Come prepared! Here’s how.

When it comes to your initial meeting with our interior designer, a little preparation can go a long way. Before you get together, identify some of your style preferences and set goals regarding the functionality of your living space, your budget and your time frame.

Try doing some research by exploring visual ideas online, in magazines and in books. Tear out and/or copy appealing photos and save them in a file. You can also tour model homes to generate new ideas for designs and color schemes, taking photos along the way.

Other issues to consider:
  • Decide how the living spaces you’re focusing on will be used — and get input from your entire family up front.

  • Prioritize your projects by focusing on the spaces that are most important to you.

  • Do some price shopping in advance (especially for the "big-ticket" items), and have a budget in mind before meeting with the designer.
