How To Prepare For A Interior Design Consultation
Being prepared for your initial design consultation ensures that you have thought of what pain points you currently face with your space. Making a list of your requirements helps you but also helps the interior designer understand your exact brief, enabling them to quote accurately for your project and avoid the need for scope changes.
Step 1: Establish Budget
By knowing what your pain points are Khi Interior Design will create designs that will solve your existing problems. In turn the new designs we create will also help establish the costs that will be incurred to implement the designs.
When a client informs us of their budget it helps us establish which suppliers we need to approach and how much or how little electrical planning we are able to incorporate to achieve the designs.
Redesigning just one room or an entire property, establishing a budget early on allows us to identify what can be achieved with the vision you have in your head and turn it into a reality.
Stage 2: Know The Space
Each space is unique. Before going into the consultation, take some time to explore your environment. Pay attention to how natural light moves throughout the day and take stock of space constraints. At Khi Interior Design, we keep all these elements in mind when we discuss your design ideas. This would allow us to understand the natural characteristics of the space and develop functional solutions capable of improving the usage and aesthetics of your new space.
Step 3: Your Vision
Research is important preparation for your consultation. We usually ask you to gather upto three images of styles that you like so that we can quickly ascertain your tastes. We will talk through your design inspirations together during your Initial Design Consultation and discuss what you love about each one. This meeting is your time to voice all of your concerns, likes, dis-likes, while we sit, carefully listen and take notes so that we can bring you your dream transformation.
Step 4: Prioritise Your needs
Every client we work with brings us their own list of requirements and spaces of all different shapes and sizes. We encourage you to think about your needs before we meet so that we can create a space unique to you so that the end transformation is one that you are not only happy with but no one else will have as it is bespoke for you.
At Khi Interior Design, we help with the separation of what you “must have” and what is a “nice to have.” We address the key components first to craft a design that fulfills your functional and aesthetic requirements while staying within your budget.
Step 5: Keep an Open Mind with Experts
It is key to trust your designer! they will want the best for you and your space and have years of expertise under their belt. At Khi Interior Design, we will use our years of experience and knowledge to suggest creative, innovative solutions that you may not even have thought about to create a space that you have dreamt of. The transformation will leave you with a space that you love and that adheres to your lifestyle..
