Job Post Template Title: Interior Designer / Space Planner Needed for Large Open-Plan Living & Dining Space Project Summary: We recently moved into a new apartment with a spacious, open-concept floor plan that integrates two living areas, a dining room, and an adjoining large balcony into one continuous space. We have key existing furniture pieces that we love and want to keep, but we need a professional interior designer to help us lay out the space, integrate a second living setup, and design a cohesive overall aesthetic. Key Scope & Objectives: * Space Planning & Circulation: Optimize the layout and traffic flow between the two living zones, dining area, and balcony transition so the large space feels structured, balanced, and welcoming—not vast or empty. * Furniture Integration & Sourcing: Work with our existing furniture pieces and design a plan for the new furniture needed. Once we agree on models, dimensions, and colors, we will proceed with purchasing the new items. * Aesthetic & Color Palette: Establish a unified design theme, color scheme, and material story across all zones so the entire open area feels harmonious. * Lighting Concept: Design an intentional lighting plan (ambient, task, and accent lighting) to define different zones and elevate the atmosphere. * Balcony Transition: Ensure a seamless visual and functional connection between the indoor living/dining areas and the large terrace/balcony. Deliverables Required: * Scaled 2D floor plan with furniture layouts, dimensioning, and circulation paths. * Conceptual mood boards (colors, textures, lighting, and style direction). * 3D visual renders of the proposed space and new furniture selections. Requirements for Applicants: * Must be a professional interior designer or interior architect with a strong portfolio in residential space planning and open-concept design. * Must provide source working files or technical 2D/3D layouts (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit, etc.). * Note: Please do not submit portfolios containing only AI-generated conceptual images. We require verified, real-world past work. To Apply: Please share your portfolio showing similar open-plan residential projects, your estimated timeline, and your proposed approach or hourly/fixed rate for this phase.
