Designing From Scratch: 5 Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Start

Home / Uncategorized / Designing From Scratch: 5 Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Start

In today’s blog I’m revealing all about how our team structures every design project we have the pleasure to work on and the experience our clients receive.

Below are 5 questions, taken from our uniquely crafted ‘Design Discovery Questionnaire’, that will help you kick-start a wonderfully designed space!

THE INSPIRATION

“The first and most crucial step in design is the inspiration. It’s the sole purpose of any design. It’s the spark that triggers the whole design, then leads you through every step of the way. ” – Jenny

When you start to collate inspirational items and images, you’re determining your style, which is a major foundational step, for both you and your designer.

We’re fortunate to live in an era with access to beautiful online imagery; Pinterest, Instagram and glossy magazines, but there are lots of other places to find inspiration and I challenge you to start elsewhere first…Interior Design inspiration
