Design, the Process and the Management

Finding Inspiration for Unconfident DIY Designers

Are someone who doesn't consider themselves 'arty' or 'creative', and finds themselves at a loss when asked 'what inspires you?' When you start planning an interior design project you need to start with inspiration, and trust me - you have as much inspiration for creativity in you as anyone else. It's just that you haven't been practicing recently and your creative muscles are probably a little flabby. Being inspired takes practice and the ability to look in the right places.

The right place to start looking is actually in the mirror. After all, how can you be happy if you don't know what makes you happy? How can you be stylish if you don't know what style you like? Marcus Aurelius said "Look within. Within is the fountain of good and it will bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig." I think he has a good point.

Four Sources of Inspiration for Your Interior Design Project

If you are at a loss with where to start with your interior design project, a little research can work wonders. If the interior magazines and homeware catalogues aren't getting you anywhere, leave the house and start looking elsewhere.

1. Nature

The great outdoors is a clear source of inspiration for many product designers. The swirl of a shell, the leaves of a plant, the aerodynamics of a bird, all contribute to our technology and our design landscape. When perfection is at your disposal why not learn from it? The essence of beauty comes from our appreciation of nature so why not use it as a starting point for our ideas? Take a camera with you and get some pictures of the different textures you come across, the types of wood you like and the colour palettes which naturally work so well together.

Finding Time and Space to Discover Your Interior Design Style


Journalists talk about people who have innate style, a timeless style or a natural style. They imply that style is something that is inherited and handed to you on a silver platter. But I disagree. It's true that style will come more easily to those who have been surrounded by it forever, or have discussed it considerably or been interested in it since birth. But I think anyone can discover their own style with a little time and space.
