As designers, finding inspiration is an essential part of the creative process. One platform that we use to discover ideas and collaborate with our clients is Pinterest. With its vast collection of images and curated boards, Pinterest is our go-to source for design inspiration. Read on to discover how we effectively use this platform to gather ideas, why it is crucial to infuse personal touches into designs, and how using inspiration images with clients during the Conceptual Phase of our process can help establish a more successful end result.
Pinterest acts as a digital mood board for us. By exploring various design styles, color palettes, textures, and patterns, we can discover fresh ideas that spark our creativity. Our clients can create boards dedicated to specific rooms within their project or an overall aesthetic, saving images that capture their attention. This curated collection becomes a wellspring of inspiration during the design process.
While Pinterest is a fantastic tool for collecting inspiration, it is equally important for us to deep dive into the specifics of WHY our client saved each image. We all see the world differently so we might see a copper faucet while they see a white sink in the same image. We spend a lot of time in the Conceptual Phase to ensure we are meeting each client's unique tastes, preferences, and lifestyle. Utilizing Pinterest during this phase allows us to demonstrate our ability to understand and interpret our client's style. It helps bridge the gap between verbal explanations and visual representations. This collaborative approach fosters a stronger designer-client relationship built on trust that we understand your vision and shared enthusiasm for the project.
However, with all that said, the true art lies in the ability to integrate these inspirational ideas into unique and personalized spaces for our clients. By leveraging the power of Pinterest and infusing our own design-creativity, we can create stunning interiors that not only meet our client's expectations but exceed them.
