Melanie Orr Educates Haligonians about the Benefits of Home Redesign

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Melanie Orr, owner of Interiors Working for You, has been a leading Home Staging professional in Halifax since 2004.  In the past few months Melanie has taken to the Internet to educate the Halifax public and beyond with tips and techniques for all aspects of home beautification.  Her latest article addresses the benefits of home redesign and how it is different from traditional home decorating.

According to Melanie, “Home decorating and the use of a specialist in home décor were for a very long time considered a luxury. A designer or decorator would typically completely change a space and the cost would be high.”  She explains that there will always be a market for this type of service but that home design offers something different and more useful to a wider audience.

Orr elaborates further: “Home redesign, on the other hand, comes from the perspective of using what is already there as much as possible. A transformation can be achieved with an editing; a rearrangement; the introduction of a few key elements; a change in color, usage or accessories. Redesign appeals to those who cannot or choose not to spend more than necessary to achieve a change. It is also gaining favour from those who are swinging back towards a less wasteful lifestyle, away from the throw-away perspective of recent years.”

Home redesign services can range from a consultation, which gives the client a direction and path to follow on their own, right up to project management for those clients who do not want to be directly involved with the process. Referring trades people, shopping, developing floor plans, color consultations, material sourcing plus selection and room showcasing are examples of the various services of home redesign. Melanie states that “quite often transformations can occur in just one day.”
