Once you know what type of feel you want, turn your focus to making it into a reality.
What home elements are most important to me?

Make a list of everything in your home that needs to be taken care of, and rank each item in order of importance. That way, you can see where your priorities lay in the interior design process plainly written out.

What is a good way of using lights in your room?
A good way of using lights in the room is to use 80% of lights overhead, and 20% of light should be a free stand or wall mounted like table lamp, art lamp or library lamps. It will draw attention of your interior and paintings.

Do interior designers provide furniture?
Some interior designers focus solely on design, while others also offer assistance in sourcing furniture and decor as well. Find a designer who can supervise the entire project, from the purchasing of furniture and decor to the carpentry work for the kitchen and wardrobes to the actual installation of everything, if you want your
experience to be as stress-free as possible.

Do you offer after sales support?
Now you don’t want them just to hand over a freshly designed home to you and leave. Ask them if they provide a warranty on their products. Make sure you don’t miss out on post-delivery communication with your designer once your newly done up home is handed over to you.
