For residential design this process is very specific for individual situations. It solely depends on the needs and wants of the client. It is important to start the project with a good understanding of the client’s aesthetic and stylistic preferences. This information needs to be discussed and taken into consideration from the initial planning stage of a project regardless of the size and scope of the job. Developing a good interior design is a very involved process that cannot be rushed or haphazardly put together. It must be given the time it deserves and fine-tuned throughout the design phase as it helps realize the clients vision for the space that has been created.

Interior design helps to enhance the interior of a building by achieving a more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. It is important to properly plan, research and coordinate the different finishes of a project. There is an emphasis on planning, functional design and the effective use of space. When working through the interior design it is important to consider the arrangement and basic layout of the various spaces within a building as well as properly understanding some of the more technical issues such as window and door locations, acoustics, daylighting and structure. While it is possible to introduce and create new spaces by building partition walls, load-bearing walls cannot be altered without consulting with the architect or structural engineer.
Good interior design requires the participation of highly skilled professionals that help create interior environments that are not only functional but are also safe and adhere to the local building codes and regulations. It is important to consider aspects beyond the selection of colors and furnishings such as basic knowledge of construction documents, occupancy requirements and sustainable design principles. One must also be aware of and familiar with the management and necessary coordination of other professionals including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural engineers. It is necessary to approach all interior design this way to ensure that people can live, work and enjoy the space they occupy by making it aesthetically pleasing.
