Full Service Interior Design vs. Redesign: Which Path Should You Choose for Your Home?

In my experience as an interior designer, I’ve encountered many clients uncertain about whether they need a complete transformation or a quick update. Both avenues can significantly enhance your living space, but they have distinct purposes. Understanding which route to take will help you save time, money, and energy. Let’s unpack the differences and discover when each option is most beneficial for your home.

Understanding Interior Design vs. Redesign

To start, let’s clarify what Interior Design and Redesign entail. Interior design is the art, science, and business of creating a creative, practical, sustainable, and functional interior that fits the architecture of a space. It blends process and strategy with a focus on well-being, safety, and health, while making thoughtful choices about style and aesthetics. All of this is a fancy way to say that Interior Design projects can be… huge. With this comes huge value and results, but it is a commitment!

Interior redesign, or Designer by the Day, is quickly carving out its own niche in the ever-growing world of home improvement. It’s all about rearranging a client’s existing furniture and accessories to magically transform a room. Sometimes fresh art or accessories are added, and in some cases, new wall color suggestions help brighten or warm up the space. A redesign session can last anywhere from two hours to a full day, depending on the number of rooms. It’s a quick way to create beautifully styled, personalized homes, and it’s made professional design accessible to more people than ever before!

Why hire a home stager?

  • The investment you put in your largest asset, your home, will pay off. According to RESA (Real Estate Staging Association), 85% of homes sold for 5-23% over list price.

  • The cost to stage your home is well below the amount of a typical first cost reduction.

  • A staged home will net 6-10% more than an unstaged home.

  • Staged homes sell 4x faster, according to local and national statistics from RESA.

  • After only a month on the market, home value can get knocked down 5%. Staging costs typically average less than 1%.
