The stages of interior design

Living in a pleasant environment that reflects your tastes and personality is essential for your well-being and productivity. You don't have to be a designer, but you can make a success of your interior design by following a few simple, easy-to-implement steps. This is despite the fact that calling in a professional can be less costly than it seems, and offers a number of undeniable advantages. Find out here how to make a success of your interior design project.

Choosing an interior layout

Every living space needs a minimum of care. Interior design helps to organise the space and make it more comfortable. Whether at home or at work, the image conveyed has a major impact on visitors and staff alike. Whether it's refreshed or completely chaotic, the responsibility lies with the occupant.

This is of vital importance when it comes to letting a flat or office space. The state of the premises and the feeling of well-being have a serious impact on the value of the property. It can therefore be negotiated at a higher price if the interior design is successful.

There are many advantages to a well-designed interior. Fortunately, to make a success of your project, all you have to do is follow a few simple steps.

Stage 1: Gathering requirements

This phase is used to gather information about the needs and expectations of the property's occupants or owners. Depending on the type of premises and their current condition, the expectations or desires, the available budget, etc., several options may be considered. An inventory is needed to assess and select the best options.

By calling in a professional, you can benefit from the experience and sound advice of a qualified craftsman. This enables them to choose from among the best proposals, obtain detailed estimates and, above all, guarantee the quality of the work.

Stage 2: planning the layout of the premises

This stage consists of a comparative study of requirements. A feasibility and capacity study is carried out on the basis of several proposed plans. The commercial offer is combined with a personalised estimate to give a concrete idea of the scope of the work and the actual funds required.

Professional interior designers use a number of specialised programmes to project their clients into their future living environment. In 2D or 3D, it is possible to go through the many possibilities and decide on one or other of the proposals. Adjustments are always possible.

Stage 3: Planning the work and organising the site

This is the construction phase of the project. With the customer's agreement, the professional uses the services of craftsmen in a number of fields, depending on the needs of the project. Thanks to their network of contacts, they can help you make substantial savings on labour costs.

This is a special stage, and one that can be tedious for a non-professional. A number of factors need to be closely monitored: adherence to the plan, completion deadlines, dealing with unforeseen circumstances, compliance with safety standards, the quality of materials, etc. No aspect should be overlooked.

Stage 4: Acceptance of work

Acceptance of the work involves a detailed examination of the area being treated. Every detail counts before the work is declared complete. All the rooms and their interior decoration are scrutinised. It is always possible to express reservations, and your project manager is best placed to give you the best advice. Their experience will ensure that there are no unpleasant surprises.
