Is your home a Paradise?

A lot of people go through the motions of the day without really having a sense of their home really being the place that they truly enjoy, that is functionally to their entire satisfaction and pleasing in style, color and furniture selection.

Yes, many people can buy nice furniture pieces and place them together in a room, but design goes a lot further than that. Design really considers the life-style of the occupant, which items best reflect or display his or her personality, Privacy considerations; traffic patterns; space and scale. Not just a monotonous joining of things but selection of choice conversation pieces, a focal point in the room and the ease that the eye glides over the room; color schemes that are warm, dramatic, peaceful or allow them to psychologically feel an inner sense of balance and harmony reflected in the space they use every day.

The problem is often that many people are afraid of designers or to ask a design firm for advice for fear of costs. But a good and competent designer will always achieve highest quality design within the client's budget, no matter how large or small this might be. Besides this, the result of any cost should be considered as a long term investment into one's own home and the budgetsize is always in the hands of the client, not the designer. The designer will simply recommend and provide estimates of a range of cost considerations, and the home owner is in charge of how much he or she is willing to spend in the project

Well planned designs give returns to the homeowner that far exceeds whatever cost they may decide on.
Not only resulting in impressive and well planned rooms that are functional, with good material and aesthetically pleasing for the occupants, but serve as a stage when entertaining guests for leisure but especially in business settings. Have you even been to a restaurant where the food is great, but the place was bland and without character?
If your home is precious place to you and you intend to spend at the very least the comming 10 or 15 years in it, should you also consider all the benefits of having a formidable place to spend time in?
