1. Planning lighting / outlets last... Think about where lamps, TVs, and chargers will go before the walls close!
2. Skimping on storage... You'll never regret that extra closet or pantry!
3. Picking finishes one at a time... Try to pick floors, cabinets, and paint colors all together to make sure it flows!
4. Designing for looks, not for life... Plan around how your family actually moves through the day, not how a few post-project pictures will turn out!
5. Bringing in a designer too late... The earlier you work with a professional, the easier (and often the less costly) changes are.
Your goal should be to build it once and love it for years! 🤎
