Hiring a qualified specialist, you deliberately trust him with the most expensive and valuable for you – the design of your own apartment. You expect all your wishes will be taken into account, and the final result will come out exactly the way you imagined it.
What responsibility should be laid on the shoulders of the designer and what to demand from him?
First of all, we will determine how many people will participate in the arrangement of your apartment.
As a rule, a whole company is engaged in design, where one or more people create a design project itself, and the rest implement it in life. But you can find an individual specialist who will develop the project for you, and hire a construction team separately.
The list of responsibilities of the selected company also depends on this: either exclusively the development of sketches, technical projects and issuing work, or a complete set of services, including repair and redevelopment.
The work of the designer
The work of the designer involves several stages, not one of which should be missed.
The first stage is to familiarize yourself with your apartment (and even the home as a whole), lifestyle and hobbies of the owners, your wishes and preferences. And here you need to be extremely frank with the designer: to report on financial restrictions, specific wishes regarding the location of the interior elements, color scheme and textures, your life principles and values. Distorting information, trying to look in the best light, you run the risk of getting an apartment in which you will feel uncomfortable. After all, it was developed for a completely different person.
We collect the necessary information
Having collected the necessary information and deciding on the general decision of the apartment, the specialist begins to work measurements and the implementation of sketches. He determines the possibilities of redevelopment, selects the style of furniture and decor elements.
After approving these sketches, the most painstaking work begins – the development of a technical project. All disputed moments must be resolved before this stage, since redoing the drawing of the entire apartment due to the need to transfer 2 meters to the left of the outlet is not the most attractive prospect.
Technical drawings will take into account the location of all types of communications, the specifics of the electrical wiring, the location of the partitions and individual decor elements – up to lamps and carpets. Based on them, an estimate is compiled and the necessary materials are purchased. Until the final stage, you can still make some minor changes regarding finishing materials.
Realizing that real marble your wallet will not pull, you can choose cheaper material.
And the designer completes the work of the designer full control over the progress of construction and finishing work, as well as the final design of the interior: from hanging curtains to the manufacture of exclusive lamps and structures.
Be sure to clearly follow the work of the designer at each stage. Feel free to report the need to make changes or change of the situation. After all, such interaction is the key to high -quality and complies with your requirements of the result.
