The availability of a vast amount of information and ideas can make the designing and remodeling process more anxiety-inducing than it need be. While you should still spend time perusing sites like Houzz, Pinterest, and Instagram, be prepared to talk to your designer about your personality.
Introverts and Extroverts
Did you know that introverts and extroverts decorate their homes very differently?
Introverts value privacy and prefer spaces where they can hit the mental reset button - quiet, cozy, and free of distractions. They prefer light and neutral colors as they induce a feeling of serenity, and sound-reducing elements such as drapes and carpets. (Photo credit: thecozyspace.tumblr.com)
Extroverts, on the other hand, prefer spaces that are conducive to social gatherings and conversation. They prefer bright colors and designer furniture that will allow them to entertain guests. (photo credit: hgtv.com)
Whatever your personality (or mix of family personalities), it’s also important to consider resale value when remodeling.
Another way you can narrow down the options is to take advantage of decorating personality assessments for your house remodeling. One such site is HGTV’s What’s Your Design Personality? quiz. Another is Modsy’s Style Quiz. Although these sites are focused on decor styles, you could gain a better sense of the cabinet and fixture styles you prefer.
Take all these factors into consideration when meeting with one of Essence Design Build’s expert designers. They will use your insights to help guide you through the design process.
