Three ways to see the design

So you’ve decided that you can no longer live with the kitchen or bathroom that you have in your home, and you feel like it’s time for a redesign. You know you’re ready for a remodel, but before you call in a contractor, they’d love to get a basic background on how a design comes together.

Designing your space will be easy, but before any plan can be implemented, it is important that your designer or contractor understands your personal needs. When it comes to design, there are many aspects to consider. There’s flow, usability, storage, aesthetics, lighting, code compliance, and price.

These are all very important points that need to be addressed along with many others, but before you delve into the design infrastructure, you must first start with a bigger picture.

There are three ways to view a room and they are emotionally, spatially, and aesthetically. Let’s take a look at each one.

Excitement is often the number one reason people decide to remodel a space. There has often been an emotional imbalance between the homeowner and the home that leads to years of frustration and longing for a remodel. Typically, the homeowner has lived in a space they don’t like for a long time because they are unsure of the cost of remodeling, fearful of the remodeling process, or are unclear on how to create a space they will love.

As a designer, it is often necessary to visualize the end result and the emotion that the design will invoke before planning something specific.

A few months ago I met a customer who showed me photos of a bathroom that she found online. This client told me that the photo of this room made her feel happy and that is all she really wanted from her new bathroom.

Designing to make one feel good and evoke a feeling of happiness is the first step, but there is more.

When a designer first enters a space instinctively, he begins to analyze the flow and spatial aspects of how the room works in general. A good design must create a good emotion and a great design goes further and creates a functional but balanced space.

A kitchen can look nice and make one feel good, but if the kitchen is not working properly, the happiness that one feels when looking at the space will quickly dissipate.

When considering your remodel, go beyond pretty pictures on the internet and really focus on how you plan to use your space. Be mindful of creating volume in an area and pay close attention to pathways, staging and work areas.

A properly designed kitchen or bathroom can be easily identified. They seem to flow even when there are people inside the space.

Once you have the sense of well-being from the design and have created a design that fits the space and works with the activities being carried out, it is time to consider the aesthetics of the design.

The aesthetics to consider are texture, balance, shape, color and proportion. The challenge here is to bring all aspects of emotion and space together with the right products and product placement.

One area that is often overlooked when working on aesthetics is lighting. Lighting is such an important part of any remodel and can make the difference between a good design and a great design. Consideration should be given to both the look of the fixtures used and the amount of light, the location of the light, and the type of lighting that is needed.

The remodel process can be intimidating, but by creating a good design plan before the hammer swings, you can be sure your remodel will turn out great!
