Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the rocket domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Bad things can happen when you don\u2019t hire a designer. Contrary to stubborn or misled beliefs, not everyone in the world has a keen eye when it comes to picking, mixing and matching their own fabric, furniture and other home d\u00e9cor. These photos prove it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bad Things vs. Good Things<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the bad things that can happen without a designer and the good things that can come from hiring one.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"photoThe Bad Thing:<\/strong> <\/em>You home looks like a rummage sale, with mismatched fabrics, clashing patterns, mounds of clutter and furniture placed at odd, uncomfortable angles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Good Thing:<\/strong> <\/em>A designer assesses the overall form and function of each room, ensuring furniture is placed in a way that accommodates the room\u2019s use, the fabrics blend beautifully and patterns make a bold statement instead of a mangled mess. A designer will pay attention to the aesthetics of each individual room as well as the house as a whole, ensuring the home flows together with style.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"photoThe Bad Thing:<\/strong> <\/em>Your dining room wall sports a Velvet Elvis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Good Thing:<\/strong> <\/em>A designer will find the perfect place for it (perhaps somewhere in the garage).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bad Thing:<\/strong> <\/em>You just spent the last four weeks and all kinds of crazy efforts picking out all this d\u00e9cor. Then you brought it home and it looks like, well, manure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Good Thing:<\/strong> <\/em>Designers take the weight off your shoulders. You don\u2019t have to spend time, energy, efforts and gas money zooming around town for d\u00e9cor that might work \u2013 or not. They know d\u00e9cor that will work, and take care of the hassles for you.<\/span><\/p>\n
