Beginning with communication
The key to a successful project outcome is good communication. The more direct and specific you are, the easier it will be for the designer to successfully meet your expectations.
Consider some questions that an interior designer may ask regarding your project.
For whom is the space being designed?
What activities will take place there?
How long do you plan to occupy the space?
When do you want to start work? When does the job need to be completed?
What is your budget?
Are you relocating or will you reside in the house during remodeling?
What image do you want the space to project?
Do you have furniture, artwork, collectibles, heirlooms or other objects that will
be part of the design?
