In this new book, the author focuses on interior design as a way to not only add a sense of style and form to your home, but also to help you become more confident and self-aware about your own interior design process. The author, Dr. David Schlegel, is a well-known interior designer in the Boston area, where he and his wife, Deb, have lived for many years.
So it’s nice to actually be able to see yourself as a person, even if the book is mostly about making you feel like a person.
I have to say that I’m a little bit wary of this book. I’ve read a few of those books that are more philosophical and in a way, more about the psychology behind the design process. As a designer, I usually feel like I’m following some sort of well-defined process. I use to tell my clients that I am following a “Plan A” and “Plan B” process.
The problem here is that “Plan A” is really “Plan B”. The most important thing you need to do when you start a project is set a Goal. In a traditional design career, the goal is to create a product that will be successful, but what the designer does next is usually the most important thing. Why? Because this goal is what determines the direction of everything else.
A good design process is simple, but it is the goal that dictates what the end product will be. Even if the goal was to make a successful business plan, it would be a bad design process.
Sure, you could write a book about the process, but you’d probably have to have a lot of people working on it. There’s also a danger that the designer would think that they know what’s best because they’ve done the exact same thing before. To avoid that, a good design process involves a lot of questioning. The designer needs to know what to ask for, why to ask for it, and the answer to the question.
So how do you ask the design question? You need to ask yourself what it is you want, why you want it and what it is you dont want. Then you can figure out what to do. The more you ask, the more you can design.
The design process is important because it is the first step to creating a design. To create something you need to work backwards from what you want. If you want a certain type of room, make sure you ask yourself how to achieve it and what you want to achieve. If you dont ask yourself anything about what you want and what you dont want, you won’t get anywhere.
The interior design process is the process of creating a design. Your job is to start with a brief description of what you want and what you dont want. Then you have the time to figure out how to make it happen.
A lot of interior designers think they have to put the house in order before they begin designing. The truth is, it’s easier to create an interior design that’s already in place and working. To get that kind of design, you need to understand the room and then make it work for you. The best way to create a great design is to start with the room in front of you and then try to make that work for you.
