/24-7PressRelease/ - April 18, 2008 - A sluggish economy and high gas prices means homeowners are feeling the financial pinch and are less likely to remodel or make drastic changes to their d cor. Interior redesign or 'one day makeovers' as it's frequently referred, makes existing space feel like brand new. There's nothing new to buy with this 'no cost' approach to decorating. Usually done in a day or less, interior redesign is truly a debt free way to refresh and revitalize homes.
"A lot of change can be accomplished without a minimal investment. The redesigned space will match your personal style, as well as enhance the functionality of the rooms using the furniture and decorative objects you already own. That's why interior redesign has such strong appeal," explains Sandy Dixon owner of Evergreen, Colorado-based Interior Arrangements, Inc., one of the country's leading interior redesign and real estate staging training companies.
Dixon is also Executive Director of Interior Redesign Industry Specialists (IRIS http://www.weredesignandstage.com), an international organization of professional redesigners and stagers, whose members are often featured on HGTV and cable network shows.
"Sometimes people expect us to show up with a bunch of workers, because that's what they've seen on TV. But redesign is really much simpler than that," she explains. "It's a skilled redesign professional working with the homeowner to determine the best usage of each room and arranging various elements from all over the house, to achieve that goal. Reducing items not used, needed OR liked from the room, arranging furniture based on the architecture of the space to improve floor traffic and focusing the room's function produces amazing results. People start using and enjoying rooms they completely avoided before."
So forget about knocking out a wall or forking over cash for new furniture or a bunch of trendy knickknacks. Interior redesign starts with the belongings that already make your house a home. In fact, the majority of people have everything they need for fresh new look and feel, they just don't have them in the right rooms. Most are sitting on a wealth of possibilities, which is where a professional redesigner really helps.
"People need to realize that redesign is affordable, practical and personal," says Dixon. "If you want a new way to do more with what you have, it's the simplest way to get there."
