Theoretical Thursday: Design Dilemmas - Why Finishes Look Different at Home (And How to Get It Right!)
Many of my clients really struggle with knowing which finishes to select. This is often because the lighting and surrounding finishes differ from store to home or from store to commercial setting.
Have you ever picked finishes that you absolutely LOVE in store? Only to take them home or back to your commercial space and feel utterly confused, defeated and shocked at just how different they look? Does it make you feel crazy because you could have sworn they looked great before?
Don’t fret, you are not alone! You are NOT losing your mind, they most certainly did look great.
I’ve compiled some key design tips for you in selecting finishes for your upcoming renovation projects.
When in doubt, hire a professional to help! They have theoretical knowledge, experience and backgrounds for these specific instances. Many designers allow small projects such as yours to be billed hourly so it won’t cost you thousands for peace of mind. After all, that’s priceless.
