Do you know how to create a realistic budget for your room design? How much should you spend on your next home project? Most people aren’t sure what their budget should be, or are certain about which quality furnishings to choose.

A clearly defined budget is essential to the success of your decorating project. It should be created with the end in mind and by the quality furnishings you choose.

Clearly Define Budget

When you have a clearly defined budget you’re in complete control of your home project. It ensures you will have enough money for the furnishings you need and the furnishings that are important to you.

A budget isn’t about restricting what you can spend. It gives you permission to spend without guilt or regret. – Dave Ramsey | Financial Counselor

Without a clearly defined budget you’re at risk for experiencing unexpected financial stress and losing control of your home project.

How Much To Spend?

1. What you SHOULD spend on your home project needs to be determined by two important factors… PRIORITIES AND VALUES!

2. Your PRIORITIES need to be specific and finite – Which room will you start first? How much do you want to spend in that area? Should your current plan include decorating one room or two rooms?

3. Your VALUES are determined by the level of quality you expect from each individual item you plan to place in your home project.

Failing to Plan… Is Planning to Fail

~ Alan Lakein | Time Management Author

When you create a realistic budget, you’re prioritizing and planning your home project based on using real numbers of the current cost of furnishings you choose to incorporate into your project.

What’s Most Important To You?

Think about the top three priorities you’d like to accomplish in your room design and write them down. Then consider your expectations of the quality of each product you plan to incorporate in your project.
