Choosing a Designer:

• Start with Concrete Ideas of Your Own
• Get recommendations from friends, family, coworkers, and contractors.
• Keep an open mind to the designer’s suggestions.
• Bring a designer in at the beginning of your renovation or new home.
• Go shopping with your designer to help ensure that you are on the same page in terms of style, colors and budget.
