How to become a brand interior designer, I believe many designers have doubts. What level of design must I achieve to become a well-known interior designer? It's not something that happens overnight or in a year or two. There are many subtleties involved, and we will explore them together.
First point: Virtue comes first
An old saying goes: "Talent without virtue does not go far." If a designer is always thinking about how much money they can make from a project, I think it will be hard for them to do good design. If they cannot do good design, becoming a brand designer is out of the question.
A customer may only renovate their house once every ten years. If we violate basic professional ethics and cannot give the customer a relatively satisfactory result, we will bear the blame for at least ten years. PS: Professional ethics is the soul of every interior designer. Without professional ethics, there is no such thing as design.
How can one build their own brand amidst criticism?
Deep waters can carry large ships. Whether it's wealth or status, great virtue is required to bear them. Why do some people encounter problems when they reach a certain position? Why do some people face issues when they accumulate a certain amount of wealth? The reason lies in their inability to uphold the virtue necessary to support such wealth and high positions.
If we control our greed and desires, our design journey and even our entire life will go better.
Second point: Utilize heaven and earth
The soul of design is creativity. Without good creativity, it will be difficult for us to continue on the path of design.
How to obtain creativity and inspiration? My experience is to seek guidance from nature, history, others, and life. Why can I plan the life you desire? Because I study life every day. That's the key.
All our concepts and wisdom about beauty come from nature and are perceived through life. The benevolence of mountains, the spirit of water, the vastness of grasslands, and the strangeness of caves are all sources of creativity. Many famous designers have traveled around the world. After traveling, their designs reach new heights because the places they visit are filled with natural beauty, history, others' experiences, and life itself.
Third point: Mutual support
To undertake truly large projects, you must learn teamwork. For a single villa, each step requires professionals, and you need to collaborate with at least twenty people. This doesn't even include hotels, museums, and the like.
A good interior design work is a perfect combination of hard装修 design, display art design, lighting design, etc. Therefore, we need to integrate different professions, different people, and different ways of thinking. This is called learning from each other's strengths.
Fourth point: The past as a mirror
When rowing a boat, it moves forward because the oars push backward. Reflection is a very good way of thinking.
Chen Anzhi said: Failure is never the mother of success; review is the mother of success.
Now looking back at works from ten years ago, we realize that we could have done better.
Persisting in our past strengths and not repeating the same mistakes allows us to go further. We should not stumble over the same obstacle. That's the truth.
