Figuring Out Your Home Remodel’s Interior Design Direction

Creating your dream home starts with establishing a clear and cohesive design direction. At Sustainable Design Build, we understand that figuring out your interior design aesthetic can feel overwhelming, especially when your project is still in the early conceptual stages and exists only as drawings or elevations. Our goal is to help you refine your vision and ensure it is fully realized before diving into material selections and showroom visits with your Interior Designer.

Before Scheduling Your Showroom Visit

Before embarking on showroom visits filled with countless finishes, fixtures, and options, it’s important to define your overall design aspirations. Elements such as cabinetry, tile designs, paint colors, window sills, and more can all be fine-tuned by working with a talented interior designer who understands your vision.

Providing Inspirations, Pictures, and Mood Boards

The most effective way to determine your home’s interior design direction is by gathering visual inspiration. Collect images, examples, and ideas that resonate with your personal style. This process will provide invaluable guidance to both you and your interior designer, allowing you to create a cohesive aesthetic that is both beautiful and aligned with your project’s budget.

Start by collecting inspiration images that reflect your preferred styles. Consider sourcing ideas from:

• Social Media Platforms: Pinterest, Instagram, Houzz
• Store Websites and Catalogues: High-end showrooms, design retailers
• Magazines: Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Dwell
• Photography or Completed Projects You Admire: Homes you’ve visited, photos you’ve saved

Using Mood Boards and Scrap Books to Clarify Your Vision

Have you ever just started saving pictures of really nice looking houses, kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms? That is a very helpful step to working with Sustainable Design Build’s interior design team, in fact, taking it to the next level will create an amazing tool that will help you in creating the perfect plan for your dream home. A mood board is a visual tool that helps organize and communicate your interior design ideas by compiling images, colors, textures, and materials that you have been drawn to. The same goes for creating a scrapbook or any type of collection. With these, you can meet with SDB’s interior designer and their knowledgeable experience can identify the exact things you are looking for. Even more, they can help set expectations on availability, pricing, and better alternatives to your custom home goals. These types of tools will help you keep meetings with SDB on track and focused, which will get you a solid representation of what to look for when the time comes to visit showrooms for finish selections alongside your interior designer.
