Interior Designer? In This Economy? Absolutely!
If you've been dreaming of a beautifully designed home but find yourself hesitating because “now just doesn’t seem like the right time”—I hear you. With rising costs, shifting priorities, and economic uncertainty, investing in interior design might feel like a luxury you should put on hold. But should you?
If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that our homes matter more than ever. They’re not just places we live—they’re where we work, recharge, and find comfort when the world feels uncomfortable. Thoughtful design isn’t about unnecessary luxury; it’s about making your home work better for you, so it truly supports your lifestyle, well-being, and future. And with mortgage rates on the decline, now may be the right moment to make strategic upgrades that add lasting value.
Lower Mortgage Rates = More Opportunity for Home Improvements
If you’ve been holding off on home upgrades due to financial uncertainty, here’s some good news: mortgage rates are on the decline.
On March 12, 2025, the Bank of Canada announced a rate cut from 3.0% to 2.75%, marking its latest reduction since the previous cut in January.
What does a lower interest rate mean for you?
Potentially lower monthly mortgage payments = more flexibility in your budget
Opportunity for home equity refinancing at better rates
A prime opportunity to invest in upgrades that add long-term value
Of course, you could wait. But I mean… since when have prices ever gone down? If your dream home is on the other side of a well-planned renovation, waiting might only make it more expensive later.
Your Home is Your Greatest Asset—Make it Work for You
Your home isn't just where you live; it’s where you thrive. It’s where you unwind after long days, entertain loved ones, and create lasting memories. It’s an investment in your joy, your well-being, and even your financial future.
Well-designed spaces aren’t just about aesthetics—they improve functionality, elevate your daily experience, and add serious value to your property. And in a market where buyers are looking for move-in-ready homes, great design can make all the difference.
Intentional Design Saves You Money
I know—spending money to save money sounds counterintuitive. But poor planning, impulse buys, and DIY mistakes can cost you far more than hiring a professional from the start.
Years ago, I met a couple building a custom home. We clicked instantly, and their builder strongly recommended my services, but they ultimately chose a cheaper option. A few months later, they reached out—frustrated and stuck. Progress had stalled, and they realized they’d made the wrong call. They hoped my pricing had changed now that they were further along, but since none of the original work had been done, my rates remained the same. Worse, they now had to spend even more to fix costly mistakes.
It’s always more expensive to correct missteps than to start with a solid, cohesive plan. If budget is a concern, we can take a step-by-step approach—ensuring every choice fits into the bigger picture, without costly do-overs.
A well-thought-out design means:
Fewer costly mistakes
A cohesive, timeless look that won’t need redoing
Smart investments that increase home value
A space that actually works for your lifestyle (no more regrettable purchases!)
Luxury Doesn’t Have to Mean Excess
Working with an interior designer doesn’t mean extravagant spending—it means smart spending. It means having an expert who can guide you, maximize your budget, and ensure that every dollar is spent wisely. Whether it’s a full-scale renovation or a strategic refresh, we tailor designs to suit your needs.
