Interior designers play a key role in the construction process, making sure spaces are functional and aesthetically pleasing. They help with architectural plans and interior environments. At Interiors by Steven G, we bring our client’s design preferences into construction with creativity and accuracy. Here are six ways designers can assist with construction:
1. Consultation and Space Planning
Interior designers start with an in-depth consultation. This helps them understand the client’s lifestyle, needs, and preferences. They can then develop and assess a floor plan, creating layouts that maximize functionality and flow. At Interiors by Steven G, we assist in creating floor plans to scale, making sure each square inch is accounted for.
2. Design Development and Materials
Once the client approves the plan, the next step is design development. This phase involves selecting materials, finishes, fabrics, and furnishings. Clients can visit the showroom at Interiors by Steven G to see products sourced from around the world. We have a 110,000-square-foot environment that holds various styles, such as contemporary or neoclassic. This allows our clients to explore a range of designs to refine their preferences. Some materials include wood, stone, tile, or glass. Finishes can include matte, glossy, or brushed metal.
3. Architects and Contractors
Architects, contractors, and designers collaborate during a construction project. Designers help provide key insights for spatial layouts, material specifications, or interior details. By working closely with other construction professionals, designers verify certain elements are feasible. They also make sure the design will work with the overall construction vision. This helps avoid any misunderstandings during the process.
4. Custom Millwork and Built-in Features
Custom millwork or built-in features can reflect a client’s personal style and taste. Designers inspect the project’s cabinets, moldings, or integrated furniture before installation. Other custom millwork might include wainscoting for textures or elegant board and batten. Coffered ceilings or wall paneling add architectural depth and character.
Built-in features may include tailored storage for kitchens, bathrooms, or offices. Built-in bookcases or recessed shelving are ideal for living rooms. Window seats or fireplace mantels made of wood or stone are other ideas for custom features.
5. Lighting Design and Electrical Plans
Lighting helps set the ambiance and functionality of a given space. Designers develop lighting plans for task, accent, and ambient lighting. They coordinate with electricians for the proper placement of fixtures and switches. This helps verify a client’s aesthetics and practical needs are met.
6. Quality Control and Final Inspection
Making sure every element is seamlessly incorporated is a high standard for designers. They conduct a thorough inspection during and after the construction project. This helps verify that all the work aligns with clients’ specifications and quality expectations. The final inspection involves arranging furniture, accessories, or artwork for a unified appearance. At Interiors by Steven G, we make sure every installation is correct and accurate for a finished space that fits the client’s preferences.
