Put That Tax Return to Good Use: Re-Design Your Life

Most of our tax returns fall into one of two categories: Fun, or Investment. Making an investment in re-designing your home is the best of both worlds. You’re making an investment in your piece of mind and home value, and the process can be incredibly fun when you choose the right professional.

Here are 3 reasons to put your return to good use and hire an interior designer:

2. Save Money

Ok, this might seem like a counter-intuitive selling point, but it’s completely true. Hiring an interior designer saves you money because not only can they find you the best deals and help you set a strict budget, they also help you save on potential costly mistakes. If a home re-design is in the plans, a designer is the only way to go.

3. A Unique, Professional Perspective

Interior Designers are trained to think differently. A good designer has a professionally tuned perspective on color, scale, proportion and balance – all of which are absolutely essential to a functional space. Designers are also trained to think spatially and see an overall picture. Bottom line is – they know things you don’t.

3. The WOW Factor

 Designers travel the nation (sometimes the world) to attend fabulous design shows and meet interesting vendors and artists. They are in the know. If you want interesting conversation pieces, or a fun solution not yet available in stores, working with a designer is the way to go. Designers can help make your space unique and add that wow factor.

PS: As a bonus, interior decorators can also make fantastic recommendations when it comes to finding a great contractor, plumber or electrician. They’ll bet their reputation on it.
