Without a personal sense of style, a home is nothing but just a house

/in , /by

Without a personal sense of style, a home is nothing but just a house, with some walls and ceilings. Your place must have the right mix of being functional and stylish. Be it your apartment, your office or your commercial space, it is important to maintain a composed and soothing atmosphere in your space. The interior design process comes into play at this level and helps to solve the problem. The intention of this blog is to help you understand the process and how different phases lead to excellent interiors.

Let me take you through the 5 major phases of interior design that collectively form the entire interior design process.

These processes are:

Strategic Planning Phase: Our first step after the initial meeting for any interior design project that we take up, is to inspect the job site and do a walkthrough. We understand the client’s requirements and also things they like doing, the surroundings of their house and their expectations and overall liking. This helps to create the concept

Conceptual Development Phase: During the conceptual development, functionalities are defined. We create a mood board to help clients understand the theme and concept. Once the mood board concept is approved we work on basic site plans, simple elevations and a new floor plan to make use of blank spaces and rough sections.

Design Development Phase: Once the design and theme are approved the creative juices flow to create the masterpiece of the space. Now, keeping a sync with the architecture and the design theme we start bringing things together in the form of 3d sketches. Every element we select, from flooring to tiles, to mirrors to furniture is done with a focus on the approved design theme. This gives a micro look at how the space would turn out after implementation.
Construction Documentation Phase: At this stage, the approved design is translated into construction documents for contractors for any civil work. The cost estimation is done and a projection is created and gets approved by the client.
Construction Maintenance & Administration Phase: This is the phase where the actual magic happens. The civil work starts now simultaneously we start working on procurement and design of other elements. At Creatives By Riimaa we have stringent procedures in place to ascertain excellent quality, timely services to our clients. Gradually everything starts falling in place as approved in the above phases.

At Creatives By Riimaa we passionately give life to every house. Our team is skilled and well experienced to handle any situation. We don’t leave any stone unturned to ensure a million-dollar smile when they see everything come together!

A House Is Incomplete Without Beautiful Corners

/in /by

Do you often notice the bare corners of some homes and feel like something is missing?

Well, you feel so because definitely there is something missing. Most of the people, including a few designers, concentrate mainly on the more prominent spaces of the house. They ignore the corners, hallway, and foyer while designing spaces.

I feel these are equally important as they add vibrance to the entire look. Also, you can create a bit of drama and elegance when these spaces are styled well.

The foyer area is extremely important to create the first impression and also the curiosity of the complete look of the house. Similarly, bare walls leave a feeling of emptiness. So add some pictures, wall art, wall paper or artwork to make them appealing.

Corners can be made lively with decor, plants or just some statement lights.
Try these and give your space a level up in look and feel.

7 Interior Design Principles And Why It’s Important For You To Know Them

/in , /by

You must be wondering why you need to know these seven principles when you plan to hire an interior designer? Well, I think it’s really important for you to know before you start getting work done. The most important reason is that it will help you understand the process and thus you will know what to expect and when. This also gives you the opportunity to actively participate in the process, thus making the transformation memorable and fulfilling. Interior Design is a combination of science as well as art and so there are some technical aspects to it and knowing the basics help you as they don’t sound blah blah.

The 7 elements of design are created to help balance an interior scheme so that the finished look is aesthetically pleasing, as well as functional.

So let’s have a look at the principles quickly.
1. Balance: It’s about creating a visual harmony bt=y ensuring everything is evenly distributed and creating a sense of equilibrium in your design.
2. Unity: Creating a sense of uniformity between the elements is essential and is achieved with sensible curation of elements.
3. Rhythm: The human brain understands repetition and recognises similar objects quickly that is the reason for creating repetition and contrast in an interior, which helps carry visual interest around the room.
4. Emphasis: This principle ensures that every room has one central element as a focal point and other elements are complimenting it.
5. Contrast: In interior design, contrast is created by combining two or more very different forms. This can be achieved with colour, shapes and textures.
6. Scale and Proportion: The size and proportion of every element are also important to keep the balance and aesthetics. Also, they should be complementing each other.
7. Details: Well it’s all about giving importance to every small element and not overlooking anything around the space.
