Client Consultation: Meeting with clients to understand their requirements, preferences, and budget for the project. Discussing design objectives, style preferences, functional needs, and any specific requirements or constraints. Space Planning: Analyzing the layout and dimensions of interior spaces to optimize functionality, flow, and use of space. Developing space plans, furniture layouts, and circulation patterns to achieve efficient and ergonomic designs. Concept Development: Developing design concepts and themes based on client input, project requirements, and design trends. Creating mood boards, color palettes, material samples, and concept sketches to convey design ideas visually. Material and Finish Selection: Selecting appropriate materials, finishes, furnishings, and fixtures to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of interior spaces. Considering factors such as durability, sustainability, maintenance requirements, and budget constraints. Furniture and Fixture Specification: Specifying furniture, lighting, fixtures, and decorative elements to complement the overall design concept. Selecting furniture pieces, fabrics, and accessories that meet client preferences and project specifications. 3D Visualization: Creating 3D renderings, visualizations, and virtual models to illustrate design concepts and proposals. Using software tools such as SketchUp, Revit, or 3ds Max to bring design ideas to life and facilitate client visualization. Lighting Design: Designing lighting schemes to enhance the ambiance, mood, and functionality of interior spaces. Selecting lighting fixtures, controls, and placement to achieve optimal illumination levels and visual comfort. Color Coordination: Choosing color schemes and palettes that harmonize with the overall design concept and client preferences.
