When designing for new construction, deciding structural questions like the kitchen layout, the number of bathrooms, or the placement of fixtures is fairly simple. These elements can be added, moved, or changed during the design process, and the client, the designer, and the architect are really only limited by the budget.
When designing for a remodel, things become more complicated. It’s important to consider the implications of moving or changing load-bearing walls, plumbing or HVAC infrastructure, floor-to-floor height, and other major changes. An old building may have historic features or characters to preserve or hazardous materials to remove. Old homes are also often full of surprises, and the remodeling process may reveal unknown problems.
While DIY home remodeling shows make it look easy, a big home renovation project should always start with a detailed, professional design plan that accounts for all these factors and serves as the blueprint to guide all the relevant demolition and construction crews. A professional interior design for a remodeling project is also essential for ensuring that your new space meets the needs of your lifestyle and reflects your unique personality. Interior designers are experts at finding unutilized space, optimizing natural light, preserving historic features, and maximizing the return on investment for your remodeling project.
For simpler remodeling projects, like removing a wall to open up a kitchen, you might think to go directly to a contractor or even do the project yourself. However, there are a lot of reasons to hire a professional before beginning a remodel. Here are just a few:
