Time flies, and it's already June! As we continue our new home series, I'd like to talk about a personal war of mine: boring interior home designs. Let's fight this war together and transform your home into your dream space. The key is strategy, and in this blog post, I'll show you how to strategize your transformation. So, grab a pen and paper or open up a new document on your computer, and let's get started.

First and foremost, it's essential to set a budget, define a timeline, and choose wisely. You need to know what you can afford, how long the project will take, and make wise choices along the way. You also need to identify your must-haves, your kind of likes, and the things you don't like at all. It's important to write these down so you can refer back to them during the design process to ensure you stay on track. Here is a helpful guide I created to keep you on track!

It takes time to create your vision and an honest realization of what that will cost. Speaking of costs, let's talk about time and money. Sometimes, the time strain of designing your home is too great, especially if you have a family and work on your plate. In that case, hire a designer - like me! Working with a designer can save you thousands of dollars, thanks to our magical powers and deep trade discounts. We can help you bring your vision to life and manage the process from start to finish.

To start with the design process, sketch out roughly how you want your home to look, feel, and the mood you want to create. It's helpful to identify your favorite pieces, must-haves, and special things you want to include. With this vision in place, you can get to work and build the home you've always wanted. This method works for a brand spanking new home or re-imaging an existing space.

Lastly, I want to remind you that designing your dream home can be a fun process. However, it can also be stressful, so it's essential to take breaks and enjoy the journey. Sip on some wine, read a book, or take a walk in nature. Whatever you do, make sure you enjoy the process and have fun along the way. Designing your dream home doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the right strategy, you can transform your home into a beautiful and functional space that you're proud of. Remember to set a budget, define a timeline, choose wisely, and hire a designer if needed. At the end of the day, your home is your sanctuary, and you deserve to love it.

Happy designing, my friends!
