How to Make An Interior Design Project Less Stressful
While redecorating their House might not be on anyone’s list of the most stressful things in life, that doesn’t mean it can’t be agonizing. Even if you don’t have a partner, whose design sense seems to be completely opposite to yours, just deciding for yourself, about so many different things, in the face of so many different options, can cause no end of second guessing.
1. Determine Your Direction
This is way easier said than done because it’s the root of the problem. So you need to get ruthless, or at least more methodical. Instead of falling in love with every interior design image you see on Pinterest, start looking for things you don’t like about each image. The idea is that those designs with which you can find the least fault will be closer to those you can live with the most.
2. Break it Down
If you have the budget to completely redecorate your home or room all in one go, then you’re off to the races. But for many homeowners, their vision might not match their pocket book. If you’re looking for ways to break down the project in stages, plan for the most expensive elements, like a furniture suite, first so that the room will look as close as possible to the final design, even while it’s not there yet.
3. Get Help
We don’t mean for the stress you’re going through, but it doesn’t hurt to get advice and/or opinions about your décor. While it might not be appropriate to burden everyone with your design problems, there’s nothing wrong with asking family, friends and neighbours for their opinion. Just be sure to keep an open mind because you might not be prepared for what they have to say.
And if you want to take it a step further, it doesn’t cost as much as you think to get the help of professional designers who can give you the guidance you’re looking for or offer complete solutions for your interior decorating.
