3 Tips on How To Organize Inspiring Images for Design Projects

Potential and current clients often ask Wilson Kelsey Design how to organize their interior design project. The first step to starting your project: Organize the images that inspire you

These top 3 tips for organizing your inspirational design images will:

• Help you clarify your vision
• Allow you to think more carefully about the functional and aesthetic needs and requirements of your home
• Help identify your concerns and fears
• Give a basic understanding of the investment you will be making in your home. Budgeting can then be discussed in the content of what you must have and what might be nice to have
