Budget for Success

" Clients often forget that there are many layers involved in the completion of a well dressed interior" Charmaine Wynter ., Design Principal Wynter Interiors inc

This large scale geometric rug is so on trend; all the orange hued accents freshen the neutral decor.


" Most renovator's may only consider the hard element cost associated with a redesign~like a table, or bamboo plank flooring and the related installation fees; forgetting to allocate for decorative expenses like window coverings, a area rug, art and accessories items - elements you'll use on a day to day basis long after the "hard" renovation is complete."Charmaine Wynter,Design Principal Wynter Interiors 

When setting a budget for any makeover, be realistic and make sure you have a budget allotted for luxury upgrades or incidental costs. This should be between 15-25% in addition to the total budget; since you can never be certain what you will desire during a transformation. It can be as small as unexpectedly having to change the colour of a wall for the 3rd time or much more costly such as having to replace the wrong styled dining room set that no longer fits with your decor aesthetics.  Just like any other investment, a makeover requires proper planning and budgeting; do your homework and plan an accurate budget with a little extra for backup.  Tatjana Emer
