✅1. Laptop | • The Best Laptop for in...
I have a whole separate video reviewing this laptop!
✅2. Silent Mouse | amzn.to/3ouaXta
(not really essential, haha but it's a must for me!)
✅3. Graph Notebook | bought this at my local Meijers
very useful to have when I am writing down measurements
✅4. Little black notebook | bought this at my local Meijers
I like to keep my dimensions and notes separate so I write down all my client notes here
✅5. Different Color Sharpie Markers | amzn.to/3lYvNPZ
since I am always measuring, it really helps to have the dimensions in different colors so the floor plan is easier to read
✅6. Laser Measure | amzn.to/39QNPkz
talk about a time-saving tool here! Super easy to use and has precise measurements. A MUST to have
✅7. Tape Measure
a very basic and essential tool to have!
✅8. Paint Deck/Samples | Go to your local paint store to get one
very very useful to have in hand. Looking at paint online vs in person can be so different. It's nice to reference and see the paint in natural light!
✅9. Tracing Paper & Drafting Dots | amzn.to/2VPQKlo
amzn.to/3qGR7Nc
I am constantly using these two items when I am space planing or when I am in the conceptual phase. You can also buy these at your local Blicks Art store.
✅10. Scale Ruler | amzn.to/2K80kxh
another tool I can't be without! Sometimes we have to work with architectural blueprints and most of the time they don't show every dimension so that's when the scale ruler comes in handy!
✅11. Interior Design Books
I bought these books back when I was in college and they're still useful to me to this day!
Interior Graphic Standards - amzn.to/3mZcrLV
- this goes over construction materials, methods, structures, and more!
Human Dimension - amzn.to/2K8gjvC n
- great reference book when you need to know how high fixtures should be, dimension codes, commercial, etc.
✅Backpack
amzn.to/3mYrSUB
