Create a clear vision!
From years of experience, I believe the most efficient way to begin an interior design project is to establish exactly how you want your finished product to look, before you begin!
Creating an absolutely clear image of your finished home in detail (in your mind, or preferably on paper) will keep you on a steady path throughout your renovation, restoration or new build.
It’s not uncommon to get distracted by irrelevant trends, or by taking advice from others who may not understand what you are trying to achieve. You can be pushed in the wrong direction, which can lead to confusion and costly mistakes. You can end up wasting time and money, holding up builders and other trades and causing unnecessary amounts of stress!
A major part of my role as a designer is to guide a project from start to finish, working not only on design with my clients but also on communication with architects, builders and site managers. It’s so important that I specify exactly what is required prior to a build. I provide numerous detailed schedules, from construction through to furnishings, ahead of time, to avoid hold-ups and to get the job done.
Of course, there will be questions along the way, and sometimes changes are unavoidable, however, by keeping the focus on the end vision, decisions can be made quickly and efficiently, to keep the job moving.
I'm happy to offer interior design advice before you begin your next project. Please don't hesitate to contact me.
