How does IDbyZM find inspiration for a project?
Can I be honest? I could say some poetic words like it’s the textures and tones from nature but realistically…
For me, inspiration usually starts with a combination of things: first and foremost, YOU. What is YOUR story, your goals, your personal style and family dynamic and how you actually live your life. Then, usually the architecture of the home to start with.
And let’s be real — budget plays a big part too. Sometimes that means we have to prioritize what matters most and decide where the investment will make the biggest impact.
Maybe it’s the functionality of the layout.
Maybe it’s a large floor-to-ceiling fireplace that’s also structural — it can’t be moved, so it becomes the focal point with beautiful new finishes.
Or maybe it’s about the geography — designing a mid-century modern home in the mountains feels completely different than one near the coast.
That mix of structure, story, and lifestyle is what keeps design endlessly inspiring. Let’s get all of your ideas out of your head, onto paper and prioritize to make reality. Let’s make some magic together 👊🏼
