When should I involve an interior designer in a renovation?
It is best to involve an interior designer while plans are still on paper. By collaborating with your architect or contractor early, a designer ensures the space is both aesthetically pleasing and functional before construction begins.
What are the most common DIY design mistakes?
The two most frequent mistakes are:
Incorrect Scale: Buying furniture that is too large or small for the room's dimensions.
Time Loss: Spending excessive hours researching endless options without a cohesive plan.
Does hiring an interior designer save money?
Yes. While there is an upfront cost, a designer provides long-term savings by:
Preventing Errors: Avoiding "costly mistakes" like ill-fitting furniture or unrealistic project goals.
