DEFINE THE STYLE
OF YOUR HOME
AN ESSENTIAL FIRST STEP FOR ANY HOME PROJECTS
Whether you are planning a project or just want to get to know your hoME and your style preferences better, defining an interior and exterior style profile for your home will help.
A well defined style profile will:
Serve as a reference to advise decorating, design and construction decisions.
Streamline choices in materials, fixtures, finishes and colours.
Simplify and clarify communication with suppliers, builders or designers.
Ensure a cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing project outcome.
Home style is made up of two fundamental aspects:
The exterior architectural style
The interior design style
It is important to explore both of these aspects. We like to start with the exterior, where it is easier to gain an understanding of the overall design and character before moving to the interior.
By doing so, we can identify the key elements that define a particular style, research its origins, and ultimately create a cohesive plan that pairs the exterior architectural style with a complementary interior design.
The process of style definition is the same for both interior and exterior and generally includes the following elements:
Evaluation of existing style elements;
Consider architectural or interior style reference;
Research style and associated details;
Define a concise style profile.
