During your interior decorating training, you encountered a variety of different tools necessary to do your job. If it\u2019s been a while since you\u2019ve completed Unit A, here is a quick refresher. Keeping up-to-date on the design tools available to you is key. As your number of clients increase, you\u2019ll have to juggle many different projects at the same time. This means using all the resources you have to stay organized!\n\nWhen you properly use each of the tools we\u2019re going to discuss, you\u2019ll run an efficient, stress-free business!

The purpose is to seek out the relationship between the client\u2019s interest and lifestyle and match it to the rooms in their home. You also want to outline what sorts of items they already own. Do they match the room\u2019s primary purpose? You wouldn\u2019t put a loveseat in the kitchen, after all!\n\nIt\u2019s not enough to get the overarching style of the home. Each room has its own purpose (ex. The kitchen is for cooking), but depending on the specific inhabitants who most often use the room, changes must be made. For instance, a nursery would be decorated differently than the master bedroom.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;12683&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Related Articles:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/06\/from-country-to-contemporary-the-wide-variety-of-interior-decorating-styles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From Country to Contemporary: The Wide Variety of Interior Decorating Styles<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/05\/4-best-design-strategies-for-a-functional-kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Best Design Strategies for a Functional Kitchen<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/02\/the-interior-decorators-checklist-why-isnt-this-room-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Interior Decorator\u2019s Checklist: Why Isn\u2019t This Room Working?<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/08\/5-decorating-themes-work-adults-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Decorating Themes That Work For Adults and Kids<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Site_evaluation_form\"><\/span>Site evaluation form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nEvaluate the space you\u2019re working with. In order to make changes and improvements, you need to first understand the space. Besides a quick evaluation of the condition of the rooms, you\u2019ll also need to comment on current and proposed materials. The floor, walls, ceiling, doors, windows, closets\u2014be thorough. Since every room in a house could have its own theme, you\u2019ll need to repeat this step for each room.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Floor_Plans\"><\/span>Floor Plans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYou need to draw your own scaled drawings to plan the space and communicate ideas with other professionals and your client. It\u2019s all about translating the space proportionately onto a sheet of paper. It\u2019s a key part of the decorating process! Since you\u2019re hand-drawing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/03\/interior-decorating-course-preview-introduction-floorplans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">floor plans<\/a>, you need to be super precise with your ruler. You won\u2019t have the advantage of using virtual programs that automatically snap your lines to a grid!\n\nAfter marking down the measurements of the space, you\u2019ll include key architectural features. Following that, you\u2019ll create multiple furniture layout options for your client. You may also wish to add color to your drawings.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presentation_Boards\"><\/span>Presentation Boards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAfter you\u2019ve done all your research and drawn your floor plans, it\u2019s time for you to present them to your clients. Traditionally, decorators used physical presentation boards. Nowadays, you may wish to use Pinterest boards instead\u2014you\u2019ll be able to include materials and furniture from online retailers along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/07\/6-diy-ikea-furniture-hacks-for-an-interior-decorating-job\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DIY projects<\/a>! Whichever type you choose, you should include the same information. You\u2019ll want to have color samples and textile swatches. Examples include window treatments, backsplash tiles, and carpets. After visually seeing everything in one place, your client can properly imagine what their home will look like.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;12685&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excel_Spreadsheets\"><\/span>Excel Spreadsheets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAh, the dreaded spreadsheet. You thought you wouldn\u2019t need it as a decorator, didn\u2019t you? But if you\u2019re taking on large-scale projects for clients who want to stick to their budget, your spreadsheet is your biggest ally! So what should you include? Firstly, your budget estimate should be at the top. When you add in initial estimates, calculate it as a percentage of the overall pie. This way, you can see just how big of a dent your client\u2019s choices are making! Materials, furniture, contractor fees, and your own design fees need a space on the spreadsheet. The best thing about using a spreadsheet application is that you won\u2019t have to do the calculations over and over again. So learn your formulas!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portfolio\"><\/span>Portfolio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIn such a visual profession, you should have a polish professional portfolio to show potential clients. They\u2019ll be able to see for themselves what you\u2019re capable of. Even if you haven\u2019t yet landed your first professional client, all the work that you\u2019ve completed in your training courses can be a great tool to showcase your talent.\n\nOnce you graduate, if you really are looking for ways to beef up your portfolio, you can work for a discounted rate. Since you\u2019re a certified decorating professional, you shouldn\u2019t sell yourself short and give services away for free! Start by decorating your own home. If your own home doesn\u2019t radiate creativity, how will you bring an inspired skillset to your client?\n\nMake sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/08\/taking-good-design-portfolio-pictures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">take plenty of photos<\/a>. Get a good camera. Or, you can hire a photographer to take professional photos for you. They\u2019ll be able to use the best lighting and angles as well as make basic edits to make your work shine.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;12686&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marketing_Tools\"><\/span>Marketing Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nEspecially when you\u2019re just starting out, you\u2019ll need to put in a lot of effort into marketing your services.
