The Interior Design Process is a rigorous process built on many decisions. Whether the project is new construction or pre-existing, a studio apartment or a grand home, this book of styles will help you. It requires a systematic, orderly, and organized approach. A specific sequencing of events is necessary to get from concept to completion; planning and thinking through many problems in advance, and sizing up one’s needs and spatial constraints to determine the most appropriate and inspired solution are very important skills.
The goal of this book is intended to help with these critical decisions. From day one, every element, from the tiniest detail to the most comprehensive architectural modification, needs to be considered as a whole and managed with informed decision-making. Good oversight and quick thinking as events can get troublesome and hinder your project path. Anyone who takes on a large design project discovers the unexpected complexity of different design elements.
Intertwining decisions will create issues and operational challenges. Even seasoned professionals will agree that much of their work involves troubleshooting and problem-solving, but it can be part of the enjoyment for a design enthusiast. The excitement of seeing a vision filled will trump the numerous issues along the path. The mindset of most people who designed their homes in an ad hoc manner just used a one-step-at-a-time method.
Over a few years, they saved up enough money or gathered enough energy to tackle the next room. Such a piecemeal approach to entering the zone can undoubtedly result in a lovely home. But, a strategic plan is necessary to achieve the level of finish, resolve the issues, and provide the customization that distinguishes this project as a well-executed space. From information gathering to installation, either the homeowner or their design practitioner must follow the professional design process as closely as possible and embrace a professional mindset.
Each style in this book has a detailed list of items needed and the design process to get there. Set a vision in advance. Every detail is interrelated, so having the big picture in mind can help you organize, edit, and proceed through the design process.
That way, you’ll know whether to say yes to a item for the space is appropriate. You cannot look at a job through tunnel vision; everything hinges on something else. It’s like fitting together pieces of a puzzle. Designing a space is a job for someone who relishes bringing order to chaos. Use lists, charts, and spreadsheets to store all these items in a three-ring or digital binders.
Cross-reference every detail. Embrace, troubleshooting as a creative exercise. Even if you have designed a residential entry before, something will always throw you for a loop because the system has a million moving parts. won’t know what you are getting into until you’re in the middle of it. But for professional designers, troubleshooting is an exciting challenge; instead of doing things the same way, over and over again, to avoid problems, most prefer to push themselves to find new solutions to enhance the space.
Part of the challenge and part of the art is figuring out how to create something you’ve never completed. Designers and contractors learn something new on every project because their work entails an ongoing dialogue with vendors and product specialists to help refine their knowledge.
