What’s the Best Month to start a Decorating or Renovation Project?

For quick updates

Want a home refresh in time for the holidays?

For quick updates you’d like done by the time the holidays roll around, you’ll want to reach out in August /September. You are not alone in wanting to get your place looking it’s best and ready for visitors, so a consultation early on is a great way to get started and take the stress out of a last-minute scramble.  

Winter blues? Time for a decor pick-me up or room makeover?

Any time works to plan ahead. For a quick turnaround, book early. For a full room makeover with furniture and decor, plan ahead by 3-plus months.

For larger renovation projects

Thinking about renovations you might like to work on in February? Same timeline - early Fall to start. It takes time to design, source everything, and line up a contractor. I've found it works best with the design complete and your job on the contractor’s schedule --before the holidays hit. 

If you are thinking about a Summer renovation, reach out in January to get the ball rolling. You’ll need a design in place to get an accurate estimate, so start with your designer early in the year.  Contractors get booked in the summer to accommodate vacationing homeowners - to get your first pick of contractors you’ll want to start early. 

If you have a smaller project involving just a few changes I suggest 3 design sessions booked a week apart.  We can keep your project moving ahead and transform your space on a fast track!
