You’re planning an interior design project. What tools do you need to get the job done right? (2024)

In today's age of multiple design studios approaching the same prospect, it is the accuracy with which the Moodboards are made that will decide the chances of the Prospect converting to Customer. Creativity combined with a presentation structure will be the key to making an effective Moodboard.

Le moodboard, incontournable en architecture, oriente le projet et communique les références visuelles essentielles, favorisant ainsi une compréhension partagée des orientations esthétiques et techniques.Ce processus préliminaire s'avère crucial pour l'initiation du travail, facilitant l'établissem*nt de lignes directrices claires, évitant les blocages créatifs et assurant une concrétisation réussie du projet.En utilisant des outils en ligne tels que Pinterest, Canva ou Adobe Spark, il devient plus aisé de créer un moodboard complet, offrant une plateforme versatile pour exprimer et concrétiser nos idées avec finesse et professionnalisme.

One of the most important steps to design anything, is to measure everything. If you are using a digital tape measure (laser), just make sure the dimension is accurate with a fisical one, before start using it. For smaller things you are going to need the fisical one. If you just want to get a general ideia of how a space is, the phone scans can do the job, but afterwards make sure to confirm the measurments

A tape measure is an essential tool for interior design, as it allows you to measure the dimensions of any space or object accurately. Without a tape measure, you would not be able to plan, design, or execute any interior project successfully. A tape measure helps you to determine the size, shape, and proportion of the elements in your interior, such as furniture, windows, walls, floors, and ceilings. It also helps you to avoid common mistakes, such as ordering the wrong size of materials, wasting time and money, or creating a cluttered or unbalanced space. A tape measure enables you to create a floor plan, a scale drawing, and a budget for your interior project.

Have you ever hung a wall decoration, only to find out that it's not level? It can be frustrating, but thankfully, there's a tool that can help - a level. A level is a must-have tool for those who install tiles, as it ensures that all tiles are installed evenly. Moreover, a level can be incredibly useful when hanging wall cabinets, shelves, and other wall decorations. Currently, the best level available is a laser level. It's a simple tool that helps you balance everything accurately.

Determining whether a certain paint is suitable for a particular space is essential, and using a paint tester can help with this. Personally, I enjoy testing out different paint samples, whether they come in small jars or as stickers.

Changing the paint colour in your home is one of the easiest and most effective ways to transform your space and paint tester pots are an important part of the process not to be skipped. Colours can change according to the time of day and the surface they are painted on so it is important to see how your chosen colour will look when taking these details into account. By using a tester patch or card (A5 size ideally, anything smaller is difficult to assess) you can live with the colours for a few days to see how they look with the natural and artificial lighting and surfaces in your own home. Paint testers will save you time and money in the long run and help you find the perfect hue for your interior.

Before anything to designIdeas should be drop on paper through sketches... Then the design process becomes easy..Because of sketches we can express ourselves better....

Ich habe eher ein Skizzenbuch für Notizen, Farbmuster, Materialien, Recherche und alles, was irgendwie Input und Info zum Projekt bietet. Entwürfe mache ich entweder digitalod auch im Modell, da ich dort sowohl Materialitöt als auch Proportionen für besser nachvollziehbar halte.
