Decision Making - Making Confident Design Choices

Imagine standing in a room you're designing. Around you float all the possibilities - colors, textures, fixtures, pieces waiting to find their place. For now, just observe them without feeling the need to choose. Notice how some naturally draw your eye while others fade to the background.

Focus on that first natural pull - that option that keeps catching your attention. Before doubt can creep in, before you start questioning, or judging, just stay with that initial attraction. 

Your instincts responded to it for a reason.  Tune in to what you like, just for it’s own sake.

Now imagine each design choice as a doorway. 

Behind each door lies a different possibility. Which door makes you feel expansive? 

Every great design began with a single decision that felt right.  Usually the right choice is accompanied by a little bit of nerves.  That’s good, that means your pushing your boundaries a little bit.

Picture yourself making choices not from a place of fear - "What if I get this wrong?" - but from a place of creative curiosity - "What if this leads somewhere interesting?" Feel the difference as you shift from fear to exploration.

Every space you've ever loved started with someone making a bold choice. Executing a vision. Someone deciding to listen to their creative instincts.  

Remind yourself that there are so many possible right choices, your job is just to choose the one you think is the strongest and move forward with it.
