Okay, so youve decided on a budget for your home dcor project and youve decluttered the junk. Now you can see what you have to work with, its time to decide if youre looking for a do it yourself specialist or go big and hire a pro.
In part one of this article series, we talked about setting your budget. What you came up with is now going to have a significant effect on how you answer the next question.
Is it going to be Pro or a Joe for your interior reno?
Either way, a solid can be made for the path you choose. Unless, youre fastidious, keep in mind however that the end result often shows when a pro is involved.
While you may get close to a professional look on your own it will take you longer and may, in the end, cost you more than having a professional help you out.
Interior Designers are different from Interior Decorators. A Designer will work with you on the overall layout and design of your home. From the layout of your bathroom to the placement of interior walls, a Designer has the knowledge of structure and construction necessary to determine how you home is laid out.
A good designer will do your color scheme, your flooring and window coverings. They often charge far more than a decorator but theyre the real deal.
An experienced designer will prove their worth if youre planning a major project such as redesigning your master bathroom. They under construction requirement such as local building codes and most will have connections to solid tradesman who can do the work for you.
On the other hand, if youre not planning structural changes but, what you require is someone with an eye for color and design elements then an interior decorator is just what you need.
Decorators generally will not be the ones to recommend changes in structure to your home. These guys are experts are trained to tell what colors and accessories are the best choice for your home.
Another point about hiring a pro is that they often get good discounts on home dcor items, furniture, window treatments, flooring etc. Im just sayin, hiring a pro might save you money in the long run.
If your decision is to forgo the pros and do it all yourself you should still come up with a good plan. There are ways to do it even if interior design is not your cup of tea.
Doing your research before you pick up a paintbrush is well advised. I once painted my bedroom a fetching shade of what came to be known as "baby poop green." Not exactly the mood setter I was hoping for in the bedroom.
Pick up as many home dcor magazines as you can carry and sit with scissors, clipping rooms that strike your fancy. Once you have a ton of rooms to look at start to edit through them to find a consistent look for your new dcor.
Consistency is important. As any Decorator or Designer will tell you, pick a theme, or two, and stick with it throughout the entire house. Crazy colors are great, as long as you carry it through. (unless youre planning to sell, then maybe neutrals would be a smarter choice. - 30435
