QUESTIONS A DESIGNER OR
DECORATOR MAY ASK AT THE INITIAL
CONSULTATION.
When planning a home renovation or
decorating project, the first step is an in-
home consultation with an interior designer
or decorator. To ensure this meeting goes
smoothly, here are a few questions you
should be prepared to answer.
DETAILS OF THE PROJECT
What space are you considering a redesign
or renovation for?
What is your ideal timeline?
What is your budget?
What do you like most and least about the
space?
How do you want this room to feel or look
when renovated?
Are there specific activities or functions you
need or want this room to do?
PREFERENCES AND
PERSONALITY
What family members reside in the home
now or in the near future?
Do you plan on living in this home/condo for
a short time or long term?
Do you have furniture pieces that you would
like to keep?
What design style do you prefer?
What is your personal style?
What colors do you wear or gravitate to?
These questions will help the designer
better understand your goals and objectives
for the project. Clear communication will
go a long way toward ensuring your vision
is achieved on time and on budget. - Text by
