Decorating Renovated Properties
If you decide to work with home "flippers," you're potentially going to end up working to decorate homes with old, unique features; depending on the amount of renovation done on the flip, that is. Most home flippers want to preserve the original features of a home, especially if it's in a community where the vintage style is trending. Which can make your job a little more exciting, but slightly complicated. You'll have to come up with creative ways to use old features and bring them to life again with modern methods.
Working with a flipper, or home investor, is slightly similar to working with a new home builder. Sometimes your client will renovate a property from the ground up. Other times, they renovate bits and pieces to bring life to the house, without needing to replace every feature. This means you'll have a variety of styles and designs that you'll work with. With a new home builder, they tend to have a similar look they tend to lean towards in their properties. You will get used to these similarities and can usually work around them. With renovated properties, you'll be working with a wide variety of home interiors to bring its best features to light.
WHAT TO EXPECT WORKING WITH RENOVATED HOMES
Unique design features that require more time for planning.
You may be required to focus on preserving features of the home that showcase its age.
You'll need a large variety of furniture pieces to match the variety of flipped homes.
Because most flips are meant to be re-sold, you'll need storage for the furniture that isn't in use.
