In residential design, you will be planning and designing spaces within a client’s home or apartment. Most often, if you decide to specialize in home design, you will take it a step further and additionally specialize in a specific aspect of residential design. Maybe you’d be a kitchen redesign expert, a home office organizer, or a custom furniture designer.
Your projects will range from totally new construction- people who just built a home and want you to style its interior from start to finish- to projects in which you’re helping clients highlight, rearrange and repurpose some furniture and décor they already own in a room redesign project. You might help suggest paint colors, furniture, or new décor to clients to purchase in supplement to what they already own as well, all in an effort to enhance their home space.
On a higher level, you might make much more substantial redesign recommendations when it comes to home style. Maybe you feel a home could benefit from a more open, airy layout- you might recommend the addition or elimination of entire walls. Maybe you’ll suggest the installation of a skylight or new ceiling design to add an interesting element, maybe new flooring and floor design, trim work, an exciting light installation- the list goes on.
