From Vision to Reality: The Anatomy of Interior Design Projects
Manage episode 479188801 series 3651948
What Are The Steps In Our Process?
Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of a professional interior design project? Roy and Diane Mitchell pull back the curtain on their unique, client-centered approach that has transformed countless houses into dream homes over their 50-year combined careers.
The Mitchell team reveals why listening is their superpower and how they've structured a process that begins long before any furniture is selected or colors are chosen. They guide clients through "design journey prompts" that dig deeper than aesthetic preferences, exploring how spaces should function and feel. This foundation-setting phase—followed by transparent conversations about timelines and budgets—transforms abstract wishes into concrete plans with clearly defined parameters.
What sets the Mitchells apart is their partnership philosophy. "We're locking arms and moving through all the different vendors, options for products, and services," Roy explains. They encourage clients to ask questions and push back when needed, ensuring complete understanding before implementation. The goal transcends mere decoration: "We're trying to make the client's house their house, something they can see themselves living in rather than going somewhere else on vacation."
Technology has revolutionized how the team helps clients visualize concepts, blending 3D renderings with tangible samples. Yet Roy and Diane emphasize that these tools serve their vision—developed first in their minds—rather than dictating it. The most rewarding moments? Meeting clients initially to spark imagination, then witnessing their excitement when visions exceed expectations.
