Interior designer options

6 år sedan

senast redigerad:6 år sedan

I would like some input from an interior designer on a new house which I have. I already have a colour scheme and some design ideas in mind, but I feel that I need help to use the colours correctly and to make sure that the room proportions are set out properly. Does anyone know if it is likely that I could find an interior designer who would be willing to be employed to just help me with these two aspects? I know that many designers see projects through from conception to completion, but I don't know if they also work on certain aspects of a project only.

Hi there,

I don't think you will have a problem at all, most designers will offer different packages from more basic colour packages right through to turnkey solutions and a midpoint including single room design.

A good designer should also be able to offer you some 3D renders (almost photo quality images) of how the room will look when completed, which we found incredibly helpful and made the whole process much more enjoyable.

We used a fabulous designer we found here on Houzz; Gina from Create Perfect. I also had ideas on colour schemes etc already but she just helped make everything look so much better than I could have done on my own, including what to place where in the rooms.

When we bought our new house she helped us go from this...

To this...

She's amazingly talented, super patient and very lovely to work with!

Good luck and I hope it helps!

Best wishes,

Claire

Hej Sophie! Jag tycker sammetssoffor är jättehärligt, ljus/gammalrosa eller grå är mina personliga favoriter. I vår butik har vi precis fått in en ny soffa i massa olika sammetskulörer, kanske det kan vara något? /Pernilla

Är svensk inredning och design 'lagom'?
Q
Kommentarer (6)
Hej! I am Australian and live in Australia but have lived 7 years in Sweden. My written Swedish is rusty so I am going to write here in English in case you are interested in some more thoughts, although you have probably already written your article. I know more what lagom means than the average English speaker, but I certainly can't truly 'feel' it like a Swede who has grown up with it. For me it feels like how much Kalles I might put on my knackbrod, but I have lately started to try to think of it in terms of interiors and see if it works. The reason I am doing that is that I am currently working in the field of Professional Organising- helping people de-clutter, scale back, and organise. This process results in quite a makeover for a home and even life style and can be life changing. I personally LOVE minimalism and talk about it often but I find that the average person I meet is a bit cynical of minimalism and thinks it is too extreme. I have been reading a ton about minimalism and read some about hygge. I think what the average person is longing for is some minimalism+ some hygge. I think the current world (politics and fast pace of life , overdose of stuff, and overdose of info in our face all day on our screens, etc etc) feels a bit stressful for everyone these days. So, although the average person longs for simplicity, the word minimalism scares some people, and hygge is too cozy for some and so the concept and word LAGOM may be just the answer! The 'world' may start to borrow the word lagom from you Swedes now to fill a need for a word lacking in English that can fall between minimalism and cosy, that can feel relaxing, and which doesn't mean you have to get rid of as much as minimalism does. It may well gain a meaning outside of Sweden that is a different to inside Sweden I suppose. For example if the word became popular it could become a term for a 'style'. That would be pretty different to the meaning inside Sweden. I am actually planning to introduce the concept and word 'lagom' to my clients as way to encourage them to get rid of excess and have a calmer home, yet not be afraid as the goal does not have to be minimalism, it can be 'lagom' - just right, perfect, not too little, not too much. It sounds like a level or quantity they can choose themself as we go along. A bit like Marie Kondo's method; 'Choose to keep only what gives YOU joy and you will end up with just the right amount of stuff. It will be a result that fits YOU, not something you have to try to work to achieve, which I think Minimalism may feel to the average person. Shevaun Sandlund in West Australia.

Badrum före och efter
Q
Kommentarer (6)
Det stämmer! Ibland behöver man faktiskt inte byta ut ett helt badrum, vilket är ganska kostsamt. Är kakel och klinker ok kan man göra en snygg och smart förvandling bara genom att byta badrumsinredning, ny toalettstol, etc. För hantverkarna tog det cirka 3 dagar totalt inkl riva den gamla duschväggen, sätta in nya duschväggar, ny takdusch och blandare, ny badrumsinredning med högskåp, kommod och handfat inkl blandare, spegel, toalettstol, belysning. Sen har jag själv syltat :-)

Thank you.. Jen P :) always nice to get such positive feedback.

Also glad to hear you have great taste ;) ...after Claire expressed her desire for the pantry and laundry doors, I chose the Charleston grey to compliment the scheme (it's a fab colour) and designed the signs myself which were made by the fab Inkmill Vinyl!

Claire Nicholson, your house looks beautiful. Please could you tell me where you bought your banquette dining bench seat? Thank you

Hi Sarah,

Thank you!

It was actually made for us and was surprisingly simple to have done!

Gina our designer (in the post above) did all of the measurements and gave us a specification to give to a carpenter / cabinet maker.

He constructed it out of moisture resistant MDF and then we've just painted it and had custom cushions made.

Having it all made was really very affordable.

I am sure if you wanted something similar Gina would be able to help with a specification if you gave her the room dimensions- she's amazing :)

Here's a couple of better pics of how it started and turned out; it was previously a small downstairs room that added little to the house and Gina came up with a design that incorporated it into the new kitchen to give us lots of space.

To give a perspective on scale, the new table is 2.4m. Still needs a few more coats of paint but it's nearly done!

Hope it helps!

Best wishes,

Claire

Just echoing what others have said, I am very happy to take on just some aspects of a design project, the important thing is to set the scope of work accurately and to make sure it all fits with what you already have in mind!
