Why pay for a professional when you can design it yourself? Two reasons: big discounts from suppliers, and fewer costly mistakes. Pick up this month's edition of MONEY SENSE magazine to read how CAPOFERRO saved $$ in a kitchen renovation. Here are some highlights from the article:
A good designer will ensure that projects stay on budget and homeowners understand what they're getting for their money without blowing the budget.
Professional designers, especially those in business a long time can access industry discounts unavailable to the average homeowner. Those discounts - ranging from 40% on high-end appliances, rugs and furnishings - can result in savings of thousands of dollars. For instances, Francesco Di Sarra, of Capoferro Design Build Group used his connections and bulk purchasing clout to snag a gorgeous heritage porcelain sink for a fraction of the cost.
Because interior designers speak the same language as the trades people and are working from a detailed design plan, they can avoid design mistakes and last minute changes - and those are the things that really drive up the cost of a project.
Remember, your home is your most valuable asset, why would you do anything without professional help? Think about it. Bad design can cost as much as good design.
