentally conscious design.
-
Personalization: Reflecting the personality and lifestyle of the inhabitants through personalized touches and unique elements.
-
Safety and Accessibility: Ensuring that the space is safe and accessible for all users, including considerations for ergonomics and compliance with building codes and regulations.
-
Technology Integration: Seamlessly integrating technology into the design for convenience and modern living, such as smart home systems and advanced lighting controls.
A good interior design balances these elements and principles to create a space that is not only beautiful but also functional, comfortable, and reflective of the occupants' personalities and needs.
