WAYS A DESIGNER
CAN HELP
DURING A RENO
DESIGNERS CAN BRING CREATIVE IDEAS
TO THE ENTIRE PROJECT. For instance,
many home renovations include more than one
bathroom to overhaul and as a designer I can
suggest the same tile for a couple of bathrooms
to save on cost. I then have them installed
in a different pattern for each bathroom to
create two different looks. Same thing goes for
hardware, faucets, vanities, lighting etc.
TOO MANY CHOICES! Most people find it
difficult and overwhelming to select backsplash
tile for their kitchen. There are hundreds of tiles
to select from and many ways to install them. In
an average reno project, you may have to select
between fifty to one hundred products and this
process can be time consuming. Designers take
that off your plate and select everything for your
home and bring it right to you.
DESIGNERS HAVE A WEALTH OF
PRODUCTS AVAILABLE TO THEM They
also have resources that the general public may
not have access to. They work in the world of
renovation and building on a daily basis and can
foresee costly mistakes. They help you select the
right product for each application and look for
ways to stretch your budget.
STRESS DOING A RENOVATION, AS A
COUPLE OR ON YOUR OWN Let’s face it, it’s
a big deal to renovate your home. I have seen
homeowners double the size of their home and
the everyday stress of a renovation can take a
toll if you don’t have a designer helping to ease
the burden. Having a designer give you advice
on where to spend and save money will make
the process easier. Some couples also find it very
difficult to agree on products and design choices
and an unbiased opinion can help offer a fresh
perspective. - Jacklynn Little, www.jacklynnlittleinteriors.com
