As an Interior Designer, when I walk into someone’s home or office I sometimes feel like an A-list Stylist at an 80’s Hair Band concert– I want to approach the owner of the offensive getup and tell them to quit polluting their environment with bad taste. Or, if they think they’re too cool to care, I want to tell them they are embarrassing themselves by walking around with a virtual sign on their forehead that screams “CHECK OUT MY HOT MULLET- I CUT IT MYSELF!”

Alas, like the stylist approaching a Billy Ray Cyrus -circa 1995 clone, I’m hesitant to do so for fear of hurting the offender’s feelings. The end result is that the people who need help the most seek it least!

Hiring an Interior Designer can feel, to the average person, like hiring a hairdresser feels to the redneck: an unnecessary expense. Yet, in both cases, it’s actually the best investment they can make!

Enter the trade of Interior Redesign. If hiring a traditional Interior Designer seems like overkill– you’re afraid they’ll have you throw out all of your furniture and spend a fortune– hiring a Redesigner is the answer. We take existing decor and add cost-effective touches, like architectural moldings and appropriate paint colors, in order to create a cohesive design scheme that makes spaces feel like model homes.

Of course, there are somepeople who have an eye for design and, with a few tricks of the trade, can manage to do a decent job all by themselves. For those people, I’m here to clue you in each week with an article on techniques us pros use! If you have a design dilemma that you want answered in an upcoming entry, feel free to email me. Together, we can rid the world of the pollution that is bad decor!
