THE "MORE FOR LESS" SERIES 2: IDEAS

THE 

"MORE 

FOR LESS" 

SERIES 2: 

IDEAS!!

Hi there, 

Trust this post meets you well and I guess May is turning out great for you.

My first post for the month started out with the introduction of The "More for Less" Series, where I mentioned that I will be segmenting my posts by the nature of needs rather than just generalizing them.

If I were to ask my audience; "what would be the most prevalent need for making the best of your space, besides the need for funds and time?", I can bet the most reoccurring answer would be the need for IDEAS.

An idea is defined as "a concept, thought, or mental image formed in the mind". As simple as this may sound, the stage of ideation is perhaps the most difficult in the entire design process.

From experience I have had folks who gives a designer the liberty to choose on their behalf, only to exclaim "this is not what I wanted!" at the point of delivery 😬. 

So we all have an idea, just that they are mostly complicated. How then should we go about them? 👇


#1: 

INCUBATE

To be honest, some ideas are not for some spaces.

There is really no point forcing your dream space into your current space, and I say this not to undermine the validity of your dreams.

To incubate is to strike a balance between your present realities and your future ambitions, so for instance , while your current space is unable to accommodate large pieces of furniture for banquet dining, how about having a sizeable frame with picture of kings dining in your palace, adorning one of the walls in your current dining.

Here is a thought worth giving a second thought.


#2: 

MOCK 

UP

Like the saying; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Rather than setting all out and getting stuck, you can embrace the idea of mocking up your space to test a concept, visualize ideas, and gather feedback before final execution.

This can be achieved with the use of design software projecting your ideas as close to reality as possible.

Just be sure to engage professionals for a seamless experience.


#3: 

PROTOTYPE 

This is the point you create an early, working model of a space to test a concept, run an idea, and gather feedback before reaching a decision to either reproduce, adjust or discontinue.

This is a concept largely adopted by owners of facilities with multiple spaces serving different purposes.

Points of entry like reception, foyer and the likes are most suitable for prototyping, but it's okay if you choose to go contrary.

In conclusion I would say, don't just let ideas linger in your head, get them up and running by adopting the right approach for execution .

It will be a delight helping you out in the process, as the conversation begins here👇

THE  "SECOND  CHANCE"  SERIES 2: BEAUTIFUL EXCHANGE!!! Hello and Happy Easter Peeps, It's that time of the year when we remember and celebrate Divinity taking a second chance on humanity. Coincidentally, the essence of Easter celebration is in complete sync with The "Second Chance" series, where I seek to help my audience take a second chance on some crucial elements within their spaces. My last post aimed at helping you resolve dysfunctional layout, and I'm quite confident you have gained some insights on different shapes of spaces and how to best utilize them. Now let's have a look at what I love to call the "beautiful exchange", a concept of how you can reuse worn out or 'out of fashion' items in your space, making them more appealing, and having a positive impact on your space. I should mention as I proceed that there are several ideas to achieving beautiful exchanges, however I would categorize them into 3 aspects namely 👇 #1: FAC...

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean 👇   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago 💭🤔 Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) 🙈 Location: College of Technology, Yaba...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 4: THE SEASONS I LOOK  FORWARD TO!!! Hi folks, It's good to be here again, and I guess you are having an awesome time this summer. As a way to bond with you, my exceptional audience, I launched The "About This Time" series, reflecting on cycles of seasons of my life that spans from year 2004 to 2024. I hope it's been worth following. Below are nuggets of insights gained from my previous posts on this series: ✅ Boredom can become the tool with which we TRANSITION into a better version of ourselves, provided we are with the right people in the right environment. ✅ As we go higher in life, chances are high we put on a magnifying lens on our achievements and accolades. There is a call to action for us to look back and appreciate the days of LITTLE BEGINNINGS. Now as I delve into the seasons I look forward to, let's have a look at recent events that serves as indicators to my expectations for the future 👇 #2024: SEASONS ARE IN ...
