Interior Design Planning Checklist

Step One:
First figure out the maximum amount of money you have available for the upcoming project. This step is too often overlooked. Once you commit to the budget, you can then make clear decisions concerning what will be done when. Your money will control how much change you will accomplish.

Step Two:
Make a list of what you want done or what is most important to you. This sounds simple, but requires some discipline. Pictures help in this process. Select photographs from magazines and catalogs that illustrate design elements, furniture, colors, woodwork, etc. that you like. Your list must contain priorities. Be realistic. Indicate the things / rooms / projects that are absolute musts. Keep in mind that you should work in some type of order. Don't organize projects such that workmen walk through or past rooms or hallways that were just finished! They could ruin brand new work. Use common sense.

List priorities with each project or room. Keep in mind that it is easy to add an area rug, furniture or window coverings, but hard to change wallpaper or permanent fixtures.

Step Three:
Once you have your budget and wish list(s), it is time to call in a professional.
