home theater interior design ideas image
Tony T
I'm a man of many crazy ideas, but this one is something I'd actually like to get done some day. I'm only 18, but perhaps in the far off future, this may be possible, provided that I have the money to do so.
I want to have someone build my dream home, but I don't know where to start!
I don't think I'd have the time to pursue a degree in architectural design, haha. Instead, I may have to look for the specialists that, when pieced together, will help me achieve my dream goal. One of the things my dream home would include would be a theater and game room, complete with acoustics and visual projection accounted for. I'm also fond of minimalistic interior color schemes, like in Mirror's Edge. The exterior would be quite minimalistic as well.
I imagine I would need some electrical engineers, an architect, an interior designer, an audio engineer, a real estate agent, and so on so forth. I'm sure someone would have to be good with Auto CAD as well for the drafting.
Where would I go to look for these people? Some architectural firm? Freelancers? A company that specializes in building custom homes? Where can I go to pitch my ideas, assemble a team, and get it going?
Answer
I would suggest you start by lookingvat lots of floor plans and outside elevations. You can find these in magazines, special edition magazines on news stands that have nothing but house plans. Finally you can find lots of free plans online. These are the two things you will need to start with regardless of how you execute you project.
Depending on the jurisdiction where you plan on building you may need very detailed plans or they may only need to have the basics.
When we built this is what we did. We found a plan and elevation that we liked. We purchased a copy of the architect drawings and then I redrew them changing some room sizes, etc. From those plans we were able to get a contractor to price and build the house.
Many of the details like routing of plumbing, wiring and HVAC can be left to the subcontractors as long as they meet the required codes.
You are no likely to need an electrical engineer but you might need a civil engineer for any special requirements because of soil conditions.
Visiting with a local builder is one good way to see what all you need to do.

Snowy Leo
I am a student in standard 12th and very interested in interior decoration. However people tell me its not a high paying job. Can someone please throw light into a career as an Interior decorator.
Answer
Scope of Interior designing:
Some types of professions in this fields are
Interior Decorators:
Interior decorators consult on the use of color schemes, textures, fabrics and decorative materials, light effects, layout and furniture in creating an attractive and functional interior.This is of B2C in nature. Usually all seasoned decorators have their own set of vendors for materials and equipments, This way it becomes a win win for both parties. The end customer has to deal with a single point of contact and for the interior decorator he can up sell his services with the over riding commission on materials.They also offer professional advice for decoration of homes, business workplaces, restaurants, clubs, bars, conference and convention halls, community centres, shop and emporium window displays, set designs, exhibitions, etc. This is B2B in nature.
Interior Decorators in Media and Event Management:
There are as many as 120 channels on Air in India running 24 hours a day. Most of them have half an hour episodes of series running for years. We have not yet considered the larger picture of Bollywood, Tollywood and all other regional movies, Theatre comes next. All these lines of work constantly demand setups of any amount of situations and the best part of it a background to match the situation. Theatre and set designers work on the conventional stage decor and also for sets of film and TV. Designers work in close coordination with the director's plan for the whole production. In film and TV the main designer is often called the art director who briefs the carpenters, lighting technicians and set dressers and decorators. The number of openings for theatrical designers is very limited. Work is mainly freelance.
Also the saga of big fat Indian Weddings have astronomic, star wars styled sets these days all of these again demand a lot of designing beyond conventional decor.
Exhibitions are a big hit these days. From job fairs to colossal corporate exhibitions the number of these events is fast increasing. Here designing involves planning of entire exhibition sites to designing individual stands. Exhibition or graphic designers prepare display panels. The designers have to give the show an image within the exhibition itself and the publicity material a corporate identity.
Retail Designers / Visual Merchandisers:
Work here ranges from the shop window of a typical shop to a special marketing drive. Brands usually have seasoned collections to display. It is the individual's art that lays out the store in the most customer seductive way possible. When the shop becomes a complete design concept, then the appropriate term for it is retail design.
What does it take to be an interior designer?
Creativity and imagination: There is no replacement to this. It is a very personal business and hence connecting to different genres and different purposes of people needs a constantly thinking mind with a never ending appetite for creative deliveries.
Eye for Detail: Works in two ways: One in implementing plans and two in keeping up to date with changing trends.
Good Estimations: Estimations are very important. They must have numerical to calculate dimensions etc. The ability to draw important sketches "to scale".
Interior designers must be able to think three-dimensionally, visualise their ideas and construct models to demonstrate. Visual sensitivity, colour sense, an idea of lighting and -.. e :oration needs to be developed.
Good Communication Skills: As in any other profession, the language you communicate in could well scale the geography of your business.
How much Money can you make as an Interior Designer?
It depends, to scale it, it is from four digit figures to infinity. As an intern you can barely pay for your travelling but over a period of time your earnings scale radically high depending o your engagement. This field is purely artistic Hence there are no fixed benchmarks in terms of numbers when it comes to the earning part of it. It is in direct relation to your output and very importantly recommendations at times.
Still your career would start at an approximate INR 5000 â INR 8000. Over the years one makes more as work is per project. In addition to professional services Interior designers also make huge margins on the materials they recommend.
