Do's and Dont's of the Design Center

The design center is a crucial part of the new construction home process, allowing homeowners to choose their cabinets, flooring, and countertops. Builders often limit time spent there to 2-4 hours, making planning essential to avoid stress and overspending. Before going, establish a clear budget and understand what upgrades are feasible. Knowing your design preferences beforehand can streamline decision-making. Structural upgrades should be prioritized as they are costly or impossible to do later. Certain upgrades like kitchen renovations, paint choices, and flooring decisions should be carefully considered at the design center to avoid higher costs or inconvenience later.
