How to Enhance Your Creativity as an Interior Designer

Do you ever feel like you lose your creative drive when you're in the middle of a busy week? We've all been there. Today on the blog, we're sharing tips to enhance your creativity as an interior designer. 

Visit somewhere new

Sometimes, it’s all about perspective. Whether you're looking for a distraction-free space, or simply looking for inspiration for your next project, changing your physical location can be the key to getting in the zone.

Visit a local coffee shop where the decor gives you plenty of ideas, or try a new spot to work for a while and draw inspiration. Forget your to-do list completely and head to a museum or historical building. 

Go on vacation simply for enjoyment (and not just for work). New cultures, music, and architecture can help boost creativity and let your imagination take flight. You’ll return feeling ready to dive into the projects that require your most unique ideas. 

Spend time outdoors

It’s no secret that nature can boost your creativity. The ever-changing landscape of a sunrise or sunset can be the perfect muse for a new color palette. Visit a local park or simply walk outdoors near your home. Bring a camera with you and take photos of the scenes that speak to you. Reference these photos later when you’re in the middle of a big design. 

Collaborate with others

Do you have a friend that you love to bounce ideas off of? Give them a call! Sometimes just talking with someone else can be instrumental in boosting your creativity and giving yourself a confidence boost for an awesome idea. 

Each individual’s unique experiences allow them to have a different perspective, which can help validate and spark new ideas. Grab a drink at happy hour with a friend or go for a walk to not only stimulate conversation, but to also draw inspiration from nature. 

What inspires you? We’d love to hear from you.
