DESIGN TIPS and Rec's

BY JOELLE EBANKS

TRUST YOUR DESIGNER

You've done the research to find the right designer, so it is essential to trust them to have a successful working relationship. A good interior designer has the training and experience to be able to find the right balance between your comfort zone and their vision. They are offering things that will allow you to see your home's truest potential. When there's trust, beautiful things happen.

SPEND YOUR DOLLARS IN A DEFINED AREA

Finish/Complete one area of your home before moving on to the next. Do one room at a time. That way, you see the results of your dollars spent rather than spread throughout the entire house, and you don't know where it all went.

LIMIT SELECTIONS TO MAKE DECISIONS EASIER

Psychology has proven that more choices are not always better. Having too many choices often makes it harder for us to make decisions. We are privy to thousands of selections daily, so when we make selections for our clients, we only show a limited range of choices to make their decision a lot less overwhelming. So having their trust to make the proper selection for the home is imperative, cost-effective, and lends to a more cohesive home in the end.

DESIGN FOR YOU

While you're getting inspired by various trends and styles, please don't get caught up in copying them. Your home should reflect your style and taste. Don't be trendy; otherwise, you'll end up spending more in the long run, changing everything in a short space of time to keep up. Select pieces you love, and that represents your vibe and your family. Stay true to yourself. That's unique enough to stand out from everything else. l

Founded on the philosophy that your home is a reflection of who you are and a collection of what you love, Joelle Ebanks is committed to creating spaces that are unique and memorable, timeless and yet functional with a touch of an island flare.
