Things You Should Keep In Mind Before Choosing the Best Luxury Interior Designer In Mumbai

Luxury is a preference of all the senses combined and is hard to define in absolutes, however, a common binding factor in luxuriously designed spaces is the focus on comfort with special emphasis on customised touches which makes the space stand apart.

A designer can make such a space a reality since they are trained in these disciplines. However, the notion of luxury being so subjective, it is absolutely important to choose the right designer who will use their vision to create spaces for you that will be, well, You!

This vision also should comprise the geological aspects. For instance, a home in the hill station will have to be done in very different aesthetic and functional sensibilities as opposed to a home designed for the city.

How to Choose the Right Interior Designer For Your Dream Home?

Below are some pointers to keep in mind when choosing the right interior designer in a Metropolis like Mumbai.

1. Do Your Research

The first step is to look for designers either through the internet or through common contacts and studying their works. It usually helps to have multiple firms or individuals to start with, so the wants and avoids sections starts taking shape. Some of the works done by them might be exactly what you’re looking for. 

2. Requirements 

Since by now, you have a vague idea of what you like and what you don’t, start making a list of requirements that you need spatially. These could be in addition to the common lists of rooms, bathrooms etc., and include interest areas like a home office, a yoga room, a music area and so on. 

3. Your Style

Once you know your house will be comprised of, say a study, elaborate for yourself what environment would best suit your activities. Choose the look and feel that you would want in your dream home. This can be done in a montage of images, or you can also highlight any looks that can be adapted for your space from the designers existing portfolio. 

4. Shortlisting

Once you’ve decided the look and feel for your space, the next step will be to shortlist designers that fall in the bracket of your style or have worked with clients or projects with similar taste. This narrows down your search, and you can start preparing to meet and start the process. 

5. Budget

This is the most important aspect, as this will let you define the extent of work that you can comfortably carry out. A fixed figure will help the designer to plan the resources wisely. 

6. Meetings 

By this time, you have all the information to pass on to the designers as guidelines. In addition to the design aspects, meeting your shortlisted designers lets you know if you’re comfortable in associating, person to person with them. Getting at least three designers to make mood boards to convey their visions for your space would also make you see what they have taken away from your guidelines and if you, in turn, like their outlook. 

7. Communication 

The process of house design and execution is a lengthy one and requires open communication between the two parties. Also, the contractual details should be put forward and discussed, which will state the timelines, pay schedules, and expectation etc. This leaves no awkward talks in the middle of the project or any surprises as it is you, who has to plan the resources. 

In the end, its always your gut that drives you towards certain styles, colours, images, and people. Follow your instincts and map out step by step what will make your house a place worth living in and being proud of.
