Embarking on a new home renovation project? Interior design is an exciting journey that requires dedication and a generous amount of organisation. With a well-structured plan and expert guidance, you can create a space that’s mirrors your personality and accommodates your every need. So let’s get started!
Many people think that furniture is the last step, but in reality, starting by choosing furniture can help you optimise square metres. Imagining the placement of base units, wall units, and matching furniture and accessories allows you to dedicate each room to a specific purpose and to design the electrical system and lighting adequately. Knowing in advance where the sofa or bed will be placed, for example, facilitates the placement of electrical sockets and light points, ensuring a functional distribution.
Kitchen design requires special attention, as the layout directly impacts the plumbing and electrical systems. Whether you choose a linear, L-shaped, U-shaped configuration, a kitchen with an island or one with a peninsula, it's essential to determine the number and placement of appliances and work zones from the outset. This will dictate the location of electrical sockets, plumbing, and lighting fixtures.
Adding a room is one of the most common requests, whether it's an office, a laundry room, or a walk-in wardrobe. Even small changes to the internal layout of a space can significantly improve comfort. For instance, a wall-mounted system or sliding door is enough to transform a large open space into a more intimate and cosy area.
Don't limit yourself to what you think you want: consult an expert who can suggest creative solutions you may not have considered
To imagine the end result and reduce changes during construction, use tools like 3D renderings, mood boards, and virtual simulators. These technologies allow you to "see" your home before it's even built, helping you make aesthetic and technical decisions with greater confidence. By the way, have you already chosen your materials, colours, tiling and upholstery?
Remember that any changes requested during the construction phase will impact costs and timelines: plan everything carefully to avoid delays and unpleasant surprises.
