Review

Any library strong in either interior decoration or business titles simply must have REARRANGE IT! The author's been professionally rearranging homes in California since 1986: her home-based designer tips lend perfectly to those who would operate and foster home-based work while her case studies of clients, tips on what to charge and how to rearrange, assessments of what homeowners need most, and how to turn a chaotic home feel into a design masterpiece makes for clear, specific suggestions. While those selling homes and real estate agents will find this of key interest, so will both those seeking to make a business of home arranging and homeowners just seeking a more logical arrangement, making for a wide-ranging recommendation suitable for any public lending library. --Midwest Book Review

Product Description

HOW YOU CAN BECOME A HIGHLY PAID REDESIGNER. Do you go crazy in other people's homes because everything is in the wrong place? Would you like to turn that craziness into cash? Now you can make outstanding profits arranging furniture and accessories for others! Interior Redesign is the creative use of professional arranging techniques to transform a client's home from ordinary into extraordinary in a matter of hours by moving and arranging the furniture and accessories the client already owns. It is one of the easiest and most rewarding businesses in the design field today. Now Barbara Jennings, the West Coast pioneer of interior redesign, offers readers a way to improve, enhance, enrich and dramatically grow their income with their own home based redesign business. No experience necessary - no degree necessary.

As director of the Academy of Staging and Redesign (hosted at Decorate-Redecorate.Com), Jennings explains the best, easiest and most profitable ways to start, grow, manage and sustain a highly successful redecorating business. She brings 38 years of experience in home business development together with decades of interior design expertise in this large format, practical manual that reveals in simple terms the how-to strategies of top professional re-designers. She teaches readers exactly what to say and do on their half day or full day projects. A very simple, low risk business to learn, readers will discover how to transform a home in a matter of hours using just what is there, then making suggestions as to what additional products and services the homeowner could acquire, if needed. The manual provides both business setup and superb marketing training, as well as design training, and the author suggests plenty of additional training and visual aids that could be acquired which will be helpful to readers as they build their business and market their services to consumers. Readers will learn to integrate, advance and deploy workable, sustainable methods that lead to confidence, empowerment and strong profits, even in a tough economy.

Written in a no-nonsense, yet personable style, Rearrange It! teaches readers who want a thriving interior redesign business:

  • how to prepare themselves professionally
  • how to get clients and referrals
  • how to conduct consultations the right way
  • how to set up their business and protect themselves legally
  • how to hang art and pictures properly
  • how to market and promote their services in a variety of ways
  • how to get free publicity for their business
  • how to reach potential clients and qualify them
  • how to assess a room quickly and know how to solve the problems
  • 31 examples of arrangement techniques used by professionals (including the most popular furniture arrangement configurations, one of which should solve even the most complicated room)
  • 20 questions to ask homeowners before starting a redesign consult
  • practical do's and don'ts
  • questions and answers
  • important legalities and set up guidance
  • how to develop a business plan
  • the proper business etiquette
  • an extensive furniture and accessory moving tips segment
  • how to charge for services
  • how to get referrals and testimonials
  • how to get other tools and resources
  • and how to get free ongoing training

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Good Training, August 21, 2007
This review is from: Rearrange It! - How to Start an Interior Redesign Business (Paperback)
I was one of those people who almost took an expensive seminar to learn how to do this business. How fortunate I am to have run across this excellent book on the subject instead. It was much larger than I expected it to be and packed full of just the kind of information I was hoping to find from how to get started, how to conduct appointment, how to set up and so forth. Not only does the author share her knowledge and experience generously, but she provides access to many additional resources she also provides to give you a well-rounded education to do the business with confidence. This book is filled with practical guidance and I will refer to it often, I'm sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Source!!, February 27, 2008
This review is from: Rearrange It! - How to Start an Interior Redesign Business (Paperback)
As an interior designer, I was looking to expand my business into the home staging arena, but wasn't really interested in spending thousands of dollars on one of those 3-day courses. After ordering and reading the reviews from the author's Home Staging for Profit: How to Start and Grow a Highly Profitable Home-Based Staging Business, I stumbled across this book and am very thankful that I found it. As a designer, it provided knowledge that I already was trained in, however I thought it was a good refresher, because it reminded me of things that I had forgotten. I thought the author did a great job again in providing an in-depth guide about interior redesign. I found this book as well as her other to be quite informative, easy to read and chalked full of great tips and examples. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in running their own interior redesign business.
