Key Takeaways

Homeowners should prepare before meeting an Interior Designer because unclear needs can cause back-and-forth and wasted time.
A realistic budget range and high-resolution floor plan help Interior Designers understand the renovation scope.
Lifestyle needs and aesthetic preferences, such as saved photos or a mood board, help Interior Designers understand the homeowner’s ideal home.

Your home needs to be catered to your specific needs.
Your Interior Designer will not be able to provide the best solution if you’re not clear on what your specific needs are.

Not knowing what you want can cause lots of back and forth which means wasted time

Aesthetics: Save photos of homes or create a moodboard to help the Interior Designer understand the look and feel you’re going for
