When it comes to designing your dream home, who better to understand your needs and preferences than your interior designer? They go above and beyond to create a space that is tailored specifically to you and your lifestyle. In fact, they may even know more about you than your therapist!
To achieve a truly personalized space, interior designers ask their clients a wide range of questions, getting into even the smallest details of their lives. Here are some examples of the questions we ask our clients at Artistic Elements:
What do you drink? Wine or liquor? And do you have a specific brand preference? Believe it or not, your drink preferences can influence the design of your home. For instance, wine collectors may need temperature-controlled cellars, while tequila enthusiasts require tall shelves to showcase their prized bottles. These preferences may seem insignificant at first glance, but they play a vital role in shaping the design of your living space.
Are you right or left-handed? Your interior designer takes your handedness into account to determine the ideal location for the dishwasher and trash. Even the hinge placement on your refrigerator is meticulously considered. After all, an optimized kitchen layout should make your daily tasks as convenient as possible.
Interior design is not just about aesthetics; it also encompasses cultural and religious aspects of your life. We will ask about any specific requirements, such as the need for a kosher kitchen or a floor plug for a Christmas tree in your living room. By incorporating these elements into the design, your home becomes a reflection of your personal beliefs and values.
Do you shower together with your partner? Surprisingly, the answer plays a role in planning your bathroom layout. Whether it’s separate showerheads or a roomy shower enclosure, accommodating your unique lifestyle preferences in the bathroom is an essential aspect of personalizing your home.
Are there specific things you’re sensitive to? Perhaps certain smells, little lights on the TV at night, or sounds that affect your mood? We want to know everything about your sensitivities to ensure your home is a sanctuary where you can truly relax. If you need a full blackout for optimal sleep or specific adjustments to minimize triggers, we will consider these factors to create a space tailored for your comfort.
Your relationship with your interior designer goes beyond simply picking colors and arranging furniture. By sharing personal details, you enable your designer to craft a home that not only looks beautiful but also embodies who you are.
