The first step of the interior designing process is to understand the space and the requirements of each room. There are a few questions you should have an answer for. Firstly, how many people stay in the house? What is the purpose of designing? What is the thought process behind it?
These points are necessary to ponder over. Having a clear floor plan with a list of your requirements is important. Plan your home interiors with a clear vision and you can share your thoughts with an interior designer to help you further.
Next is to set a budget for your home interiors. You don’t have to spend a fortune on the interiors of your home. Divide your budget for each room and for your kitchen separately. It will depend on several factors like the size of the room, type of furniture, furnishings and accessories. However, if there is a crunch, you can always opt for easy EMI options.
This is the main step of the interior designing process. Design development is a blend of the creative thought process and interior architecture. Space planning is the most integral part of the design process. An interior designer will give you a design blueprint or a virtual design of your room. This will help you understand the usage and the proportions of the room. The visuals will transform into reality once the process begins.

The next step would be to plan all the electrical points and light fittings. It’ll include getting the plumbing and pipeline work done too. Electrical points need to be decided before you start getting the rooms painted or wall paper work done. Lighting plays a significant role while designing the home interiors.
False ceiling is usually made one foot below the real ceiling. The electrical ducts and points are set through this false ceiling. It has become a vital part of modern home interior designing. Apart from hiding the basic infrastructure like plumbing pipes and electrical wires, it adds to the design of the room.
Selecting the right flooring can be a little time-consuming task. Gather some information about the types of flooring as you plan the interiors. You can pick hardwood, laminates, tiles or vinyl. The choice depends on the cost, area and the pros and cons of each option available. For example: while deciding on the bathroom flooring, you should check if the material used will make the bathroom floor slippery or not.
If you are getting your furniture designed, you must possess some knowledge about the woodwork and types of materials. Think about the purpose of the furniture and space before you buy it. Utility and beauty, both go hand in hand. If you have a small living space, get furniture with enough storage space.
Choosing a colour for your walls is the most interesting part of the process. Select colours which will go with the lighting and the furniture. Learn about the different paint finishes if you want to give the walls a textured finish.
For each room, you can select different kinds of accessories. Using colourful accessories in your living room and bedroom can accentuate the design of the space. The use of different textures will bring in fun and joy. For your bathroom, select the faucets, and other plumbing fixtures well in advance.
After you have your interior plan ready, the real work begins. After that, the installation process follows. In this part of the process, all the elements and appliances decided upon are installed and worked upon.
Finally, it comes down to the finishing of the design. You must keep an eye on the finishing of the work done. Check on the polish of the woodwork, the finish of the paint and the furniture, the strength of the cabinet handles and the corner finishing of each room.
As it is said, a good beginning makes for a good end. So plan your home interiors properly, and it’ll be a happy journey all the way to your dream home.
