Interior Design Visualisation
Mental images are often part of the creative process. When it comes to getting creative with interior design, it helps if you’re able to visualise your ideal end result.
But how easy is it to imagine a finished room before you’ve even started a project? Thankfully, interior designers have this ability.
If you’re lucky enough to get guidance from an interior designer, they should be able to create a visual representation of your own ideas. Mood boards, sketches, colour swatches, can all help you to see the big picture in your mind.
Another way to get inspired is to visit a furniture / interior design showroom. This can help you to literally get a ‘feel’ for your perfect furnishings. Showrooms tend to be set-out in ‘lifestyle’ scenarios, to give you physical examples of how certain products would look in situ.
Visit the shows
