Top 5 Things You Should Do Before Hiring a Designer 1. Create a Budget The important thing here is to be 100% honest and realistic about your budget. You may not know the average cost of a kitchen renovation, for example. The truth is, there isnt really an average it all depends on the many different decisions you make along the way. Let the designer help guide you realistically based on the kinds of things you want. 2. Address Your Lifestyle In order to get the best results out of your renovation, your interior designer will need to know how you and the rest of your family use your spaces. Where do you spend most of your time with guests? What is and isnt working for you in the home? These questions will help guide your project in the right direction. 3. Create an Idea Folder Use an Idea Folder to gather all your thoughts, ideas, and desires for your project. This will greatly help your designer have a solid vision of what you like and want your space to envision. Pinterest and Houzz are great websites to gather inspiration and help you best convey your desires visually to your designer. 4. Build Personal Rapport - Personality will have a lot to do with how well your design project goes. Lets face it. Some personalities clash. Its much better to have a good rapport with your designer when dealing with such a personal thing as your home. In the end, it will go a long way towards making your project a little less stressful and maybe, just maybe, enjoyable. 5. Prepare to Trust - A designer brings knowledge and experience to the job. Trust the designer for the professional they are and youre project will give you greater results than you could have imagined. Its their job to narrow down selections for you based upon your budget, your needs and your likes. Trust that the designer has the entire vision in mind when pulling everything together. Ride it out with them and youll love the finished space.
