Interior design portfolio
An interior design portfolio is a collection of visual representations that showcase past and current interior design projects, similar to a resume. An outstanding portfolio showcases why an individual should be selected to join a team of designers or hired by a company. An interior design portfolio highlights an interior designer’s personality and planning abilities. A portfolio usually showcases an individual’s style, fashion sense, and creative processes through imagery rather than words, as it contains more pictures than text.
Important steps to make an interior design portfolio
Whether you want to work for an established firm or go it alone, you must show that you are a skilled and competent professional who can be relied on to produce quality work.
Craft an attractive introduction
It is critical to include an introduction in your portfolio. It aims to give readers a clear understanding of who you are and what you hope to achieve in your career. Consider writing a brief biography highlighting your educational background, design philosophy, and exceptional interior design skills. This introduction will establish the tone for the rest of your portfolio.
Select and add design samples
Next, choose a variety of samples that demonstrate your best qualities and abilities as an interior designer. The setup of the samples can be something other than client projects, as you can include renderings, drawings, color swatches, and other exciting content. What is crucial is that the samples you choose represent the business image and design style you want to convey to forecasts.
Organize your design samples
One of the most thought-provoking facets of making a creative portfolio is unifying your work correctly. Creating your book apparent and scannable will help readers navigate your portfolio and discover what’s closest to their interests.
Update your portfolio
As an interior designer, you are continuously embryonic; let your interior design portfolio replicate that! Add new projects as they are completed. And get rid of any older ones that have become out of date. It’s also critical to keep your portfolio current with industry trends.
When Pantone announced Ultraviolet as its color for this year, the industry had a fair idea what to expect in the interior design trends in 2018. The style statements in design are extended to all related fields such as fashion design and product design. The year 2018 has witnessed interesting symphonies of unsuspecting elements to add the spark in interiors and the results have been pretty impressive. Here is what you will come across in social media this year!
Hectic schedules have deprived people of soothing moments in their daily lives. This has led to a desire of subtle decoration of master bedrooms. Minimalism rules when it comes to decorating bedrooms this year. Neutral shades and calmer tones help in soothing down the occupant and minimalism ensures a cluster free environment for a peaceful sleep.
The stainless steel and wooden tone cabinets have started giving way to their slightly colorful counterparts. Of course, a white kitchen is classic but people now want their kitchens to be livelier and more in sync with their individual choices.
The use of wood in flooring and furniture can never be replaced. What this year brings to it is change of preferences. Instead of plain strip locks, herringbone patterns have emerged to be a common wooden feature. The warmth and elegance of wooden shades have been extensively used in imparting a rich interior look.
A bathroom these days is a get-away sanctuary- spa-like features add element of luxury and comfort where in a person can relax and seek serene surroundings. Organic touch ups in the form of wooden elements and natural stones along with a sprinkle of greenery here and there, takes bathrooms a few notches up.
Limited textures are trending. What could be more appealing than a touch of nature? Popular fashion and fabric patterns denote a constant presence of floral imprints, mimicking the 70’s. The difference here is the limited use in the interiors, such as in wallpapers and bed linens. The use is restrained and yet experimental.
While 2017 did see some statement colors making rounds in premium interiors, 2018 is more about popping colors and it gets only bolder- it happily accommodates gold and metallic hues. This does increase the work of an interior designer since it calls for clever combinations that stay easy on the eyes and continue to delight the occupant.
This year the focus is on vintage pieces- of lighting, furniture, curios, accessories and even flower pots. Yes, you heard that right. This is THE year when you should not hesitate to splurge a handsome amount on that antique furniture you have been longing for since eternity! These elements add a defining value to an interior and end up outlining the style quotient of the spaces they occupy.
Each year ushers in a new dawn of fashion and design specifications. It is important to understand that these ‘rules’ are a simple description of what’s hot and happening in interior design arena, specially defined for trend-seekers. However, the ultimate value of an interior is in the way it reflects the aesthetic tastes of the owner, some of whom eventually become trend-setters.
