hen buying or selling a home,
most people will seek the advice of a Realtor and when planning their investments will often speak with a financial planner.......yet when remodeling or decorating a home they will go at it alone.
With the housing market still at a decline, many homeowners are opting to remain in their current home longer and are either remodeling or redecorating to get a fresh new look.

The average cost of a remodeling project is $20,000-$45,000. The average cost of a decorating project is $2,000 - $6,000. In addition, most consumers spends on average $1,000 - $1,500 per year on home decorating products. With the average home valued at $250,000, this means that homeowners are spending on average 5%-20% of the home's value on home improvement; and this does not include the additional expense for the "OOPS" factor of mistakes made.
This is a pretty big gamble to take, without professional advice, considering the average value of homes in this country have dropped close to 10% in the last 5 years alone.
Consulting with a professional interior decorator ($150-$200 fee) can help eliminate the many mistakes made in most interior decorating projects. Now that's a good return on investment!
