Sketch design

Now you have finally reached the point where you can start drafting the initial design drawings of your home. This stage is really exciting. Remember all the information you have gathered so far about what your new home will need. Keep drawing on this information as you sketch your design.

At the sketch design phase is very important to draw to scale. Drawing at a scale of 1:100 (1cm = 1 meter) is the usual practice because it is big enough to understand, small enough to fit on an A3 drawing board and you can use a regular rule.

The initial design should be a combination of building sections, plans, elevations and form drawings or whatever best explains the design and how it works. The plans should be easy to understand and will be the starting point from where the initial design drawings are created before they become the "developed design drawings". Remember to ask for feedback from family and friends, another point of view is essential to ensure you have researched and implement the Client Brief within the design drawings.

In turning the Design Diagram into a Sketch Design, one of the main tasks is to think about the functions of each area and providing spaces which can accommodate them. Depending on the spaces of the building, you may need to analyze some areas individually and in-depth. A great idea to is looking pictures or actual spaces that you love. Write a listing of all the things you like about these spaces and ensure that these things are incorporated back into the design.

For example Furniture or equipment layouts for a home office in order to discover room shapes, door, and window positions, and other features which will ensure spaces are designed well and for their intended purpose.

Accessorize with Color

Make a room lively with colorful accents. A set of fun red pendant lights inspired the color scheme for this cozy eat-in kitchen. When you accessorize with color in a home design, it’s all about proportion. Select one color to create the main color theme. Then add pattern and accent colors in smaller doses. In this design the color theme is red and the accent is the striped fabric on the bench.

Accent with Wallpaper

Wallpaper is a fantastic way to add interest in a room. However, you want to be careful how you do it – too much pattern or color can be distracting. For bold patterns, consider adding it to just one wall to energize your room without overwhelming it. In this room, we used a blue damask pattern and a matching dark wall color to tie it all together.
