Every space is unique. The dimensions, layouts, directions, heights, bends and corners, exposure to sun lights are different from space to space. Moreover every family has their unique requirements for space utilisation, type and number of furniture, storage, open space etc.

Therefore the first step should be to understand your space from all angles and define your requirements.

The scope of interior decoration is endless – there are different classes of Interior – Viz. Basic –Classic –Elite depending upon the material, finish, brands etc. Therefore before starting your interior decoration project, you should first define your budget and range. All the planning should be as per this predefined budget otherwise there can be many unwanted surprises at the end.

This step is important. The List of Items (viz Bed, Wardrobe, Dressing Unit, Display unit, Crockery Unit, TV unit) should be prepared room wise. Moreover it will be better if all the items can be classified into 3 categories –Vital, Essential and Desired. During final calculation of project cost all the vital items should be incorporated first, then the essential items and lastly the desired items.

Once the list of items are finalised, it will be the right time to focus on design styles. There are several styles of design viz. Modern, Contemporary, Minimalist, Traditional, Transitional, Bohemian, Rustic.

You have to choose the your preferred design style so that all the designs can be prepared in the same direction.

In an Interior Decoration Project, not only the choice of colour but the choice of colour combinations play a vital role. For example in a fully decorated home, many walls can be visible simultaneously. So accordingly, the colour combination, colour matrix and colour overlapping effect has to be considered with due importance.

Although accessories and Home furnishings are required at the final stage, it should be planned well in advance slowly but steadily – so that the right material of right quality at right price can be procured at right time.

Lastly before finalising the planning part, financial planning ( how much fund required at what time ) should also need to be done with due importance so that all the activities can be done smoothly as per the Time and Action plan.
