We’re thrilled to bring you along on our latest bathroom renovation journey. At Fernanda Cunha Interiors, we believe that every project tells a unique story, and this one is no exception. From the initial concept discussions to the final reveal, we’ll be sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes looks and expert tips throughout the entire process.
Every successful renovation begins with a deep understanding of the client’s needs and desires. For this project, our clients wanted a bathroom that was not only functional but also a serene retreat from their busy lives. They envisioned a space with clean lines, modern fixtures, and a calming color palette.
For new clients, our process involves an in-depth discovery phase where we delve into their personality, tastes, and wishes, as well as their dreams, goals, and budget. This comprehensive analysis allows us to start visualizing the future space through their eyes, ensuring that every design element aligns with their unique vision and lifestyle. We take the time to understand what they truly mean when they describe what they like, bridging the gap between their words and our creative interpretation.
For clients we’ve worked with before, we leverage our existing knowledge of their preferences and lifestyle, allowing us to build upon the relationship and insights we’ve already established. This familiarity enhances our ability to create spaces that resonate deeply with their evolving tastes and needs.
Through this thorough and personalized approach, we aim to capture the essence of our clients’ desires, creating a bathroom that not only meets their functional requirements but also serves as a tranquil haven tailored to their individual style and aspirations. This meticulous understanding is the cornerstone of our design process, enabling us to transform their vision into a beautifully crafted reality.
Our design process is thorough and collaborative, ensuring that every detail is carefully considered and tailored to our clients’ unique preferences and needs. We start with brainstorming sessions and concept development, where we explore various styles and ideas. This phase includes several critical steps:
Meeting with clients to discuss their vision and requirements is the foundation of our design process. These consultations involve a series of in-depth questions and analyses, adopting an almost psychological approach to understand their preferences deeply. We delve into aspects such as:
Creating visual representations of the proposed design concepts helps clients visualize the direction we are heading. Mood boards include color palettes, fabric swatches, and images that capture the overall aesthetic of the design. Additionally, they feature detailed floor plans, samples for every single item and finish of each product to be used, and photos to provide a comprehensive view of the design. These elements ensure that clients can clearly see and understand how all aspects of the design will come together in their space.
Developing detailed drawings and 3D renderings allows clients to see a realistic portrayal of the final space. This step is crucial for ensuring that our vision aligns with their expectations and provides an opportunity for any adjustments before moving forward. These renderings offer a realistic view of the interior space and serve as the foundation for all future technical drawings, including elevations, electrical plans, and plumbing layouts. They provide detailed and precise information that is essential for the trades, ensuring that the execution is as designed and planned.
We’re excited to share that we’ve completed the demolition phase and are actively working through the different stages of construction and bringing the vision to life.
Throughout this series, we will be providing regular updates on our progress and go into detail into post design presentation, approvals and procurement phase.
