Custom Home Interior Design: Details That Make It Yours, with Jeni Robison
From The Calvis Wyant Podcast · 00:53:29
Show by Calvis Wyant Luxury Homes
Before choosing tile, countertops or cabinet finishes, take a closer look at how your home needs to work. The placement of a refrigerator, the size of a sectional and the storage inside a kitchen drawer can all shape the design long before construction begins.Tony Calvis, Jr. sits down with Jeni Robison of Dettaglio Interior Design in Scottsdale to talk through the decisions behind a personal, well-considered custom home. Jeni explains why her process starts with a plan assessment and furniture layouts, then moves into design discovery, elevations and material selections.For homeowners who have plenty of ideas but are unsure how to bring them together, Jeni shares how she learns from daily routines and reactions to concept images. Cooking habits, the way a closet is used and the amount of maintenance someone wants to take on help guide the details. You do not need to arrive with every design decision made.The conversation also follows the order of selections in Jeni's practice, including how tile choices can inform cabinetry, countertops and lighting. She discusses adjusting the number of options to each client, recognizing decision fatigue and leaving time to review what has been selected.Detailed drawings and specifications carry those decisions into the build. Jeni describes the binder her team prepares, the questions they try to answer early and the importance of working with the architect and builder when a field condition calls for a solution. She also shares her approach to using trends selectively and keeping a home's design connected to the people who live there.If you are planning a custom home or major renovation in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley or the Phoenix area, this conversation offers useful questions for your first design meetings: how involved you want to be, how your budget will guide selections and whether a designer's process and personality fit your project.Visit Dettaglio Interior Design at https://dettagliodesign.com.Connect with Tony Calvis, Jr. at https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycalvisjr.The Calvis Wyant Podcast is presented by Calvis Wyant.
