Both people with professional education in the field of architecture and design and amateur can create a good design project for an apartment. Of course, this requires maximum attention from a novice designer. Even a small mistake can eventually turn into a headache during the repair process. But patience and diligence can help you achieve the best results.
Below are 7 steps by following which you can create a great design process and make this process easier.
1. Measurements Any fantasy may be faced with the inability to fit it into the existing dimensions of the apartment. Therefore, competent measurement of premises is the basis of a future project. Draw or print the layout of your apartment and indicate on it the actual sizes of your premises. You need to mark on the plan all communications, openings, and heights. Using the compass, indicate the cardinal points.
2. Scale The layout of a house is impossible without a clear scheme, therefore it is necessary to make a drawing of the interior design of an apartment or house. For the correct drawing, it is important to adhere to some sequence. First, you need to set the scale on paper. Ideally, you need to use a checkered line or a special scale-coordinate paper.
Next, you need to draw the axes of the house with the walls indicated. At this stage, it is important to accurately identify all measurements to avoid problems during the construction or renovation process. When creating a house design, it is important to include all windows, doors, arches, internal partitions, and stairs(if the house has more than one floor). For the optimal layout of the premises, you can also use the options of ready-made projects that will simplify the work with the project.
3. Terms of Reference Terms of Reference is your plan for further work on a project. There you can indicate your wishes for the style, composition, and content of the premises and other information that will help make the interior as logical as possible and meet all your requirements. In addition to the text part, add photos and links to the interiors that can inspire you during the work. This can be done before taking measurements of the room.
4. Planning Now is the time to take the apartment plan and try to place your wishes described in the terms of reference on it. If redevelopment of an apartment is required, first learn how to do it legally. In these rooms, you can designate the functional areas, arrange the necessary furniture, and find places for your glass windows. For an ergonomic layout, it is recommended to study some specific information to make correct planning.
5. Volumetric model At this stage, it's time to turn the flat layout of the apartment into a three-dimensional model and take a thoughtful walk into it! You can make it using special programs for three-dimensional models. This helps to understand whether your “flat” ideas will be convenient in life. The model allows you to choose finishing materials and everything you need for the final result.
6. Stylistic solution Before the beginning of this stage, you have a clear functional and ergonomic understanding of your future interior. Now it's time to re-read the terms of reference, revise the pictures of inspiring interiors and start designing your apartment.
When choosing finishing materials, furniture, lighting items, decorative elements, do not forget about the parameters of your apartment. Low ceilings, lack of natural light, and other factors can affect the final result.
7. Blueprints It's time to turn your ideas into a competent work plan for their implementation! On copies of the layout of the apartment, you need to create drawings for dismantling, installation, placement of finishing materials, mark the points of lighting fixtures, arrange sockets and switches, and draw the layout of tiles in the bathrooms. You must create a clear work plan that will allow you to calmly reschedule the repair process and be satisfied with its result.
