Redesigning Your Rooms

Many times, my clients think that their rooms are missing something or do not feel "right".   Unfortunately, most people think that buying new things will finish off these rooms.  But, rather than spending money on home décor items, save it and, instead, try redesigning your rooms.

Shows, like HGTV's "Decorating Cents", feature the “art” of Interior Redesign, which is changing the way people think about decorating.  This trend is exploding in popularity because this "use-what-you-have" decorating method honors homeowner's furnishings, accessories and artwork and is budget-friendly.

The first step in redesign is to figure out the purpose or function of your room.  Is it a conversation area?  Is it a TV room?  Is it a reading area?  What do you and your family members want to do in that room?  You will need to take into consideration the opinions of everyone that lives in your home.  Make sure you are on the same page or try to be flexible and have your room satisfy more than one purpose (a reading chair in the family room when the TV is not being used).

Once you have discussed the function of the room, you will be ready to go further.  You can use this first step as a "call to action" and, then, after you have worked it out with your family, we'll go on to the next step.
