Designing your dream home interior: How to get started

by Laura Schindler 04/06/2024

Designing a custom home interior is an amazing opportunity to stretch your creativity and showcase your personal style. However, it's not always clear where to begin. If you're interested in strategies for designing your own dream home interior, here are some tips to help:

Budget wisely

Budget should be at the top of your priorities list when planning the design for your dream home interior. Make a list of your must-haves and another with features you want but could reasonably sacrifice. Once you have your lists prepared, do some research to find out what your wishlist will cost. By getting quotes from contractors, you can determine if any construction work will fit your budget.

Think about room placement

The arrangement and placement of rooms in your home can have a huge impact on the design and your own comfort. For example, consider which direction your windows face. Bedrooms located on the eastern side of the house will get full sun in the morning, while home offices or media rooms on the western side may end up with glare from afternoon rays. Consider other factors such as noise from outside, air flow and accessibility to plan the best layout for your dream home.

Find your inspiration

It can be difficult to know where to begin when planning an interior design from scratch. However, if you gather sources of inspiration and make note of specific details you love, you can find a way to incorporate them into your finished design. Consult a variety of websites, magazines and even furniture stores to collect your ideas. Even if you don't immediately find things you want, you may identify things you want to avoid.

There is no right way to design your dream home interior. However, by keeping these tips in mind you can get started on your own design journey to create the home of your dreams.
