Why interior design projects lose momentum

Has your remodel lost momentum?

Moving into a new house is exciting. It’s okay if your new place isn’t perfect because you have time to make it your own.

Some upgrades are easy. Painting the exterior? Check. Buying a new couch? Check. Remodeling the bathroom? Uhhh…

Five, six, even ten years later, you’re still living with the same worn-out bathroom. Let’s face it. A coat of paint and a new shower curtain only go so far. It’s not like you haven’t tried.

You’ve saved pictures of bathrooms you love to Boards and Ideabooks. You’ve talked your spouse into a weekend round-robin of home improvement stores and tile showrooms. You’ve even asked friends and family for advice. Somehow, you always lose momentum. Why?

It turns out that shopping for a room – be that window shopping on Houzz or actual shopping at Home Depot – is not the same thing as designing a room. To design a room, you need knowledge, a process, and support.
