1. Work with teams of professionals who will make the best recommendations and can guarantee the correctness and durability of their work. Do not enjoy cheap maneuvers, which will later cost you much more than you can imagine.
2. Do not “borrow” money from the budgets of the other parties in your arrangement to satisfy some costly wishes if you do not have enough of the existing budget in that section. Only this way you will be able to finish the whole project with the money initially allocated without having to end up making a credit or, in fact, you can not finish the arrangement of the apartment due to lack of funds.
3. When you set the price per square meter you can pay for a product, you must mentally set that there is no product other than those that fit into your budget. You can not see in the shops just the models of parquet, for example, whose price is less than or equal to the price you set as a result of the financial analysis at the beginning of the project. And so do all the materials and products that you are going to buy during the entire period of the apartment arrangement.
4. As regards the choice of furniture or decorations, remember that you are the ones who will use them every day, you will enjoy their comfort or you will suffer because of a design made with this compromise, the lack of your state good. Do not fall into the trap of choices made by other people, design magazines and interior design, fashionable products, or because “so has your neighbor” and you must have it. Each person is unique and we each have our own criteria for assessing a space in fulfilling the requirements that transform it from an apartment into a home, from a physical space into that “home” of our soul.
5. The most important advice we hold at the end, as a prize for those who have the patience to read the whole article:
Go on this road of customized apartment design with the awareness that it will be a life experience more than a building site, a real project management course, at the end of which you will benefit not only from a healthy home and the soul of the whole families, but also new skills, abilities that you will remain and apply in everyday life in all projects that you will more or less consciously manage.
In order to benefit from all these gifts, the secret is to start by recognizing that you know nothing about the management of an interior design project but that you are willing to learn from every experience you experience and from every person you interact with .
