Do you have a design dilemma?\u00a0 Want to remodel your home, but don\u2019t know where to start?\u00a0 Are you curious about working with a professional interior designer, but don\u2019t think you can afford one?\u00a0 Do you think your project is too small to merit the attention of a certified designer?<\/p>\n
The San Diego chapter of The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)<\/a> has a solution during its \u201cFall Spruce Up 2026\u201d program. Participants can experience lower-cost, stress-free consultations with a professional interior designer in their own homes. Clients can schedule an hourlong, pre-paid consultation with an ASID designer for a $125 donation to ASID. The donation supports the local chapter\u2019s educational programs, and the designer donates their time.<\/p>\n Clients may register for a consultation online from Aug. 15 to Sept. 7; sessions will then be scheduled in late September and October. Appointments can be arranged at convenient times throughout the month.<\/p>\n \u201cOur objective is to give people the personal experience of working with a professional on a one-to-one basis,\u201d said Kirsten Recce, president of the San Diego chapter.<\/p>\n \u201cInterior designers bring knowledge, creativity and practical problem-solving skills to every project. They take the time to understand each client\u2019s personal style, lifestyle and budget, then help translate those needs into spaces that are both beautiful and functional. By providing professional guidance throughout the process, a designer can help clients avoid costly mistakes, make confident decisions and enjoy a more rewarding design experience.\u201d<\/p>\n ASID has experts in all areas of design, including space planning, staging, color selection, kitchen design, aging in place, ADUs, art and furniture placement, outdoor rooms, historic preservation, media rooms, multigenerational living, universal design, window treatments, and commercial design.<\/p>\n The local ASID chapter will pair consumers throughout San Diego County with the ideal professional based on their individual needs and geographic location.\u200b Clients can also arrange for additional time directly with the designer at their normal hourly rate.<\/p>\n \u201c \u2018Spruce Up\u2019 gives consumers who may have never worked with a professional interior designer a comfortable introduction to the profession,\u201d Reece said.\u00a0\u201cProfessional design guidance is not an extravagance. Designers can help minimize costs by eliminating costly mistakes and using their ingenuity and expertise to stay within your budget.\u201d<\/p>\n To arrange a pre-paid consultation, visit \u201c2026 Fall SpruceUp\u201d on the Zeffy website at bit.ly\/ASID-SD-FallSpruceUp2026<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
