What is ReDesign?

Ask Stacie...

"I'm not familiar with the Interior Redesign process. Can you tell me how it works?


On a typical Redesign consultation, I first meet with the homeowner to talk about their problems, expectations, and specific needs. Maybe it's adding more warmth to a room, or making a space more inviting, comfortable, or functional.

Next, I asses the furniture arrangement for balance and flow, and look at the accessories and art placement. On my next visit I empty the room and start rearranging. I may shop for additional items (within the client's budget) to complete the transformation. The design process for one room typically takes 3 to 4 hours. It's like working a jigsaw puzzle - all the pieces are there - it's a matter of knowing just where to place them that makes all the difference.

Redesign can be "debt-free" decorating if you are a do-it-yourselfer. But for minimal amounts ($250 w/ Creative Solutions), considering the creativity used, a Redesigner can transform your space using your current items. It's like getting a whole new room and you didn't have to leave the house (or demolish it)!

It is also considered "green" to Redesign because you are re-purposing and recycling items, not just throwing them away or buying new things. So you can take care of the environment while taking care of your home too!
