Layout Redesign

“It was an awesome experience and I tell everyone interested in doing work in their house to consider Arcbazar. You tell them your “design problem,” provide dimensions and/or photos of your place and they work with designers across the world as part of a competition to see who best can solve your problem. I submitted my problem and a few weeks later I reviewed about 10 designs. You pick the top three, they win the “prize” money you put up for them to do the project. I found a contractor to do the work and now I have an open space living room with plenty of storage with additional closets.

I’m writing this about to launch a second competition on arcbazar. The process is amazing! I found myself checking the website every day to see which new designs were going to be uploaded. The process went like this: I told them my design problems and what I hoped the space would feel like. I needed storage on the first floor, a place to store my bike, and to create living room space that was ideal for entertaining. I had trouble with measurements but the arcbazar team helped me figure that out. I took pics, submitted the request and launched the competition. I enjoyed the process over the next two weeks while designers asked questions and began to post their designs. The competition ended two days ago. I had a tough time deciding which one I liked most, but I tell you, the one I picked addressed every problem I had and really, really completes the first floor for me. I am sooo excited to execute this plan. I was originally going to just engage a contractor directly, thinking I could come up with good design but came across arcbazar and thought I’d give it a try. I’m glad I did because what I got was design ideas I never thought of that make the space one I’m very much looking forward to come home to. Totally recommend this process for anyone doing even a small renovation. I’m going to have them design me a deck and landscape my back yard next!”
