Before starting an interior design project, the preparation is very important. It will help to communicate your ideas and make your project a lot more pleasurable.
I believe that the project should be a journey, after all we are creating spaces that will reflect the clients' lifestyle- with an elevated level of style, function, comfort and artistry.

Good preparation will help you create a much more rewarding and accurate results along with satisfaction and greater appreciation.
One of the first things to focus on when getting started is to Look for Inspiration.
Many people go through magazines, books and other design projects which is absolutely fine, but great inspirations can be found anywhere.
Art, Jewelry, Book, Photos, Fabric- can all be fantastic inspiration sources. Anything goes, it doesn’t have to make much sense at that moment, but sometimes when it just feels good it is worth saving and putting it in your inspiration file. It is important on the other hand to notate why you are drawn to whatever you save- those silky woven pattern drapes, bright color backsplash or the modern style hotel lobby photo.
After compiling numerous items, go through it, observe and edit.
Look for relationships between what you have collected. Are there any patterns that you find in styles, textures, periods or color?
This is also a good time to take a second look at things that might have felt great at the moment, but are no longer drawing you in.
A few ways to collect your inspirations is in a: binder, folder, bulletin board or on your computer.
