This step is the most crucial part of the design process. Figure out what that space is going to represent. Is it going to be a family room? Or a dining room? Or a gym.

Focus on collecting as many references as you can so that you would have a clear picture of how your vision is going to render into real life.

Attempt to stay away from overcrowding the room with random decor. Also, keep in mind to find the right decor for your space by having the size of the room in mind.
Step 4: Create a consistent look.
When you are designing a space consistency is vital, as the home should feel connected and continuous. To stick to being consistent, the house should have the right color palette. Be it neutrals, bright, or dark, always stick with the same color palette for the entire home. Same goes for the rest of the design elements from flooring, to decor and everything in between.

Step 6: Create a working mood board
Your blueprint can act as a guide, but a working mood board can help you visualize your finished product. You can add those furnishings you liked, add the flower vase you found on Pinterest, and so on. Do not like something, you can remove it. It is that simple!
Step 7: Purchase the right decor.
Once you have the plan, and a working mood board, it is time for shopping. Look around your local supply stores, find interior decors to your liking. Do not stick to one store find multiple stores and make a list of stores that has your desired element. Shortlist the pieces you like!
