executing the client brief

Interior design for apartments can be tricky, especially if it’s a rented place. The designer usually does not have much liberty to change or break too many pieces/walls in the house.

Let’s see how did Emily transform Saloni’s home?

Looking at these before pictures it’s clear that an expert intervention was much needed. Interior design for apartments is best to be done by a qualified, professional designer like Emily from RoomPlays.

The mood board for interior design

Emily had the challenge of creating designated areas in this rented apartment. She had to use the furniture her client already had. Therefore, she created a mood board keeping in mind her clients’ requirements. Her mood board for interior design for apartments in this San Fransisco home had to reflect mid-century accents with minimalism. Emily delivered exactly that.

the transformation

Emily included every request made by Saloni to give her rented apartment a neat, fresh, minimalist look with a glamourous brass accent. Initially, Saloni wanted to rent furniture and had asked for suggestions. As a professional designer, Emily gave her client two options – 1. Furniture on rent to do interior design for apartments. 2. Furniture that they can buy to complete the interior design for apartments.
