How To Do A Profitable Interior Design



Interior design, and home furnishings, is an art form. For the professional,one has to create an ambiance that someone will buy.For the home owner, their task is to make a comfortable home on a budget, which sometimes can be very little indeed. The challenges are the same for both. make something interesting that works,is comfortable, something that someone will call home.I did enjoy the early days working as a developer and interior designer,I would buy property as cheaply as possible and converted as cheaply as possible.


An early granite town house was a prime example of squeezing as many flats out of available floor space. wall would stay put, but doors were sometimes blocked up ,and new ones created. The aim was creating wealth , not creating classical looks. The challenge was money led.On this early conversion we succeeded ,we did brilliantly well, in record time, we converted and sold all the flats .


We had created car parking spaces and,living accommodation that was certainly affordable. The apartments were popular, they were smaller and less expensive as the went higher up the house.I had never made so much money so quickly.Something struck a chord, it was no longer satisfying to work just for money. I needed to do something which had more flair about it.My next phase was some of the most enjoyable times of my life. I had money to spend on creating and developing my ideas. The balancing act was not to be too carried away,I would still have to make a profit, but I could bring out the artist in me and experiment with colors and painting techniques.


A new challenge emerged, what color schemes went together,and how many different colors could I use in the same room and it still look good. We did not stop there, we built custom wardrobes in a lot of the alcoves,I did not want the apartments to have free standing pine wardrobe shoved in a corner,a pine wardrobe would have to be placed in the right situation. After a lot of thought, and redoing the color schemes.The fitting of different shaped custom pine wardrobes, into recesses either side of chimneys ,and other places,finished the interior design perfectly. The result was, I did feel proud of the design,and that the buyers had a good quality home,and also a lot of money was made by the fast sales
