The Value of Design Visualization To Clients

Written by faith | 0

Use design visualization for your project

This Seattle interior designer is fortunate to be featured in an article by HomeSavvi, “Visualize design BEFORE you spend”. What’s excellent about the article is the demonstration using ‘before and after’ images for a real client seeking to update an outdoor space.

In all my projects, my team includes 3D For All, a Seattle based company launched by Mary Curley. Learn about Mary here.

Working together with Mary and the clients, I was able to use images from Gloster Furniture to accurately ‘imagine the outcome of the design concept I proposed.

As I begin work with clients, I offer a design fee of tiered services and two of the three tiers include design visualization. My clients gain confidence about their project and the outcome they desire when the design comes to life in advance of construction.

Imagine seeing your new room before you spend a penny. Remove the stress of design decisions in advance and avoid costly mistakes. Contact Faith Sheridan Design Group for your indoor or outdoor project and experience confidence in the outcome.

Getting Started with Color: Q&A with Seattle Interior Designer Faith Sheridan

Written by faith | 0

As an interior designer and member of the Benjamin Moore Color Advisory team, color is always on my radar. I live and breath color and know how deeply it impacts how we all feel. That impact is especially relevant to our own homes and personal spaces.

Recently, I was interviewed by HomeSavvi. The topic is a popular one that always comes up quickly in a conversation about interior design, Getting Started with Color. This post is a share of that interview, the first of two parts. And before beginning, I wanted to share one color combination that is my current inspiration.

Choosing paint colors for an entire home remodeling project, or even just one room, can be a daunting and overwhelming task. The HomeSavvi Team took some time out to sit down with Faith Sheridan from Seattle-based Faith Sheridan Interior Design to get her input on Color 101, and help you prepare your thoughts before speaking with your remodeling professional.

HomeSavvi: Hello Faith! So what is the first thing you would recommend to homeowners when it comes to choosing color for their home?

Faith: In addition to being ready to tackle a painting project (obviously), the first thing a homeowner needs is inspiration, a color that appeals or is inviting to them. I call it the basic driver – it could be as simple as the color of a pillow, a curtain or a painting. It can also be as general as a color they enjoy wearing.

HomeSavvi: Does the space itself actually matter in the choice of a paint color?

Faith: Yes, definitely. The next step is to think about the room in question, and define the scope of the painting project a bit more. You need to determine what the room you are painting is mainly used for. Is it a room with multiple purposes with lots of wear-and-tear, or is it completely isolated and seldom used? If it is attached to another room in the house, that other room needs to be considered in the equation as well because they need to blend together as part of the home’s architectural design. The color you choose will also dictate the mood and feeling you want to capture in the space to be painted. (to be continued)
