Today, we’re diving into the process of designing unique homes that are infused with the personality of our clients. At Lyndsay Bragg Design, we believe every home should reflect the people who live in it. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our process to achieve this.
Understanding our Client’s Personal Style
Our process begins with a deep dive into understanding your personal style. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire design.
- Discovery Call + In-Depth Consultation: We start with a phone call and in-depth consultation to learn about your preferences, lifestyle, and inspirations. This involves discussing various design styles, from minimalist to maximalist, and reviewing inspirational images to pinpoint what resonates.
- Lifestyle Analysis: Understanding how you live and use your space is key. Whether you entertain often or need a tranquil retreat, our designs are tailored to support your daily activities.
- Concept Crafting: We create a mood board that includes concept images, colors, and finishes/furniture that you love. This visual tool communicates the overall style, look and feel, and direction for the design ensuring we are on the same page. If not, no worries! We revise until we get it right (which we always do 😊).
Material & Finish Selection
Choosing materials and finishes is a critical part of the design process. These elements set the tone and mood for the entire space.
- Color Palette Development: We work with you to develop a color palette that reflects your personality and desired atmosphere. This involves selecting primary, secondary, and accent colors – everything from the wall, and trim, to millwork. These colors can be unique to each space so that every room tells its own story while remaining cohesive.
- Texture Integration: Combining different textures adds depth and interest to a space. We carefully select materials like plush fabrics, woven textiles, and sleek metals to create a rich, layered look that feels cohesive.
Incorporating Personal Mementos and Antiques
Personal mementos and antiques are what make a space truly unique. We find creative ways to incorporate these items into the design.
- Personal Items: We encourage you to share your cherished items, such as family heirlooms, travel souvenirs, and DIY projects. These pieces are then thoughtfully integrated into the décor.
- Gallery Wall Creation: We often design gallery walls to display photos, artworks, and memorabilia. This not only personalizes the space but also tells your story in a visually appealing way.
- Curated Displays: Rotating and curating displays keep the space dynamic and engaging. We plan for flexible shelving and display areas to accommodate changes over time.
Custom Furniture and Unique Pieces
Custom furniture and unique pieces are essential for creating a space that stands out and serves your needs.
- Bespoke Furniture: We collaborate with skilled craftsmen to design custom furniture that fits the space perfectly and aligns with our shared vision.
- Unique Finds: We source unique, statement pieces that add character to the space. These items often become the focal points and conversation starters within a room. We love incorporating antique pieces and modern accessories to provide a balanced look.
- Functionality and Aesthetics: Each piece is selected not only for its beauty but also for its functionality. Our goal is to create spaces that are as practical as they are stunning.
Designing Functional Yet Personalized Spaces
Balancing functionality with personal style is at the heart of our design decisions. We ensure that every space is both beautiful and practical.
- Multi-Purpose Rooms: We design rooms that serve multiple functions, such as a home office that doubles as a guest room. This involves clever space planning and versatile furniture choices.
- Smart Storage Solutions: Stylish storage solutions are integrated to keep your space organized. This includes built-in shelving, chic baskets, and innovative storage furniture.
- Personal Touches: Even in the most functional spaces, we add personal touches that reflect your style, like favourite books, art pieces, and indoor plants.
Personalizing Different Rooms
Each room in a home offers unique opportunities for personalization. Here’s how we approach different spaces:
- Living Room: We create a welcoming and cozy living area with a mix of seating options, personal mementos, and varied textures.
- Bedroom: For the bedroom, we focus on creating a serene sanctuary with calming colors, soft linens, and meaningful décor items.
- Kitchen: In the kitchen, we infuse personality with color, unique backsplashes, and display shelving to incorporate personal items.
- Bathroom: We add character to bathrooms with stylish fixtures, artwork, and plants, making these functional spaces luxurious and personal.
- Outdoor Areas: Designing personalized outdoor spaces involves selecting comfortable furniture, thoughtful lighting, and greenery that reflects your taste.
Staying Ahead and Educated
Keeping up with innovations and education helps us bring fresh ideas to our projects, ensuring our designs are both current and timeless.
- Product Knowledge: We stay up to date with the latest products, customization, and technology to enhance your every day.
- Sustainable Choices: We prioritize eco-friendly and sustainable design options that are both stylish and good for the environment.
