When you invest in a renovation, addition or redesign, your new spaces should reflect your particular tastes and day-to-day needs. The style of the finished product should make you feel relaxed, inspired and truly at home. But how do you get there? What defines your style?

Creating this “optimally you” environment requires having the right partner in the process. Often, it’s hard to articulate your personal style and even more of a challenge to execute. Enter the skilled interior designer! With a proven assessment process, expertise, intuition and creativity, they will work with you to craft the perfect home (or commercial) spaces for your unique lifestyle.

The quality design professional best suited to you can build a personal rapport quickly and get a sense of direction by asking insightful questions and demonstrating that they listen well. What are some of the key points of understanding?

How you live:

• How do you and your family use your various spaces?
• Where does everyone work and what hours?
• What is the balance between “from scratch” and “on-the-go” meals?
• What kinds of pets live in the home, if any?
• How much do you entertain? How often do you host holidays or have overnight guests?
• What is your hosting style?
• Are you messy or organized? What is your clean-up style?
• How long do you plan on staying in your home?

Design tastes:

• What kind of furnishings and objects do you have, love and want to highlight, reuse or repurpose? Why are these your favorite things?
• Do you prefer clean lines or more movement?
• Do you favor a certain style or era or a more eclectic mix?
• Do you want a more formal look or want your spaces more casual and comfortable?
• What are your favorite colors? Do you want a neutral palette?
• Do you have any aspirational photos?

This review of your tastes and needs helps the designer curate your style and express your vision. Mix that together with their education, their knowledge of varied vendor capabilities, and their experience with other projects and you’ll get the best plan to meet your goals.
