It’s a great feeling when you step back and admire your interior design skills, but the process of getting there can be a tumultuous experience. What starts as a small thought can snowball into a mammoth-sized task filled with frustration and indecision.
Interior design can be one of the most trying times, particularly with large-scale projects where a much-used room is out of action during the makeover.
There are so many decisions to make! Should the living room be cream, white, off-white, or pearl? Should the dining table be on the right or left? Are the bathroom fittings arranged for space-saving?
There’s no need to fret! There is help at hand. There are many apps out there to assist with day-to-day life, and interior design isn’t an exception.
