Three Reasons to Bring in the Reinforcements
My sister had a serious storage crisis at her house. She called me, and working together, we figured out that she could convert her rarely used guest bedroom into a walk-in closet and fully equipped laundry room. She loves the convenience of her new set-up, and she doesn’t miss the bedroom.
Even experienced professional designers need a second opinion.
How do you know when to get help with your home’s décor?
1. You’re in a time crunch. A lady I know agreed to host a fundraiser in her home, which she’d moved into a mere month prior. She hired a designer to come help her arrange her furnishings and provide input on filling the blanks in her new home.
2. You’re feeling stuck and can’t make decisions. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. I’ve felt that way on my own current interior design project – my new bathroom. Just tile choices alone are mind-boggling!
3. You’re wishing there were an “easy” button. Anyone seen the Staples commercials? Making your home comfortable and attractive shouldn’t be difficult or stressful.
Here’s where to get help:
A professional interior designer, WELL worth the investment for professional, unbiased advice.
Your friends and family…they give free advice and know you well.
The Internet, where there are lots of great sites like ours, HGTV, Martha Stewart, and others that offer DIY tips and inspiring photo galleries.
The public library, where you’ll find a variety of great books that give you ideas for home and garden design.
You tell me:
Where do you turn for advice about decorating?
Have you ever hired a designer? Was it worth the cost?
