Taking A Design Brief For Interior Design

(This has been written from the point of view of the Client; you can modify the questions from your viewpoint , that is, questions that you will ask the client as a designer)

Here are some things for you to think about:

Kitchen

- Who is the main cook and what sort of cooking do they like to do? (baking, stir-fry etc)

- What sort of small appliances do you need to house?

- How much storage will you need for china, plastics and cutlery? just to name a few

- Will you entertain in the kitchen area? Do you need seating?

- What oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge do you want to include?

- Do you want a wine fridge?

- What kind of lighting you will need

- Bench top materials and heights

- Floor to ceiling cabinetry or more modular

- Styles - traditional, contemporary or art deco, etc.

Bathrooms

- Do you want to incorporate a bathtub?

- Will your children mainly be using a particular bathroom?

- Will there be a specific guest bathroom or toilet?

- Average or large size shower area?

- Heights of the main people using the shower

- Storage needed for towels and personal effects including hair dryers, GHD’s and shavers

- Make-up lighting

And the big one...VENTILATION

Laundry

- Who is the main person using this space?

- Do you intend to iron in the laundry?

- What size will your washer and dryer be

- Storage needed for cleaning supplies and linen

- Good access to the outside

- Would you like a drying cupboard?

Rest of the interior

- Do you need a lot of storage for children’s toys and personal effects?

- Who are the main users of each space? For example, the formal living room may only be used by adults,whereas the dining and living area is for the whole family

- How much entertaining do you do?

- What sort of feel do you want each room to have? Luxurious, comfortable, relaxed, formal and the list goes on

- Any inside pets?

Exterior

- Is anyone in your family allergic to certain plants?

- Do you want low care/easy maintenance or do you enjoy gardening?

- Will you spend a fair bit of time outside? Will you entertain in the space?

- What sort of BBQ area do you want?

- Is there, or will there be a pool?

- Do you have any pets?

- Will you need a children’s play area?

There is so much more that could be added to this list; however we could be discussing this all day. When I meet my clients I have a list of comprehensive questions that I go through. I always ask my client to do some research on the things they like and more importantly what they don’t like. This isn’t an expensive exercise as a lot of it can be done through the internet these days, and having visuals with you when you discuss your design brief, will help you to explain what look you are after to your designer.

A good designer will take your brief and come up with a plan that will see it come alive. They also will ensure that colours and materials will add to the structure of your home, depending on its style.

Happy briefing.

Course : Interior Styling & Design

Description

Interior styling is the art of curating and arranging elements within a space to create a visually appealing and harmonious environment.

It involves selecting and arranging furniture, accessories, colors, textures, and lighting to reflect a specific design theme or aesthetic.

Interior stylists use their creativity and knowledge of design principles to transform spaces, creating a mood or atmosphere that suits the client's preferences and functional requirements.

Through careful consideration of space, proportion, balance, and harmony, interior stylists create cohesive and visually striking interiors that evoke a desired ambiance.

Successful interior styling combines functionality and aesthetics, enhancing the overall experience and creating a space that is not only visually pleasing but also reflects the personality and lifestyle of the occupants.

Interior stylists work across a variety of projects from residential interiors to commercial projects such as restaurants, hotels and show homes. Their skills can take them into other areas such as displays for homeware retailers, interior photo shoots and event styling.

Hence, we can see that, 'Interior Styling' is the art of curating furnishings, textures, finishes, lighting and accessories, amongst a plethora of contemporary and antique products.

Pleasing aesthetics, functional design and sustainability will be the core.

It is a useful skill for interior designers, as well as being a stand-alone career in the media, property, and design sectors.

ART INTEGRATION IN CBSE STUDIES

The first day I entered my Design class, my professor wrote me off as a hopeless case as I was a science student!

That a science student cannot be a good artist and a designer was somehow etched in her mind.. However, as the class progressed, she had to agree that this science student was definitely an artist too!!

And in a few days time she had to completely change her mind about science students not being able to create art! Now even experts agree that Design is ‘Science’ integrated with ‘Arts’.

My father, himself a science professor, was an artist at heart! His elder brother, my Jethu, was a commercial artist and a great one at that. He used to send us postcards with his pen and ink drawings on the front side with a small note on the reverse. I used to collect and copy his artwork as a little girl.

Our father was very strict about our science diagrams in school and in college both. He taught us the ‘art of observation’ at a very young age. He was a stickler for minute details and we got scolded for not being able to draw a perfect diagram at times. I also learnt to draw small sketches for every subject and topic.

When we were young, our books were not quite illustrated! I still have nightmares involving the thick History book with small fonts and no pictures at all! Children nowadays are so lucky to have all text books illustrated with sketches and artwork! But I was lucky to have a scientist father who was an artist at heart to teach me the art of observation and eye for detail. When the world was oblivious to mind-mapping, he taught us to map and chart out topics for better remembrance. So armed with this ‘power’ of observation, I entered my design college after my Postgraduation in Life Sciences.

Power of Observation is a skill that all children need to learn. Art integrated learning makes any subject interesting and enjoyable. It also enhances the power of observation in a child.

Now there are two basic kinds of arts, the visual arts and the performing arts. Visual art is that art which we can see- like sketches, paintings, photography and sculpture. Performing arts are music, dance, drama and other arts involving kinaesthetic activities. Integrating creative arts to mundane subjects make them more interesting and the students are able to retain the information better. Also, it is now known that our brain retains colourful and interesting information. Visual stimuli activates the brain’s ability to retain and process information in a better manner. So, here we get the concept of whole brain thinking! And it has now been proven that individuals practicing whole brain thinking are more successful in life.

The Government’s initiative to incorporate ‘Art Integrated Learning’ in schools is a commendable one. However, an issue commonly brought is that “not all teachers are artists,” meaning that there aren’t enough teachers capable of doing art to teach in every classroom. But here we would like to state that whether or not a teacher can do these things is irrelevant. The aim here is not to create master artists, but rather teach basic arts skills, processes, and aesthetic quality, and encourage creative teaching techniques.

The skills of art integrated teaching are simple and easy to learn and teach. We believe that these methods will be infinitely useful to creating interesting lesson plans and once put in practice will be enjoyed by both the teacher and the student. Once an arts-integrated environment is established, techniques, examples, and information can be shared and used.

As a Design Teacher and Mentor I have been consciously and sub-consciously using Art Integrated learning for my students from when I started to teach. I remember a batch of students whom I was coaching for Design Entrance exams. The whole bunch of students were scared of mathematics!! So I started them with copies a book which had lots of illustrations on the sides. I asked them to first colour the cartoons illustrated on the sides and then start reading the chapter. I am pleased to inform you that all of them picked speed in solving complex mathematical problems thereafter. They had learnt to integrate creativity into the subject of mathematics which they found mundane otherwise!

I also see many teachers of subjects like Marketing and Finance, encourage story and graphic techniques to the learning process. My son, studying Economics, once made a storyboard for one of his college topics using a drawing software and created a very creative presentation alongwith his team and I was very impressed by the way they were learning! They really made use of lots of interesting graphics to understand Economics and Finance!

So dear teachers, parents, guardians and our dear students, the era of Arts Integrated Learning is here to stay! Do try out Visual and performing arts techniques to teach and learn any subject from now onwards. Engage the students creatively for all subjects. A reminder again, the aim here is not to create master artists, but rather teach and learn basic arts skills, processes, and aesthetic quality for better retention of information and cognitive learning. It is learning with Fun.

Thank you for reading my take on the subject of ‘Art Integrated Learning’. I will be back soon with more on the subject.
