When you walk into a room, you can usually divide the crowd into two different types of people: the Type A Planners and the Fluid Creatives. Type A Planners are all about timelines, hard numbers, and doing things by the book to produce one great outcome. Fluid Creatives are all about going with the flow, solving a problem through multiple possible solutions, and taking each element into careful consideration.
The interior design field is full of these creative and fluid types. The flexible energy they bring to design makes them well suited to create the home of your dreams, even in ways you may not have thought of! While the end result makes you wonder how you ever lived without a home this beautiful, the design process can sometimes be tricky for tried and true planners.
Being patient can be difficult; especially when the end result is laced with excitement! But interior design is all about approaching a space with multiple different ideas, and that can take time. The interior designer isn’t the only creative-type involved in the process, either. Contractors, carpenters, architects, and tradespeople usually lean toward the creative side, too, and love to engage in hands-on work like building fireplace mantels or staircases.
While it’s reassuring to know your home makeover is in capable hands, it can also be hard when each of the people working on the project operate under uncertain deadlines. Our team would rather see the job done right, even if it takes a bit longer than expected. I’m sure you’d rather have a kitchen with cabinets on May 1st, than one without on April 15th! Oftentimes, the materials to build those new cabinets traveled through several sets of hands before they were installed in your kitchen. As we all know, if one segment of the supply change runs behind, it can throw everything else off schedule.
We promise to always try our hardest to keep each portion of renovations and redesign on schedule, but ask for a little grace as sometimes we blow right past those deadlines. The best advice we can give you is to be understanding, and know that our primary goal is a redesign that brings you peace and joy.
