Step Seven: The Installation
- The bones of your project should now be completed: the floors, walls, ceilings, cabinetry and any other building work. This day is for furnishing, styling and adding finishing touches before handing it over to the client.
- Before installation day, you will need a place where you can store everything – research local secure warehouses or storage spaces. You will also need trusted couriers to pick everything up from storage and deliver it to the house on installation day.
- Start by rolling out the rug, then hang the curtains, and then start to bring in the biggest furniture pieces first. After these are all in and assembled, you can move the smaller items in. Finally, the artwork is hung and the decorative accessories positioned.

The best adventure. I like all the courses, but my favorite are both Rita Konig interior design courses and Anna Jones. Excellent!
