6 Steps To Design Your Own Space

Moving into your new condo sounds really exciting and creating the perfect space is a personal journey that a new property owner can truly enjoy. Whether you’re starting from scratch or just looking to refresh an existing space, here are a few key steps to designing your own space to ensure it meets your needs and reflects your personal taste.

Step 1: Define Your Style

The first step to designing your own space is to define your personal style. You can do minimalist, Scandinavian, Japandi or whatever suits your preference. You can search the internet for pegs and references that will make your conceptualization and planning easier. You can also look for design trends to make your space more Instagrammable. This will help guide your decisions when it comes to color palettes, furniture choices, and decor items. Your style might be modern, minimalistic, bohemian, traditional, or a mix of several different styles. Start by looking for inspiration in magazines, online sources, and social media. Pay attention to colors, patterns, textures, and design elements that catch your eye. Over time, you’ll start to develop a clearer sense of your own personal style.

Step 2: Measure Your Space

Before you start decorating, measure the length and width of each room and spots that you intend to decorate, along with the ceiling height and elements that could get in the way – stairs, columns, racks and others. Make a list of the things you like about the space and the things you’d like to change. Think about how you want the space to function and whether you need to accommodate any special needs. This will help you create a plan for designing your space.

Step 3: Choose a Color Scheme

Once you have a sense of your personal style and the needs of your space, it’s time to choose a color scheme. The colors you choose will set the tone for the entire room and help create a cohesive look. You can search online for color scheme associations to help you pick the best option. Look for colors that complement each other and reflect your personal preference. You might choose a monochromatic color scheme with shades of the same color, or you might opt for a bold, contrasting palette. Think about how the colors will work with your furniture, lighting, and decor choices.

Step 4: Select Furniture and Decor

The next step is to choose furniture and decor items that reflect your style and needs. Look for pieces that are both functional and stylish. Consider the scale of the furniture and how it will fit in the space. When it comes to decor items, look for details that add interest and texture to the room. Choose artwork, rugs, and other accessories that complement your color scheme and add personality to the space.

Step 5: Consider Lighting

Understand that lighting is an important element in home design and can transform a space. Design your lighting layout to be both functional and beautiful. Combine downlights, uplights, wall lights, floor lights, hidden lights, feature lights, pendants and lamps to add vast interest and depth to each room.

Step 6: Create a Plan and Start Making the Purchases

Once you have chosen your color scheme, furniture, and decor items, it’s time to create a plan for implementing your design. Consider the layout of the room and how the furniture will be arranged. Think about how you can create a comfortable and inviting vibe. Scout for stores and shops where you can purchase affordable furniture and decors. You have to have a good grasp of your budget to do all these.

Designing your own space is an art. It is a fun and rewarding experience that allows you to express your personal style and create a comfortable and inviting place to call home. Make sure to not compromise functionality for style. At the end of the day, you want a home that meets both your personality and needs.
