\nWe find ourselves being asked this question all the time. When are your design ideas and products working as a whole and when are they not? Well there is no easy answer for this, and sometimes it is not working and you need someone to come out and say it- and finding someone that will say \u2018no\u2019 to you can be hard!<\/p>\n

Working with different companies and people who all have differing opinions can be confusing. What you really need are solutions – not just yes and nos. What we find when working with our clients, is that when someone asks if their design is working – either something is bothering them or they need reassurance. This is where we can provide direction and help bring the design together!<\/p>\n

Over the years we have come up with some tips for you to work out if your design is working for you-we hope these help on your journey\u2026<\/p>\n

TIP 1<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t overcrowd yourself with peoples\u2019 opinions. Keep to a couple of people who understand your project and yourself.<\/p>\n

TIP 2<\/strong>
\nFind an outsider that you work well with-but who is not emotionally connected to you and the project and get their input.<\/p>\n

TIP 3<\/strong>
\nUtilising natural elements in some form will enhance a space-it will bring warmth to any design and can be the basis of the design or the back drop.<\/p>\n

TIP 4<\/strong>
\nGo with your gut! If you find yourself going around in circles, than the right choice is really there in front of you!<\/p>\n

TIP 5<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t be afraid to get quotes-having tangible pricing allows you to work out your budget (and how much can be left for the \u201cfun\u201d purchases!)<\/p>\n

TIP 6<\/strong>
\nIf you can\u2019t visualise it-find someone who can create it for you.<\/p>\n

A rendered image can help you visualise a space.<\/p>\n

TIP 7<\/strong>
\nKnow and understand the products you are selecting. Are there care and maintenance issues you should know about?<\/p>\n

TIP 8<\/strong>
\nIs your design in line with the outcome? Are you selling, planning on renting after renovating or is this the short term plan- does the intent align with what you need? Sometimes taking yourself out of the equation helps put a design into perspective.<\/p>\n

TIP 9<\/strong>
\nBe happy and confident with your choices- you are really the only person you have to please.<\/p>\n

TIP 10<\/strong>
\nNothing really is forever. It may seem like it at times-but things do change. Embrace it and design around it!<\/p>\n

We hope these tips help you in the planning process! <\/p>\n
