Process
A structured process that keeps creative decisions practical.
Good design is easier to deliver when the brief is clear, decisions are sequenced and every stage has a purpose.
1. Brief
Goals, users, budget, constraints, timing, risks, preferred level of involvement and success measures.
2. Concept
Direction, mood, spatial principles, material language and early design priorities.
3. Resolve
Layouts, selections, schedules, coordination notes, procurement logic and cost-sensitive choices.
4. Deliver
Supplier coordination, site queries, installation priorities, styling and handover support.
Decision discipline
Interior projects become expensive when decisions are made in the wrong order. The process should protect clients from premature purchasing, isolated selections and late discoveries about power, access, lead times or maintenance.
Before you start
Use the interior design brief template to collect the information that usually drives early design direction.
