Saving in design fees to only pay for oversights and uninformed decisions only cost you headaches in the long run.
It’s not your fault. You’re taught you should have it figured out.
HGTV and home network shows have a tendency to make everyone feel like they should be a hero when it comes to renovating and design.
I always say when it comes to expensive decisions that can impact your quality of life and return on investment, it’s always worth consulting an expert.
You wouldn’t watch a season of suits or ER and think you’re a lawyer or doctor so don’t think you should be a design guru after a few DIY shows.
From knowing what rub count your fabric should have on a sofa, spotting the right undertones in your paint colour to proper lighting design and millwork configurations, the details and expertise that go into each element of your home is an art.
A good designer can guide you through a marriott of build, reno, or decor decisions with ease while ensuring perfect cohesion. Allowing you to enjoy the design journey instead of dreading the costly mistakes of oversight.
Trying to be an exceptional interior designer is not a hat you’re expected to wear. We already put enough pressure on ourselves, so if you’re considering some home improvements, my advice is to enjoy the process and hire the right people to ensure you get the outcome your heart desires.
