Interior Design on a Budget, You Can Afford It!
Posted by Tre Pryor, Editor-in-Chief on May 05, 2010 in Home Improvement tagged with J. Renee Designs, Jessica Schuler
There are many myths surrounding the interior design profession that we are always happy to debunk. One of those myths is that the average person cannot afford an interior designer. Here are the reasons why this isn’t true and how a designer can actually save you money.
Designers Can Work on One Room at a Time
Now more than ever, good interior designers recognize the fact that the average client may want to complete the design of their home in small stages. Most are willing to assist you on a more financially manageable scale. Spreading out projects over time allows you to keep your finances on track while making small improvements along the way. If there isn’t any room in the budget to make purchases at the time of the visit, the designer can put together a list detailing what you will need in the future to complete your home transformation.
Designers Can and Should Work with What You Already Have
Many people do not realize that you can keep the furniture and accessories you already have and still make a dramatic change within your home. Repairing, re-painting, and re-arranging furnishings can make a huge improvement in your home’s style and finding an interior designer who will do this can save you big bucks. This increasingly popular method is called re-design and finding a firm that offers this will help to keep your home’s makeover incredibly budget friendly.
Designers Can Actually Save You Money
We as designers hear this all the time: “I bought this (fill in the blank) but I haven’t really found a place to use it” or “I painted the walls twice already and I still think that this yellow is too bright.” Hire a designer that can help you to define your design concept and coordinate all of your purchases to the design concept. This eliminates unnecessary buying. When it comes to painting or any form of remodeling, having a designer on board from the start of the project will allow you to get it right the first time which saves you time and money.
