Tips for a Successful Design Studio Appointment

At Menantico Estates, a community of two-acre homesites, with nine different floorplans starting in the $420s, you can choose all of the selections for your new home while still staying within your budget at our well-appointed Design Center

Schaeffer’s design center associates walk you through the process in a simple, productive way. In an effort to make your design center appointment successful, we are offering a few tips below:

  1. Be in the know.

The first step in having a successful design center appointment is to be able to make the most of your time. First, you should become familiar with all of the features that are included in your floorplan, as well as know what your budget is to accommodate any upgrades. Review any necessary options with your sales associate prior to your scheduled time in the design center.

It’s also good to know how you will live within the spaces of your new home in Vineland, NJ. Think about your existing routines and habits, what works in your current home, and what are the reasons you have been looking for a new home. Are there any options that would make your daily routines easier or better? Remember to think beyond the usual spaces of the kitchen and bathrooms, and consider what you might enjoy throughout the other spaces such as the living room, laundry area, and other nooks of the home.

The more information you can know going into your appointment, the easier and smoother this process will be from the start.

  1. Figure out your style.

When it comes to style, colors, hardware, and overall design in your home, the choices can easily become overwhelming if you are not familiar.  If you already have a design style, then you are one step ahead. However, be sure to envision how your décor taste will work in your new floor plan. If you are not sure what your style is, then now is the time to learn about colors, materials, and trends that you would like to see in your new home. Search online for inspiration and read articles on the materials that interest you. For example, learn what countertop material is best for you and your family. Find articles that explain the differences in hardwood flooring options. This is not only a great time to explore your style, but also a fun journey to learn more about these options.

  1. Finalize and follow through.

Once you are in the know and have an understanding of your style, then compile a list of any and all upgrades you might want to add to your home. Be sure to identify those upgrades as either a “must have” or a “nice to have.” Understand what these options are, what they will cost, and know what the bottom line will be in your final purchase price.  At the end of the day, you want to feel great about the choices in your dream home as well as be confident with what you can afford.  If you need to, you can always add some upgrades later after you have settled into your new home in Vineland, NJ.
