Mastering Your Home Design Process: Step by Step
There’s nothing better than having an organized system to guide you through a home design process. However, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed if you believe everything must happen at once (pro-tip: it doesn’t!).
Once you get a feel for our go-to home design process, you’ll notice how much weight is lifted off your design decision-making shoulders. Curious where to start and finish? Let’s dive into our step-by-step approach 👇.
Creating a Clear Path to Your Dream Home
When it comes to designing your home, having a plan in place is key to avoiding overwhelm. With so many design decisions, it’s easy to get lost in the details. But with the right process, you can confidently move forward, knowing that each step brings you closer to a home that feels like you.
Our Step by Step Home Design Process:
1. Gathering: Kick off your design process by pulling all of your inspiration, samples, and ideas together in one place.
2. Planning: Visualize how your inspiration will fit into your space. Start thinking in both 2D and 3D. What does your ideal layout look like? What needs tweaking? There’s always a solution.
3. Sourcing: Consider where you feel confident purchasing from. Do you trust the vendors and brands you’re eyeing?
4. Budgeting: Use actual items you’re drawn to for budget reference, and set a realistic maximum. Document your goals for a clear path forward.
5. Purchasing*: Organize your selections, measure multiple times, and make intentional purchases. Keep track of everything for smooth delivery and installation.
6. Installing*: Clear out the excess and make space for your new items. Take your time and place one item at a time—trust your process.
7. Styling: Gather more artwork and accessories than you think you need. Layer them thoughtfully, starting with function, then adding personality-filled conversation pieces.
8. Enjoying: Enjoy the process and be proud of how far you’ve come. Your home should be a reflection of you and a space you truly love
*Note: If you’re working through a construction project, the purchasing and installation phases may involve demo work. Plan around lead times and measurements accordingly.
