When it came to renovating my flat, I learnt my lesson from my property search – I needed help.
I knew I needed an interior designer, less so for design because I was pretty sure of how I wanted my flat to look, and more so for their project management experience and relationships with the various contractors and tradespeople.
If you’re confident in your project management skills, you can always go the contractor route and save some money. But I wasn’t confident that I’d be able to manage a full-scale renovation on my own.
I knew from my hit-and-miss approach in finding a property agent I could trust, that I needed to be a little smarter and a lot more discerning before settling on an interior designer to work with to build my dream home.
Fortunately (and unfortunately) for us homeowners looking to renovate, interior design firms are a dime in a dozen....
