Summer Isn’t Just for Vacations – It’s for Vision
While everyone else is in vacation mode, savvy homeowners know that summer is the perfect time to start thinking ahead – especially when it comes to creating a home they love living in come fall. Whether you’re considering a design refresh, updating key spaces before the holidays, or finally tackling that renovation that’s been on your mind, starting now gives you the time and space to do it right.
At Ivish Interiors, we’ve seen the difference early planning makes. It allows for thoughtful decisions, better timelines, and ultimately a more enjoyable design process – without the stress of last-minute rushes.
Why Designers (and Contractors) Book Up Early
By the time September arrives, design calendars and contractor schedules are often full. That’s because many clients wait until fall is already in full swing to begin and by then, it’s often too late to complete a project before the holidays. When you start planning in July or early August, you’re ahead of the curve. You get first choice on timelines, more flexibility, and more room to make the decisions that matter – not the ones made under pressure.
Plus, if your project involves renovations, custom cabinetry, electrical changes, or coordination with trades, early planning is essential. Good design isn’t rushed and neither is great craftsmanship.
Lead Times Are Still a Real Thing
Even in 2025, we’re still navigating lead times for certain furnishings, lighting, drapery, and finishes. While timelines have improved, many of the custom or higher-quality pieces our clients choose are made to order , and worth the wait. That said, waiting too long to begin the process could mean not getting everything in time for your desired install date.
Designing now allows us to source, schedule, and deliver in a way that feels calm, not chaotic and ensures your space is truly ready when you need it.
Summer is the Perfect Planning Season
There’s something about summer that brings a lighter energy. Longer days, a slightly slower pace, and fewer packed schedules create the ideal window to focus on your home. Whether you’re away on holiday or enjoying time outdoors, this season gives you a bit more breathing room to make thoughtful decisions without the pressure of school schedules, hosting duties, or holiday countdowns.
It’s also the perfect time to meet with your designer, review options, and start shaping your vision without being rushed. The goal? A beautifully finished space you can enjoy fully when the season changes.
