Designers, Hit the nail on the head! 3 key factors to fixate in the process of interior design project delivery

In the delivery of contemporary interior design projects, avarietyof factors work together to influence the efficiency, quality, and outcomes of the design process. This study aims to systematically explore these key factors and their impact on the interior design process. Through a combination of literature review and case study methodology, this study identifies and categorizes the key variables that influence the interior design process, including the dynamic changes in client needs at different stages of the project design process, the design team's ability to collaborate, and the project management execution capabilities and technologies. The study found that uncertainty of client needs was the main driver of iterative revisions during the design process; the efficiency of communication within the design team and across disciplines directly impacted the progress of the design phase; and the mastery of professional and managerial skills not only optimized the design expressiveness, but also significantly improved the achievability of the construction phase. In addition, this study suggests that the strategies implemented at different stages of the design process have different impacts on project delivery. Based on the findings, this study proposes an execution phase focus in an improved interior design process, emphasizing the systemic perspective of design management and the importance of stakeholder well-being. This critical factor provides theoretical guidance for future interior design project management practice and strong execution support for successful project delivery.
