Ten reasons to include styling in your project scope
Hello friends,today we are talking about accessories such as artwork ,object d art and beautiful details that we designers like to add to a design as one af the layers when designing your home. This is the area where we most often get the most pushback at the budget meeting.
Clients either feel it’s unnecessary expense or that it’s estimated cost is too high or that they can do it themselves.
I can understand that it can somewhat be overwhelming seeing all these numbers and that the totally normal reaction is to start cutting down the costs. Believe me when I say that that is the wrong thing to do because as a client you will be somewhat disappointed with the results once the project is completed. I have witnessed numerous times where our design clients opted out from this step in our full service design and then at the final reveal felt a bit let down by the results . Most clients imagine these beautiful rooms seen in a design magazines for their home and that is partially the reason they seek our professional expertise,so that we create something unique and beautiful for them . Secret in creating these beautiful rooms is in layers of beautiful colors,fabrics,textures,details,artwork,personal mementos and beautiful details. All of those breath the life in to a space otherwise it will be just plain walls .
I am a firm believer that no good and successful design project is done without this step and our portfolio can vouch for this. https://www.attitude.design/portfolio
Accessories and styling elements allow us designers to infuse a sense of personality and character into a space. They can add unique touches that reflect the client's tastes, interests, and lifestyle.
Here are top ten reasons why you should consider this step and the investment that comes with it in your next design project.
Visual Interest: Styling helps create visually appealing and interesting spaces. Thoughtfully chosen accessories can draw attention to specific areas, break up monotony, and add layers of visual interest.
Completing the Design Story: Accessories are like the finishing touches that complete the design narrative. They help tie together various elements in the space and contribute to a cohesive and well-thought-out design.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Accessories provide a level of flexibility in design. They can be easily changed or updated to give a space a fresh look without requiring a major overhaul. This allows for adaptability to evolving trends or the changing preferences of the occupants.
Expressing Creativity: Styling allows interior designers to showcase their creativity. Selecting and arranging accessories involves a keen eye for detail, color coordination, and a sense of composition, allowing designers to express their artistic vision.
Enhancing Functionality: Accessories aren't just about aesthetics; they can also serve functional purposes. Items like throw pillows, rugs, and artwork can enhance comfort, acoustics, and overall usability of a space.
Creating Atmosphere and Ambiance: The right accessories can significantly contribute to the overall atmosphere and ambiance of a room. Whether it's through lighting, textiles, or decorative items, designers can evoke specific moods and emotions.
Reflecting Trends: Accessories are a great way to incorporate current design trends without committing to permanent changes. Designers can experiment with trendy pieces that can be easily replaced as styles evolve.
Client Satisfaction: Styling allows designers to fulfill the desires and preferences of their clients. It's an opportunity to bring the client's vision to life and ensure they feel a strong connection to the final design.
Attention to Detail: Interior designers are often known for their attention to detail. Styling provides a platform to showcase this meticulousness, as every item is carefully chosen and placed to contribute to the overall aesthetic.
Layers of comfort: by including all of the above spaces become homes that offer refuge from the everyday challenges.
So to conclude my point , styling and accessorizing are integral aspects of interior design, allowing us designers to blend functionality with creativity and create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also reflective of the client's personality and lifestyle.
