Creating a Design Plan

Interior Space Planning 

 

Before starting to decorate your room, it is important to consider the function of the space concerned. Does the room or space need to be formal, elegant,casual or playful. Who would be using the room,and primarily what would be its usage. You would also need to assess what you already have, furniture and  fixtures that will need to be incorporated  into your design plans. Think about the personality and the taste of the person using the room.
