Many online companies are currently on the market selling room e-design at very low prices. It’s important for the consumer to understand what this means for them, as the client. An online package deal may work to design a single room, but we don’t live in a photo shoot—things can get complicated. For instance, walls may have protruding radiators, outlets in odd places, or windows that aren’t standard heights. All of these issues need to be addressed, and they won’t always translate in a simple photo to a remote designer who’s attention is on thirty other projects. It’s important to know the difference between a bespoke room design with custom details that is curated in a manner traditional to the field, and a room makeover that can be guided by a remote professional designer, leaving much in the hands of the client. Both of these methods have value and an initial conversation will determine what is best for you. 

On average, a custom room takes thirty hours to design, soup to nuts. That number varies, of course, depending on the size and scope of the space and how quickly the client makes decisions. Burrow & Nest focuses on the flow of the entire home and how rooms connect both visually, and functionally. It includes scheming, measuring, layout sketching, shopping, ordering, and install. All of these skills are implemented in a free-flow pattern, as they are repeated, re-analyzed, and revisited throughout the design process. With any renovation or new build, a designer needs to work closely with the general contractor, architect, and tradesmen. In these scenarios, an on-site designer may be better for your needs.

In light of our new reality of working, teaching, and quarantining at home, homeowners are realizing their living spaces need to be more functional and flexible, or that a long overdue update can no longer be put off.  Whether or not you’re ready to bring contractors into your home, Burrow & Nest can provide the guidance you need through virtual consulting and design to transform your rooms into beautiful spaces that will function for the way we live today.
