Understanding our Design Process

At Smart Interiors we believe that Interior Design is an art form that can often be overlooked, but its impact can be seen in all aspects of our lives. From the way a room looks and feels to the way it functions, interior design plays an integral role in creating a comfortable and inviting space.

The most important part of our interior design process is understanding basic principles and how to use them to create a functional, aesthetically pleasing space. We use a wide range of techniques including; colour theory, balance, contrast, texture, and the principles of proportion to successfully pull a room together.

When it comes to colour, our goal is to create a cohesive palette that is pleasing to the eye and fits with the overall style of the room and the client. Colour can be used to create a certain mood or to highlight certain features. For example, a bright colour may be used to add energy and vibrancy to a room, while a more muted colour can be used to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

One of the main points to consider is the layout of the room. How will the furniture be arranged? What pieces will be used to fill the space? A well-thought-out plan can help to optimise the use of the space while keeping the personal touch of the specific client.
We can also use texture to create a unique look and feel in a room. Different materials and finishes can add depth and interest to a space. For example, a plush rug can provide a cosy feel, while a textured wallpaper can add a unique visual element.

Finally, we find it important to add the Client’s personal touches to the design. Incorporating items like family photos, artwork, and vintage pieces can help to make the space feel more like home for the client while also giving the space a sense of character.
These are just a few of the basics our design process but they show with a little bit of creativity and planning, you can create a beautiful interior that reflects the client’s unique style.
