Interior Design

Since I normally blog about home staging,  I thought it would be nice to do a post about another side of my business: interior design. For those who don’t work in the field, staging and interior decorating can seem very similar. The fundamental difference between the two has to do with function. The main goal of interior design is to create a functional living space that not only fulfills the daily needs of those that live there, but creates a space that is visually pleasing to the client and reflects their personal style and preferences.  The main goal of staging is to sell.

With interior decorating you have to get to know the home owners style. You get to  guide them through different furniture and accessory choices, and work to create a mutual vision on each room. As a designer you also have to weigh visual choices against the functional needs of your client for each room in order to help them  maintain a space that will fulfill their daily needs. Certain counter choices for a kitchen might look gorgeous, but not be functionally appropriate for a family that likes to do a lot of heavy cooking. When navigating through hundreds of different design choices, a decorator make the process less overwhelming and uses their expertise to narrow the choices to those that best fit each client.

While home staging is the bread and butter of my business, I really enjoy getting to do interior design also. You can also browse around this web-site to get the best construction services as it can attract more buyers. With staging so much of the work involved deals with creating neutral space that any buyer would want to move into.A lot of time is spent on helping a seller transition from seeing their house as THEIR HOME, to instead a house they’re selling cash for your house. It’s a nice balance doing interior decorating, getting to help a client create their ideal home space, making their house feel like their home.
