Before deciding to do a renovation yourself, evaluate whether you're ready for these difficulties

Are you sure you can handle it without a designer and save money at the same time? Maybe, but not necessarily: often a renovation without a project costs much more in money, effort, and nerves. Nadежda Kuzina explains why.

You've Never Done a Renovation

A beginner makes more mistakes – if you want to do everything yourself, be prepared for costs to fix those errors.

You Don't Know About Ergonomics

It's worth consulting a designer at least to get layout plans and working drawings for builders – otherwise, it may later turn out that a socket is blocked by a cabinet or furniture doesn't fit the space.

Your Budget Isn't Flexible

A professional can suggest where and how to save money, and where it's not worth it, and find the right materials. Not everyone enjoys spending all their weekends in stores or construction markets.

You Don't Have a Clear Vision of the Desired Outcome

You like various ideas taken from magazines, TV shows, or seen with friends. Selecting only what's needed and combining it properly is a designer's job.

You Can't Explain Your Needs to Sellers and Contractors

Often, even the most honest supplier of building materials has trouble understanding your interior and the atmosphere you want to create. Without drawings and visualizations, you have to explain it “with fingers.” Even then, the idea of beauty remains subjective.

You Want to Fix Spatial Geometry

No matter how many squares you have, there's always something missing. A designer knows how to raise or lower ceilings, expand space visually, and get the most out of what you have.

You Like Things to Go According to Plan

A designer and a project help bring order into the chaos that reigns on the site. A project is a plan of action that guides you and the builders in the right direction.
