The Cost of Being Wrong

Sometimes it's expensive to be wrong, like when you've ordered a custom made piece of furniture. It's been crafted to your specifications, and, even if you made a mistake and ordered the wrong size, you can't return it. Ouch.

Rewind to before you ordered that same piece of furniture. Then, it's free to be wrong, and it continues to be free up until the time you place your order.

That's why finding and ordering the "stuff" you need for your new room (furnishings, fixtures, and finishes) is the second to the last step in our interior design project management system.

Before you even think about the stuff, you will have defined success, drawn a plan, and finalized your budget. And, you will have made a few "free" mistakes along the way to figuring out what you really want.
