Designing a house isn’t easy, especially if you have thought of not taking professional help. There are a lot of things that one needs to read and analyse before designing a house. So the most important things should not get missed out or otherwise those faults will be visible in your home for a decade or more. So here are some of the professional steps that you can follow while you plan the interiors of the house:
Step 1: the measurements: measuring the room is the very first step that the professionals do. They do so because they draw the measurements on a piece of paper and then cut out miniature pictures of the furniture and stick them on the plain measurement paper. This way, they get a picture of how the room might look. This step is simple and will also help you understand if the design that you have chosen and the room in which you are planning to get it done would match or not. If not, before implementing, you can make the changes.
Step 2: Check the lighting: depending on the budget, see if you want to design the room based on artificial lighting or you will be relying on natural lights more. If your room has sufficient natural light, you should avoid the idea of getting artificial lighting and instead choose colours and furniture that matches with the natural lighting. This is yet another professional move to learn and implement.
Step 3: Choose your area of the idea: now comes the critical step, which makes every house look different. Some people prefer to design the whole room focused on the furniture; some want to play around with the colours, while some design the room with wallpapers. Here the decision lies in the customers’ hands even if you hire professionals. So, for your house, you will also need to think about what you wish to keep as the centre of the whole idea and then plan the rest of the things according to it.
Step 4: choose the colours for real: even if technologies have evolved and you can just check the colours online, there are still some things that should be better done in the traditional ways. So, make sure the place from where you choose the colours you make time to go and see if the colour you selected on the catalogue and the one that’s being sold to you is the same. Do not trust anyone else but your own eyes when you make your own house.
Step 5: start with the wallpaper: well, if you have decided what to do now, it’s time for you to decide how to do the work. For that, what’s essential for you to do is to start with the installation of the wallpaper. That should be the very first step because after that’s done, it is only then you should be placing the furniture or else there are high chances that the furniture might get damaged.
Thus, these are some of the professional ways that if you follow step by step you will not have to hire a professional interior designer and yet the interiors of the house would still look like it’s professionally designed.
