Where I’d Spend My Money | Intro

One of the first things I ask my clients during the Programming (Information Gathering) Phase is what types of items do you like to invest in? Even if you have a very generous sum you are willing to spend on a renovation or furnishings project, undoubtedly there are things you value more than others. For some, decorative lighting or hardware is a “splurge” they love to make. Other clients want to invest in custom upholstery with a frame built to last over 20 years that can be recovered for a lifetime. These choices and preferences are so personal and unique to each person—as a designer, I would never presume that your priorities are similar to mine.
