Nothing To Buy, Nothing To Lose
National Trainer Teaches No Cost Room Makeovers

Evergreen, CO. Forget about knocking out a wall or forking over cash for a bunch of trendy knickknacks that might not match your taste. With interior redesign, a lot of change can be accomplished without a lot of funds, and the results always match your personal style, because it starts with the belongings that already make your house a home.

“Redesign isn’t remodeling. It’s a fast, simple way to give your home or office a bold new look and enhanced functionality by using the furniture and decorative objects you already own, and that’s why it has such a strong appeal,” explains Sandy Dixon owner of Evergreen, Colorado-based Interior Arrangements, Inc., one of the country’s leading interior re-design and real estate staging training companies. “The awareness of redesign and home staging is growing because of the home and design channel programs on TV. It’s an exciting and lucrative field for anyone with a passion for home decorating, who enjoys diversity and using their creative skills.”

Dixon is a member and sanctioned instructor of Interior Redesign Industry Specialists (IRIS), a professional and international association of interior redesigners, whose members are often featured on popular HGTV shows, such as Decorating Cents. “Sometimes people expect us to show up with a painter, an electrician, a plumber - everything short of lights and a camera crew - because that’s what they’ve seen on TV. But redesign is really much simpler than that,” she explains. “It’s a skilled redesign professional working with the homeowner to determine the best usage of each room and arranging various elements to achieve that goal.” Dixon’s Interior Arrangements, Inc. offers 3 and 5-day redesign and staging certification training programs for those interested in the field of interior redesign and/or real estate staging.

While the process of redesign and staging is amazingly quick and affordable, it can help homeowners solve a wide range of practical needs, providing a designer look without the designer price tag. Reducing clutter, moving furniture to improve floor traffic and focusing the room’s function can achieve wonders. People start using rooms they completely avoided before.

Home sales are one area where a little redesign can lead to actual financial rewards. “When a buyer walks into your home, they don’t want to see you. They want to see themselves, living in your space. I show how to accomplish that by eliminating distractions and maximizing space to create a ‘model home’ experience that enhances the appeal of the home. The results can be dramatic, leading to more offers in a shorter period of time,” she adds.

Sometimes you don’t need a reason. And that’s where the true value of redesign pays off. When you’re just tired of waking up to the same blank wall, a redesigner is your best bet for freshening up your home without a huge investment of time and resources. Most redesigners offer one-day makeovers that can give you a new look fast.

“The important thing that people need to know is that redesign is affordable, practical and personal,” Dixon. “If you want a new way to do more with what you have, it’s the simplest way to get there.”

Dixon is also a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), and is a national speaker on sales and marketing topics as a professional member of the National Speakers Association (NSA).
