From sparkles and glitter to blazing warm colors or aloof and glacial décor every individual has an image or idea of what their space should look like.  At times that image could be vivid and detailed in such a way that you can almost touch the beautifully designed space in your mind.  Yet, other times that image is just a faded picture that leaves one wondering how wonderful it will be to have the most amazingly decorated space but with no idea on how to get started.  These feelings are not as uncommon as one may think.  However, the key to successfully achieving a space design you will adore is to step back and conduct a realistic assessment of the individual space.

Project planning and Space assessment:

  • Personal Desires
    • Do you have special needs or desires for the space?
  • Space
    • Are there any structural features in the room that need to be accentuated or hidden from the space?
    • Are there any structural damages that must be tended to?
    • How are the windows and floors? Will they need to be replaced?
  • Budget
    • Establish a realistic budget – this is essential for any project you would like to start at any point in time
    • Avoiding to set a budget may lead to an unfinished project, frustration and unhappiness
  • Decor
    • What type of décor style is most enjoyed or desired ?
    • Read articles about the different styles and determine which best describes you
  • Think about
    • Furniture
    • Color scheme
    • Fabrics

Once all these details have been ion out you will be able to develop a solid plan, tackle the room and successfully design a space you can be proud of.
