Divorce is a challenging process, emotionally and practically. Whether you’re going through it yourself or supporting a friend, the task of splitting up a family home can be daunting. As a seasoned professional, I understand the complexities involved. While residential interior design is often seen as a luxury service, there are compelling reasons why it becomes essential, especially at the end of a marriage. Let’s explore the top three benefits of working with an interior designer during this transitional phase:
1. Assistance in moving into a new space
When moving to a new home, furniture layouts and space planning become critical. An interior designer ensures that your new space meets your daily functional needs. They’ll help you avoid costly furniture mistakes by selecting pieces with the correct dimensions.
Selling the family home provides both parties with a fresh start, and children can actively participate in designing their new rooms.
2. Assistance in the “Staging” Process
Preparing the Marital Home for Sale:
If you decide to sell the marital home, an interior designer can assist in the “staging” process. They’ll recommend fresh paint colors and help edit personal belongings to showcase the home’s full potential. Since one party often remains in the home until it’s sold, setting up existing furniture can be challenging. Designers can create room vignettes to make the space more appealing to potential buyers.
3. Reinventing Your Home After Divorce
Living with a partner involves compromise when it comes to decorating and design. After divorce, you have the freedom to find your own interior style.
Focus on what you like and enjoy. Whether it’s a minimalist aesthetic, bold colors, or cozy textures, your home should reflect your individual taste.
An interior designer can guide you through this process, helping you create a space that nurtures your well-being and supports your new chapter in life.
Remember, transforming your home after divorce isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. An interior designer will tailor their approach to your unique circumstances, alleviating stress and emotional toll. So, consider seeking professional assistance during this significant life transition. This professional assistance should also include a skilled attorney. Debra Rubin is a fantastic resource.
