Why is planning so important?

Too often people call me to help them with decorating their
house after they have started purchasing all sorts of furniture and other
items, to finally realise that once everything is in their home it just doesn’t give the expected result.

Recently again I was called in by a young couple wanting to get a modern look in their flat. They already had bought sofas and shelving and curtains and… to realise that not only they couldn’t fit all their books in the acquired storage but they couldn’t get the clean modern look they were after.
In a word they didn’t manage to solve their design problem and they didn't plan to.

Hiring an interior designer allow to avoid this sort of mistake and disappointment, and at the same time save you money!
What we, interior designer do, is planning ahead everything, so that before you even start emptying a room to prepare it for the decorating phase you already know what is going where and for what cost! Everything has been carefully thought of and planned, may it be the space, the colour, theatmosphere how to resolve any design issue…

The different stages of re-designing a home have to follow a specific order as you don’t want to start applying paint before you remember you wanted to change the lighting…

At the moment one of my projects is in a very exciting
phase: the lighting is being installed.

As you can see, we'll need all the knowledge of our decorator to make
all the walls good and ready for the decoration phase.

I will show you the next stages as they happen!
