Interior Designers Are The Hairdresser of the Home

Have you ever cut your own hair badly or had a DIY interior design project flop?

 

Interior Designers Are The Hairdressers Of The Home

Raise your hand if you have ever stood in front of your mirror crying after a botch job to your hair “just to get you by till your next appointment”, or worse yet to “save money”!  Or, have you made an even more costly mistake with your home by implementing a DIY project without an overall interior design plan? Raise your hand again!

Hair and Interior Design

Ok, let’s bo down and get serious about our home’s interior design plan.  To start, think about your home and your hair in the same way.

Let’s say you have a short, brunette hair style.  You’ve decided you want your natural blonde back with pony tail ready locks.   Just as it takes time to grow out hair, it can take time to get your home the way you want it.   Your hairdresser will get you through the growing pains with a plan for your hair so you look your best along the way.  An interior designer can help you create a detailed plan for your home you can implement over time, on your schedule and with your budget.

Plan your interior design and work your plan.

The Hair and Home Goal

For most of us, we want to be living in the home that is designed perfectly to suit our needs and have our hair look good everyday.  Raise your hand again if this is you.

A interior design goal without a plan is just a wish!

Kristen did such a nice job explaining the benefits of using an interior designer. No need to repeat. Instead I’ll share how this post came to be and how we, as designers, stay inspired.

how interior designers stay inspired

Years ago my hairdresser made the comment that she and I did the same thing…she for clients hair and me for their homes.  She was so right and her words have stuck with me.

A good haircut is one that suits “us” best. It can be styled in so many different ways. Colored in hundreds of shades.  Changed over and over, trying new things or reverting back to our comfort zones.  No matter how badly  we treat it, even when it gets dangerously out of control,  it’s fixable.  We look at it every day, several times a day and count on it to be there for us.

Now go back and change haircut to home and see if you agree that little miss snippet was onto something…using professionals has its perks!

  1. Truer words were never spoken, and I have the home to prove it! Every inch was planned long before the first of block was laid. We had no surprises because he had a plan for outside and inside. Thanks to our great designer.

  2. This reminds me that I do need a haircut. If I had an interior designer am positive I wouldn’t constantly be changing everything in my house because I hate what I did a few months later.

    1. Well at least all of us know we need to get our hairs in order before the holiday! As far as the designer, we are ready when you are!
