Constantly coming across my desk are what some interior designers would always, or never, have in their homes.

Some point out what looks outdated, and some give examples to update.

Present trends in colors, furnishings, desirable and undesirable features, additions, changes for appearances, and what raises or lowers the financial worth of a house in the current market are noted by professionals in the housing industry.

What new resources, techniques, requirements, and other options are available?

Many times, these guidelines are one hundred and eighty degrees from each other.

How is a layperson to digest this flood of information for personally accurate and usable information?

By asking pertinent questions of yourself.

Who are you, and where do you want to reside?

What are your current, short-term, and long-term financial options to obtain this goal?

What, while occupying this place, are your present-day and future lifestyles?

What personal expressions do you want for now and for years to come?

Do you prefer the ambiance in your living environment to be constant or to vary?

What, in order, are the priorities for where you live?

How long do you plan to live there?

Are positions opinions or validated by scientific facts?

Use your intelligence to research and evaluate the wheat from the husks to obtain what is needed for your decisions.

Using the guidance of professional services will be a more tranquil process and produce a higher level of quality results.

Food for thought.
