Bring in a Design Professional ASAP
Just moved into a new home? Looking to revamp an already beloved space? Confused or overwhelmed by new architectural plans? Whatever it is, design professionals are here to help!
While all very exciting, change can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Especially a new build. You have your architects who focus is not on interior design but rather on the structure and meeting building code requirements, while having a professional designer by your side early on to review the plans who is proactive when considering furniture layout that meets your needs.
Something as simple as window placement and how that affects the rest of your space or finding the perfect lighting fixture placement so it does not interfere with a cabinet door or even to make sure that moldings will not interfere with outlet switches. You shouldn’t have to worry about these small (but very important) details!
We understand that our clients live busy and fulfilled lives outside of their home renovation projects so with us, you’ll be ensured that everything stays on track and moving along without delays. You’ll not only save time but feel more confident than ever in certain design choices.
When unknowns come up in renovation, as they always do, the designer will work alongside the contractor to find solutions that keep the integrity of the design top of mind, without involving you directly. For example, when the design plan calls for a recessed flushed mirrored medicine cabinet and sheetrock comes down to reveal that there is a heating duct right where the mirrors should be that prevents them from being recessed. Most contractors would just suggest not having them be recessed, but the designer would opt to build out the wall so that your design plan stays true.
With estimates, or putting your project out for bid, you must be thoughtful in your planning to the most accurate numbers possible. With a more detailed plan and a better understanding of your needs and goals for the project, it will then help your contractor understand exactly what is needed to get the truest price and not just the lowest initial bid. You will then have more accurate estimates to compare. We can even help with this if we are there from the very start!
And yes, even with the best contractor, you need a designer to explain the little things that go beyond the structure. Don’t you want to know the pros and cons of a rain shower or the height of the sconce in the bathroom to be sure that you don’t have shadows while getting ready in the morning?
