Psst . . . want to know the secrets to any home designer's success?
Home designers are essentially storytellers: telling stories about how certain design elements come together. And most home designers want to have a design hit on their hands. As such, instead of through words, home designers use embellishment to tell a visual narrative . . . the narrative of a breathtaking, well-designed home.
And just as any successful story has its mandatory components -character, setting, theme- so, too, does a successful home design. Authenticity, functionality and an overall vision are the key design elements intentionally woven together by any successful home designer in order to create the perfectly-designed home, thereby simultaneously satisfying the homeowner and guaranteeing that home designer's success.
Authenticity

Every interior designer knows that his or her client’s home must be personalized to reflect the homeowner's personality. It's the story's character. And one way of doing this is integrating a client's mundane keepsakes, including heirlooms and antique items, into the living spaces. This integration is key to a successful project.

Functionality

The goal of space planning is to create cost-effective efficiency. It's the story's setting. Assess a room’s functionality and how the design elements can be assimilated to be aesthetically pleasing and useful at the same time. Space planning is mandatory and includes delineating interior spatial areas and developing plans for furniture layout.

Effective solutions for functionality and an eye-catching interior decor are the end goals of any home project. And projects need not be cumbersome, like building an entire addition onto a house. Sometimes merely reorganizing the existing footprint, or incorporating a much smaller addition, satisfies the needs of a homeowner without a massive construction overhaul and exorbitant expenses.
An Overall Vision

Once a designer knows the functionality of a space, the designer effectively blends those requirements with the client’s desired aesthetic and ambience, to create a vision for the space. It's the story's theme. There exists a sense of the eternal in an interior space when the home designer implements a well thought out vision.
