I love the enthusiasm people have when they contact me about their
design projects. Designing a room or a house is very exciting process but also time-consuming!
I am
sure you watched at least one episode of HGTV design shows (if not all). HGTV
gives so many ideas! However, they
show rooms being changed very quickly, cutting out the behind the scenes work
and time. The reality of the design process is quite different.
I want
to share few timing tips for you to consider for your next design project so
you can finish the project on desired date. Here you go:
- You'll need to fit into the designer's schedule, which may be backed up couple of weeks
- You need to fit
to the contractors schedule (if you remodeling or renovating) (1 month)
- You'll need time
for planning, shopping for furnishings, accessories, lighting, window
treatments, waiting for samples, changes in planning, shopping again (1
month)
- Once your items
are selected, allow 8 - 12 weeks for upholstered or custom pieces to
arrive
- You'll need to
allow extra time for any delays… and life
The timing might change depending on the
size of the project and your involvement. But no matter whether you are DIY
type or hiring a designer consider these tips in your
upcoming projects.
I hope you find it helpful...
