How do I develop a budget for my kitchen or bath remodel? Why should I disclose that to my designer?

Talking about money can often be uncomfortable. Your designer should be able to help guide you through that, by asking a you series of question about what your want or needs are and help you prioritize that. By giving your designer a budget, you’re helping them work more efficiently towards your goal. A good designer will be able to help you maximize your budget, showing you where you should spend your money for the most impact. For example when planning a kitchen, maybe your priority is a higher end quartz counter top, maybe that doesn’t quite fit into budget the way you had everything planned. Where else can we compromise? Maybe we can pick a less expensive ceramic tile versus porcelain or matching stone. There are many ways we can adjust your budget and being honest with your designer will really help them maximize your budget for you; ultimately giving you your dream space.
