Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day❤️Now let’s get into today’s blog so you can learn everything you’ll need to know about creating your own floorplan!

I also want to talk to you about another aspect of what I do, construction detailing. When you think of interior design, you think just that, designing an interior. However, sometimes when I take on a job it’s at the VERY beginning stages of the space itself. Going over floorplans is one of the first meetings I’ll have with a client. They’ll present to me either what they have planned out or what they already have. They’ll tell me what they’re ideal home would look like and the changes they’d like to see in the pre-existing floorplan.

Now, there’s a lot of things you need to consider when it comes to floorplans and construction detailing but your biggest concern should always be their budget. Are you able to make any changes that are more cost-effective?

For example, a client of mine recently brought me a floorplan she had picked out for her new home. One of the first things I changed was the garage door. You probably wouldn’t normally think about it, but by changing which wall the garage door was one greatly decreased the amount of cement she would need for her home, thus saving her money.

For other clients, they may hire me when they’re first moving into a new space. They may want some new furniture to go along with their new space, and maybe they got stuck with a floorplan that they’re not too fond of. That’s where I come in. I’ll take a look at the place and speak with them, understand their sense of style, what they want to feel when they step into their new space and make any changes to their existing floorplan that will allow for that to happen.

Whichever process I go through with a client, these first meetings are always my favorite. It’s a great way to collaborate on making their dream home a reality!
