Every one of us is dreaming about his family’s home, about that place where, at the end of the day, all together, young and old, gather their batteries together with their loved ones. But not every one of us manages to translate these dreams into a reality as faithful as possible.
We are glad to have been with this young family and to make our contribution to creating that “home“, as they wanted it to.
1.What made you use the services of an interior designer firm? Was this the first experience of this kind?
Yes, it was the first experience to work with an interior designer. The need came naturally, from the desire to enjoy a warm, welcoming interior in which we really feel like “home”. We both have varied abilities that we use daily, but unfortunately none of them would have helped us get what we succeeded with Acolada.
2.What were the benefits of working with an interior design firm?
I’ve gained a lot of time because we had someone to handle Research. We’ve earned both time and money by avoiding Trial & Error.
We have learned about how to combine colors and shapes to awaken the emotions we wanted to explore. I learned how to change the look of the house in the future using simple rules presented by the interior design firm.
3.Could you estimate how much money you saved using the recommendations of a professional? What mistakes would you have made if you had ventured yourself into this experience?
No matter how uncomfortable it is to recognize this, I assume that we have come close to the € 5,000 saved, by comparing the original idea with the actual act of executing the project.
I imagine I may have lost a lot of time to decide what we want to do so that in the end our house looks the way we want it. We would probably have used a lot more energy by analyzing what materials we use and where to buy them. You may have been wrong even in choosing the current combination of shapes and colors. It is hard to estimate these things now, when they have already been avoided, but with certainty, there would have been some errors, more or less serious, with some rectification costs.
4.How would you describe the experience of planning your apartment under the designer’s guidance?
Thanks to the continuous communication with the designer and his active attention to the details that were imperative for us, today we enjoy daily the warmth of our home, given by the chosen design. There were moments of thinking, there were moments of change, just as we were through emotion before the unknown, just to be good today.
5.What recommendations would you make to young people who have bought an apartment and want to renovate it?
