Lake Nona Interiors Insider: Volume Two: The Interior Design Process

September 4, 2024 by Edina Houston

So you have figured out your interior design style – whether it’s modern, traditional, bohemian, or something in between. Great! You’ve taken the first step towards creating a space that truly reflects your personality and tastes. But what comes next? Where do you go from here?

The next step after determining your interior design style is to start planning and organizing your space. This is where the real fun begins! It’s time to take your vision and turn it into a reality.

The first thing you’ll want to do is take some measurements of the space you’re working with. This will help you determine what furniture and decor will fit best in the room. You’ll also want to consider the layout of the space and how you want it to flow. Do you want a cozy reading sitting area by the window in your primary bedroom? Or a lounge with a comfy sofa and chairs? Think about how you use the space and what will make it most functional for you, your lifestyle and family. 

Once you have a good idea of the layout and measurements, it’s time to start thinking about furniture and decor. This is where your interior design style will really come into play. If you’re going for a modern look, you might want to choose sleek, minimalist furniture with clean lines. If your style is more traditional, you might opt for classic pieces with rich wood finishes and intricate detailing. Remember, it’s your space, make sure it reflects your personality and makes you happy. Don’t worry about following trends – go with what you love.

Don’t forget about color and texture! These elements can really make a space come alive. Consider the colors that speak to you and the mood you want to create in the room. Whether you prefer bold and bright or neutral and serene, choose colors that make you feel happy and comfortable. And don’t be afraid to mix and match different textures and metals to add depth and interest to your space.

Now it’s time to start shopping! Whether you prefer to shop in stores or online, there are plenty of options out there. Make sure to mix it up and try to avoid purchasing everything from one store. Take your time and don’t feel like you have to buy everything at once. It’s better to wait for the right piece than to settle for something you’re not in love with. Incorporate high-end pieces with budget-friendly finds to create a well-balanced look.

As you start bringing your vision to life, don’t forget about the finishing touches. Accessories can really tie a room together and make it feel complete. Think about adding photographs of your family, artwork, throw pillows, rugs and plants to add warmth and personality to your space. 

And finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Whether it’s hiring a professional interior designer or getting advice from friends and family, sometimes an outside perspective can help you see things in a new light. Professional designers can provide valuable insights and expertise to help bring your vision to life at any stage of the details above – through designing end to end or decorating to finish a look. 

And so there you have it – the next steps after figuring out your interior design style. It’s all about planning, organizing and bringing your vision to life. Most importantly, have fun with the process. Designing your space, whether it’s a DIY or with a professional designer, should be an enjoyable experience, creating a space that is uniquely yours.
