How to <span style="font-weight: bold;">dress up</span> the interior in stead of build new furniture?<br />To me, there are few things you have to consider:<br /><br />* your <span style="font-weight: bold;">budget</span> (how much you intend to spend to furbish your new house? usually second hand house consists of more refurbish cost and it is depend on the age of the house)<br />* <span style="font-weight: bold;">existing site condition</span> (whether is the existing plaster ceiling, build in furniture, flooring and etc still in good condition?)<br />* <span style="font-weight: bold;">existing interior concept</span> ( is the existing concept suit what you expected?)<br /><br />would like to share with you one of my current projects. The house already furnished with build up furniture, plaster ceiling and also maintain in good condition, therefore, client wish to save on the renovation cost by dress up make it look more cozy with minimal renovation.Actually it is a difficult task with limited budget and also the design of the existing interior look a bit outdated for a young couple like them (my point of view la...)<br /><br />After discuss with the owner, i decided to do some alteration for this house which involved:<br /><br />* change of wall colour<br />* refurbish existing cabinet<br />* lighting effect.<br /><br />FOYER<br /><br />BEFORE<br /><br />this is the existing cabine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRBRUWN9Ywgsi-FZosmVDikFKjyL9pxI-jzW3Go96BTmsspavk545AgafELmh5Kb__EgtZPjdotTehFTzm3uMY5zCCmrbxTK3ihDPMKB0ex-MdGTY_jiM9pe2lvvRruHdKfHS_sYNQ-Qd/s1600-h/foyer+b4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

He told me that, one of his client complaint this to him<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">" ai yoh, overall the design u proposed for my house le.. me and my husband quite like it la...but hor..my study room! Ai yah...the thing u proposed, i able to buy off the rack from xxx furniture shop la! What for i pay u to design my study room leh...." said client A.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span></span><br />It's pop up in my mind...and i begin to question myself..what is a interior designer role?<br />A) We are not a furniture maker neither a furniture designer.<br /><br />Then , you might question then? What is your role ? Aren't u design kitchen cabinet? Wardrobe? Like what kitchen speciallist did? Aren't they call themselves designer too?<br />Yes, we design kitchen cabinet, but we design it as whole; flooring to ceiling to wall to lighting every single detail; but not only design kitchen cabinet and put in the space that you have.<br /><br />Again, to me no right or wrong..but there is something which i wish to again emphasize here, what is a interior designer role.<br /><br />As refer to the web defination source from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_design<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Interior design is a multi–faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to <span style="font-weight:bold;">achieve a built interior environment</span>.<br />The interior design process follows a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis, and integration of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior space that fulfills the project goals.[1]<br /></span><br /><br />To build a interior environment- meaning, the entire interior but not A piece of furniture.<br /><br />In a more simple word - designer task is to create the comfortable ambience for the user.<br /><br />Therefore, it is not a neccesity to customade everything when you can purchase a suitable item from the furniture shop (which is probably 50% or even 100% cheaper compare to customade) yet, the entire interior remain as per the concept that fit owner preference and expectation. No right or wrong, but something to look at.<br /><br />In conclusion i wish to emphasize on a designer role.<br />Please forgive us, we are interior designer...or probably this group of designers are not a good businessman. We don't know how to maximize our profit margin ( or don't wish to) by convince our client blindly spend unneccesary money to customade every single item(in respect to their expectation). <br />We are just a simple designer who focus on the entire ambience of the space, but not a furniture maker.Design...Pointhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627686031783108172noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338031357592359423.post-75565385849517863372010-05-25T08:35:00.001+08:002010-05-25T08:35:59.996+08:00Stubborn...i think am kinda stubborn or too particular on "designer" profession or taking design profession too seriously...<br /><br />This few years, i found that the trend of designing business is change. Lot of contractor or salesman started to call themselves designer and the best thing, is...this group of people who is the affordable group who, own showroom, exhibition booth...and look very convincing to educated end user, "what is design"....feel funny...therefore, i believe, lots of us might not know what a designer task.<br />Lot of people think that designer is :<br /><ul><li>the one who build cabinet loh.... so hire designer must build cabinet ....or the "designer" will show you photo, "nah this cabinet is in your living, quoted u rm XXXX, this is your kitchen rmxxxx"</li></ul><ul><li>some will think that... oh..designer = build kitchen therefore, must have showroom.</li></ul>etc..etc...etc..<br /><br />I respect everyone profession, but please do not give wrong info and "polluted" our profession as a designer when you not providing what a designer should. I understand that, gaining business is very important to every company, but pls respect yourselves and respect your profession.<br /><br />Sometimes i ever think that, probably am just too stubborn..but i just can't change my mind, of taking myself as a businessman, than a designer.....<br /><br />Really hope that, one day, designer profession will be like engineer, architect, accountant,lawyer...those who wish to practice as a designer have to be a qualify person with all practice and exam...but, will it happen? am not so sure..been waited for years.....Design...Pointhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627686031783108172noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338031357592359423.post-91870789254296518502010-04-07T18:10:00.002+08:002010-04-07T18:13:29.584+08:00My appology..I am very sorry for those who left your commend in my blog...as i just found that, i will not get any notification on any commend send...Will improve on that..<br /><br />Again, thanks for dropping by this blog...and pls continue, share with me bout your design and renovation doubt.. :)Design...Pointhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627686031783108172noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338031357592359423.post-54951775465333965902010-02-24T19:09:00.002+08:002010-02-24T19:17:02.852+08:00Happy Chinese New Year!Hi!

To me..especially for house design...the main consideration is always on how comfort the space is for end user.<br />I should emphasized, as designer our main duty is to transform your preferences to your dream home.

No right or wrong.....(no hard feeling..)<br />Actually, an <span style="font-weight: bold;">interior designer task </span>is not only to help you to design your kitchen cabinet nor wardrobe...but they are the one who help you to <span style="font-weight: bold;">create the ambiance</span> of the particular area, for eg: kitchen.
