Do-It-Yourself Homeowner Stuck in Design Indecision- Day of Design Might Be Your Answer

Do-It-Yourself Homeowner Stuck in Design Indecision – Can’t Pull The Trigger

DESIGNER FOR A DAY IS FOR 98% OF HOMEOWNERS

 

Houzz did a survey that was recently published in Elle Magazine and had some startling information revealed about homeowners who are their own interior decorators.

Did you know that in a recent Houzz survey, it was found that 98% of the Do-it-Yourself Homeowners are not happy with the interior design or style of their home.  Isn’t that sad and so staggering… could it be true that really only 2% of the homeowners like where they live and breathe, and sleep and spend time with their cherished family.

Many homes in New Orleans are still sporting their 2006 “Post Katrina Design Decisions”.  Ten years ago after our great flood, when in early 2006, many of us were forced to redesign our home, the most popular colors were taupe, black, buttery yellow and sage green.   Another hugely popular color palette after Katrina was copper, orange, chocolate and turquoise!    If you are still there, then it is time to consider some updates. 

If you wake up and every morning stare at your dated and over worn furniture and really want a change start thinking about which direction you want to head.   If you are staring at a black and yellow family room, it’s time for a change.   What I often see is that it’s not the budget stopping you it's the decisions.   At KHB Interiors, we call this “Design Indecision”.   A homeowner has poured through Pinterest boards and spent hours on Houzz but is too scared to take the next step which is to take action.

You've looked and looked and finally think you are ready to purchase -- then BAMMMM - the fear creeps in and that little voice whispers in your head: " will really fit?  How will this color look in my bedroom?  will that look like the Jones’?  will it last?  Will Mike like it?    So you freeze and do nothing  -- and often a year later you are still there with your outdated home hanging around with the 98% of unsatisfied do-it-yourself homeowners!

Studies show that by hiring an interior design professional you can go from the 98% of unhappy do – it-yourself homeowners, into that 2% of happy Homeowners.   

 

Does the idea of having your very own Designer for a Day sound interesting?   At KHB Interiors we call it a “Day of Design”.

Perhaps you're not certain your home needs a full-service design approach but you do feel it could benefit from some reSTYLING:  A new area rug, some lamps, new floor plan, a sofa, accessorizing a bookcase, creating an art display, selecting paint colors, window treatment ideas, suggestions on chalk painting, and on and on!  A Day of Design might just be the thing for you.

Our Day of Design Comes in 3 Packages:

 

“In Home Design Working Session”  2.5 – 3 Hours

Half a “Day of Design” – 4 Hours

DAY OF DESIGN – 6 Hours

WHAT CAN WE ACCOMPLISH IN A 6-HOUR DAY OF DESIGN? 

Fresh Ideas: Selecting furnishings can be a daunting task. 

Pinterest, Houzz, Joss & Main, Overstock-- so many choices it can be overwhelming.  I can help you navigate the maze.

Room Layout:  Maybe you need furniture placement layouts and could benefit from guidance on: proper scale, pattern coordination, traffic control or ideas for multipurpose room functions.

Finishes for a Do-it-Yourself Project: Are you in the process of reDESIGNING your kitchen or bath, and your contractor is stalled waiting on you for your selections. 

The thought of facing the daunting task of deciding on finishes, like tile, plumbing fixtures, counters and such is just overwhelming you right now?

Selecting paint colors is often difficult for many people!  This can get you going and ready to go to Helm Paint to get started!

Career Overload: No Spare Time: Would it be helpful to have a professional, creative plan handed to you which would really cut down time as you go shopping for your room's finishing touches?

DAY OF DESIGN IS PERFECT FOR THE DO-IT-YOURSELF CLIENT

You'll receive a follow-up list to recap the day, along with your action plan to implement.  Clients who have selected this service plan will carry out the follow-up list on their own and through their own service resources.  Access to my specialized service providers/to-the-trade sources are reserved for Full Service Design Services.

If you decide to utilize my services to carry out the design plan, or if we find additional days are necessary in order to address an expanded list of items, I can happily schedule and quote that, too.

If the desire is to rework the space, via moving furniture or hanging artwork, etc., this must be pre-determined and pre-scheduled, as we'll need additional manpower for heavy lifting.  Typically, this activity would be accomplished during a second design day visit or after an initial in home consultation. My installer's fee will be in addition to my design fee.

Your thoughts and comments about how you would use your own Day of Design are welcomed.
