Before You Design

Before You Design is a practical guide created to help you avoid the costly mistakes most people make when starting an interior design project.

Too often, people rush into designing their spaces without proper planning, the right knowledge, or the right professionals—and end up spending more fixing errors than they would have spent doing it right the first time.

This book walks you through the essential principles of space planning, lighting, budgeting, and decision-making, giving you a clear roadmap before you begin. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or aspiring designer, this guide will help you create functional, lasting, and well-executed spaces with confidence.
