138 // ”Designer” sounds expensive, but it doesn’t have to be: 5 tips for hiring the right designer when you’re ready

"Designer"...sounds pricey doesn't it? Is the potential cost of the designer holding you back from getting the help that you want and need in your home? Are you READY to hire someone who can guide you through the process? Before you open the yellow pages or scroll Google, think about these 5 things so you'll be ready to interview the prospective designer when you chat. T.R.U.S.T. T: Time (they should take time to get to know YOU so they can appropriately design a space that serves you!) R: Respect (they should respect your budget, no matter how small, your time and your style.) U: Understand (silly, but...they should understand that they DON'T live there and their design should reflect YOU.) S: Show (they should be able to show you product or a plan before you purchase a thing.) T: Teach (they should include you in the process enough that you are learning a thing or two along the way - so you have a tool in your tool belt for the next time you want a room re-fresh.) // Links Mentioned in Show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: www.figandfarmathome.com Join the newsletter: hello@figandfarmathome.com 5 home secrets: https://bit.ly/5homesecrets Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/design101group Decorating S.O.S.
