How to Discover Your Own Design Aesthetic - Video
How to discover your own
Design Aesthetic
In the interior design industry too many people are forced to comply with existing design styles and the design aesthetics of the designers that they hire! I find this tragic because I believe in the sovereignty of the individual and I know deep in my soul that every single person has a beautiful creative voice. Everyone deserves to explore this creative voice in their own life through their environment. Don’t allow yourself to be sucked into the narrative that you need to sell your soul to these interior designers own aesthetics, or the popular culture of what is “correct” in design, or allow the people selling furniture to tell you what you “need” in your own environment! Only you know the answers to these questions in regards to your own environment. I want to empower my clients and anyone who watches this video to take their own creative power back. A true creative individual lies within you!
I’ve written out this design aesthetic discovery process below:
Process of How to Find Your Design Aesthetic:
#1 get a piece of paper, or a notebook if you are long winded like me! Make a yes and a no column...
#2 Gather Inspiration.
-design magazines
-photos of rooms (both that you love, and hate)
-places that you love
-your social media feeds
-photo albums
-camera rolls
Also think about...
-the things you love
-the activities that you love
-your sense of fashion
-your morals and values
-your art sense
**anything and everything you are inspired by that I have missed here!**
#3 Save these images, collect them, cut them out, save them on your desktop or anywhere in yes and no piles.
#4 NOW REACT! How do these spaces, images and things make you feel? record what you are reacting to and write these things down. Good feelings into the yes column, bad in the no column. Amazing feelings at the top of your
yes column.
#5 Think about why you feel these feelings specifically!
#6 Keep doing this for every image and activity that speaks to you!
#7 Now you have your own rules Darling, written from your soul directly!
#8 Design your space empowered by your own design aesthetic!
“It’s all connected. Your gifts, your circumstances, your purpose, your imperfections; your journey, your destiny. It’s molding you, embrace it.”
