When it comes to interior design, most people think about aesthetics rather than function. Reena Venkatesh, principal designer of Seasonal Leaf Designs, provides clients with design services with impeccable planning. She's a self-professed space consultant, a title that helps distinguish her company's focus of innovative spacial layout to ensure decorating success.
Reena is quick to point out that the key to a winning transformation is a balance of aesthetics and efficiency, or in design terms, it's the form-follows-function principle. There is no logical way to design a space until you determine what the primary function of that space will be. It's about making a room really work for you.
"My clients often want to skip the planning stage and go directly to how it's going to look," she shares. "Planning the space is the most important aspect because it's all about how you live. Without a proper space plan you can't move forward; it might be pretty, but without serving a purpose, it's just not functional."
