How it works
The design project is broken down into two stages: project’s development and its realization. It is important for me not only to prepare an appealing outline, but also to realize the project of a great quality. It is the reason why, beside the detailed project, you can get additional services - designer’s supervision.
Project’s development
1. Preparation
- We meet each other to discuss the object and the amount of required work
- I fill in technical specification, offer interior design analogies (analogies help to determine the style and the palette of the general design)
- A contract is signed, and down payment is made
- I visit the project’s space: I measure the site and take pictures of it
2. Layout planning
Development plan is one of the most intrinsic stages of the project. Choosing a development plan influences not only the functionality of the interior, but also its visuals. There are common tendencies and features of a modern interior design, for example, separating private and common spaces, visual hiding of a technical room and facilities, reduction of the corridor space, considering window view, interior design’s views and so on.
- During this stage, you are offered all of the successful designs (there are usually 3-6 options) as plans and 3D schemes (we can screen through the scheme, estimate the workload and “scheme” of the space)
- We discuss the layout planning
- We choose the layout plan, make adjustments if needed. As a rule, there is a combined option out of a few plans.
3. The concept of interior
The concept is the first drafts of the interior. I create them to get the atmosphere, the mood, and the style of the space. The concept is presented as a collage.
During this stage, we approximate the costs of the materials for the project, so we can work on the visuals, relying on costs of the realization, and more accurately outline the final project.

4. 3D Model
- 3D model: I create a 3D model of the space, which allows to examine the design from different angles, including the details.
- Panorama 360: I create Panorama 360. You can use the panorama to be inside the space, rotating it, immerse yourself into the design, experience its vastness and personal attachment to it.
5. Blueprints
During this stage, I develop blueprints, layouts and specifications for further realization of the confirmed design. I design a construction part of the design, as well as technical enquiry for the furniture production. It is a final stage. After it, you will have a complete project, ready for its realization.
P. S.
I suggest starting replanning of the living space during this stage. We already have plans for the space’s reorganization, which can be sent over to other organizations for their part of the work in the project and to the local authorities for legalizing the replanning.

6. Specifications
Specifications are simultaneous with all the other stages of the project. They look like a table with articles, links, shop references and the required amount of materials. Some articles require greater attention, and they are referenced to only by their approximate costs, which are specified during tight work with the showrooms’ managers (it is often true for individually manufactured furniture and parquet).
Realization
Designer’s Supervision and completion
Realization stage comes right after its development. I take over the following tasks, so we can realize the project successfully and not waste your time:
- Supervising the realization of the design project on the site
- Consulting the project’s building crew on site
- Adjusting plans in the ongoing project and possible variation for keeping the general idea and esthetics
- Collaborating with similar and contracting organizations on their part of the project’s completion (ventilation, air conditioning, furniture, smart home systems and other facilities) in order to harmonize all the systems and adjust them to the design projects.
- Approving of chosen materials right on the site (colors may reveal themselves differently, depending on the amount of light and lights’ directions)
