Ever want to have a famous interior designer help you with your home? Each Monday, famous Beverly Hills interior designer James Swan answers readers’ questions in his blog installment of DesignCoach™. Post your design dilemma. DesignCoach™ can help you find the solution. This week the DesignCoach™ discusses Home Shows:
Q: My husband and I think we finally have enough money to renovate our kitchen. We’re going to need everything from the floor to the windows and maybe even some structural work. We’re thinking that since this process can be overwhelming we’d go to one of the home shows in our city before heading to the store or talking to a designer. What do you think about home shows?
A: If this is your first renovation project I believe the more information you have the more prepared you will feel. Home Shows are a great place to submerge yourself. Prepare to be overwhelmed. There are so any options available. My recommendation for Home Shows is to attend with an open mind. Look at everything.
Ask tons of questions, pick up literature, touch things, walk on things, open things, etc., and then run home as fast as you can. Believe me, you will want the quiet. During the following days certain products, ideas or manufactures will remain in your thoughts. These may be the ones you should investigate further (possibly through a local retail store or design professional). Remember, this should be a fun part of the process. Don’t stress just explore.
Check here for a listing of upcoming home shows nationwide.
