Today was a really productive day. I was able to add my input toward a new design, which I wasn’t completely confident about at first, but my mentor really liked my ideas. That gave me a lot of reassurance and motivated me to keep experimenting with her software to recreate the room design. however i did relieve some some constructive point witch threw me off but i kept focused.
I also spent time choosing wallpapers, which turned out to be a lot harder than I expected. You have to make sure every element feels cohesive without being too repetitive. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to select the right materials, wallpaper, flooring, or furniture because each choice can easily clash with the rest of the design if you’re not careful. I’ve started to see that interior design isn’t just about making things look good, it’s about balancing colours, textures, and budgets while still meeting the client’s expectations.
Although my employer liked one of my earlier designs, the client wanted something quite different, so I had to scrap that design and start again from scratch. That was definitely frustrating, especially since I had already spent a lot of time working on it. However, I understand now that this is part of the design process clients often change their minds or have preferences that don’t match your initial ideas. It’s important to stay flexible and learn how to adapt quickly while still keeping your creative input. I also realised how essential it is to know what specific pieces the client wants, such as a particular dining table or lighting style, before starting the design. Without that, it’s easy to go off track or go over budget. Even though it can be challenging, these experiences are helping me develop more professional awareness and problem-solving skills, which I know will be valuable in future projects
