Space planning would be the very first part of an interior designers job and
probably the most crucial part
because that
segregates different areas for different
requirements within a home
as in you know, the living area, the bedrooms
how many bedrooms would you like in this house because of how many children they have.
As we go along, we develop ideas on specific areas for example, the kitchen
we then look into the specific requirement of the client in the kitchen, for
example
and then we move on to the next area, perhaps the bathroom
and then to the master bedroom.
As you go along, you have to think about
materials, you think about finishes and that
all happens concurrently,
it doesn't happen separately.
So there's a lot of aspect to
the planning itself.
And you have to think about electrical, you know,
wiring, lighting,
power requirements, power points requirements in every room and space.
And finally, when you're done all that then you come up with a visual which
reflects the ideas that you've created
for the environment for your client
and then from there, there's the execution bit of
the work of an interior designer.
Now most interior designers
work on a turn-key basis means they start the process from space planning to
material development and colour selection
and then they go onto
the visuals
and eventually, the execution part which involves the construction
and an interior designer is very involved in the construction in most cases
whereby they have to see to details onsite. They have to do frequent
site visits to make sure things go right
and eventually to the end of the project when
it's about to be handover.
He has to make sure that everything is
in accordance to the specifications of his drawings and details.
