You can start by using a home computer and working with a professional remodeler. If you
have a home computer, you can purchase and install any number of home remodeling
visualization programs (if your remodeler doesn't have one). You can then view new wall
colors, different types of tile and other cosmetic changes on your computer screen.
You can arrange various styles of furniture, design your own room, build walls, add
cabinets and fixtures, see everything from all angles, even cast shadows from outside
light, and then tally the approximate costs for your new creation. More complex programs
will require some time for you to go through a tutorial, which will teach you what the
program does and how it works. However, when you actually speak with your remodeler,
you'll already have seen which layouts best meet your needs. You should be able to buy
interior design computer programs at almost any good office supply or computer specialty
store. Before you hire a remodeler, conduct a thorough interview including the
company's:
- References of past clients.
- Samples of previous jobs.
- Views about remodeling (and your comfort level talking with the remodeler).
- Membership with local or national remodeling associations, such as a Certified Master
Remodeler.
- Experience in your area.
- Record with the local Better Business Bureau.
