Is your budget ready?

Whether you are decorating and furnishing a brand new room in a new construction home, or you want to update a room in an existing home, there are several factors that contribute to the total overall cost.

Complexity of the design (listed from simple to more complex)

  • simple room refresh

  • changing architectural elements such as tile, cabinetry, or millwork

  • moving walls and changing the footprint of the room

Furniture (listed from less expensive to more expensive)

  • use existing furniture (budget for repairs or refinishing as needed)

  • reupholster existing furniture (can be as expensive as buying new)

  • purchase new
