DIY Decorating Versus Hiring a Professional Decorator
- Real Estate Tips
- October 25, 2016
Here are some of the pros and cons of decorating your home yourself versus hiring a professional decorator:
DIY
Pros:
- you don’t need to pay for the decorator
- you can take all the credit for what you did and gain a sense of accomplishment
- the décor will truly reflect you and your personal style
- you can take your time and do it in stages without worrying about paying someone extra
- you don’t need to deal with the challenge of relating taste
Cons:
- honestly you could mess up
- if you can’t visualize how you want your house to look then you will be more likely to mess up
- sometimes it won’t save you money to do it yourself
- remember it can be very time consuming and time is worth money
Decorator
Pros:
- you have access to a large selection of trade-only furnishings, fabrics, and all coverings
- you could get pieces through the decorator that are quality and have durability
- they can optimize all your ideas so that they come to fruition
Cons:
- it can be very costly
- it’s an intimate process so if you two don’t get along, it won’t be a pretty picture
- if you aren’t clear about your budget up front then there could be some serious consequences
- you won’t have the same sense of accomplishment as a DIY
