Does your home need a design refresh or a whole makeover? Are you curious about working with a professional interior designer but don’t know where to start? The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) San Diego chapter offers in-home design advice during its “Winter Spruce-Up” offer, at a price that’s easier on the budget.
The program runs from February through March and provides in-home design consultations that give consumers an easy, no-stress introduction to working with a designer.
“For a $115 donation to ASID, a consumer can consult for an hour with a professional interior designer in their own home,” said event chair Shannon Rice, ASID. The fee s the ASID chapter programs; the designer donates their time.
Rice explains that the designer can help with any design question. Examples include furniture placement and design, color selection, window treatments, aging-in-place solutions, media rooms, kitchen and bath remodels, outdoor kitchens and patios, and multigenerational living.
ASID will pair consumers with the ideal professional based on their individual needs and geographic location.
“Professional design guidance is not a luxury,” said Rice. “Designers can help minimize costs by eliminating costly mistakes and getting the most value for the money you invest in your home.”
Dara Hensley, a former Spruce-Up client, said, “The ASID Spruce-Up program provided an interior designer’s excellent eye and expertise to unclutter, update, and freshen my home. Per her suggestions, which were given in a kind and focused way, I moved a lot of art to a stylish effect, removed unnecessary decor, and moved towards greater spaciousness. ASID Spruce Up afforded inspiration and uplift — greatly appreciated!”
Pre-paid appointments can be arranged at convenient times throughout February and March throughout San Diego County. To arrange a consultation, visit “2025 Winter Spruce-Up” on Eventbrite at bit.ly/ASIDWinterSpruceUp. For additional information, ASID through Eventbrite or email to @casd.asid.org.
