Think it through
Design clients do not always know exactly what they want, but it helps to have inspiration photos or other ways to set expectations and help your designer understand your sense of style.
Patience is key
In today’s rapidly changing market, vendors have reduced their product lines due to capacity issues. A clear plan is important, but so is patience and flexibility.
Expect the unexpected
Even if you are the first and only owner of the property, you never know what surprises will crop up during the project.
Keep stakeholders in mind
A home should work for everyone who lives there and is financially and emotionally invested in it. That increasingly includes grandparents and other extended family.
Make it work for you
Many are prioritizing functionality and durability in their homes, but they are also experimenting with color and pattern to incorporate a greater sense of brightness and positivity.
