Designing Spaces with Heart: How to Start Your Interior Design Project
Manage episode 479080156 series 3651948
How Do You Get Started?
Looking to transform your home but feeling overwhelmed about where to begin? This episode pulls back the curtain on the interior design process, revealing how professionals like Roy and Diane Mitchell approach the crucial first steps that make all the difference.
The creative duo explains their unique "design journey prompts" – thoughtful questions that go far beyond color preferences and room dimensions. These prompts help uncover the emotional aspects of home: how you want your space to feel, what memories resonate with you, and how your environment can better support your lifestyle. As Roy shares, "What we've done is put together questions that truly get to the heart of what your home feels like currently."
One particularly fascinating insight involves bringing luxury hotel experiences into everyday living. Why spend thousands on vacation just to enjoy beautiful surroundings when you can create that same feeling at home? The Mitchells also tackle the challenge of blending meaningful heirlooms with contemporary design, sharing a remarkable story of integrating a 1700s English buffet and antique tapestry into a sleek, modern space using lucite, chrome, and clever display techniques.
For couples struggling to align their design visions, the Mitchells offer practical advice: independently explore platforms like Pinterest and Houzz, then compare inspirations. "A lot of times they're not too far apart," Diane notes – a reassuring thought for anyone navigating design decisions with a partner.
