Interior Design Proposal Flow

The Interior Design Proposal Flow refers to the structured process that designers (or students) follow to develop and present a design concept from the initial idea through to a final proposal. It shows not only the end product but also the steps and reasoning behind design decisions.

Typical Stages in the Flow

  1. Research & Analysis

    • Understanding the client’s needs, target users, and brand identity.

    • Conducting site analysis, studying spatial requirements, and gathering inspiration.

  2. Concept Development

    • Creating a central theme or narrative (e.g., Dragon Spirit).

    • Establishing design direction with mood boards, sketches, and storytelling.

  3. Space Planning & Zoning

    • Drafting floor plans to define functional zones (living, working, service, etc.).

    • Developing circulation flow to ensure comfort, accessibility, and efficiency.

  4. Material & Finishes Selection

    • Preparing material boards to show flooring, wall finishes, textures, and color palettes.

    • Choosing elements that support both aesthetics and function.

  5. 3D Visualization & Renderings

    • Producing perspectives, digital renderings, or physical models.

    • Communicating how the space will look and feel.

  6. Final Proposal Presentation

    • Compiling drawings, boards, and visuals into a cohesive presentation.

    • Articulating the design rationale, highlighting how the concept translates into space.

The Proposal Flow demonstrates:

  • Design thinking → how ideas evolve step by step.

  • Problem-solving skills → addressing functional, cultural, and aesthetic needs.

  • Professional presentation → the ability to communicate design clearly to clients or juries.

In short, the Interior Design Proposal Flow tells the story of the design process—from concept to completion, showing that the student is not only creative but also systematic in approaching design challenges.
