San Diego – The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) San Diego chapter has launched a new initiative called the “Summer Spruce Up” program, aimed at providing affordable home design consultations for both homeowners and renters. This program is set to begin with consultations available from July 26 through August 31, after registration runs from July 1 to 15.

Homeowners and renters interested in improving their living spaces can engage in hour-long consultations with professional interior designers, who will volunteer their time. Each consultation requires a donation of $115 to the ASID, which will benefit local chapter programs. This initiative expands the program’s accessibility by now including renters, a demographic often faced with unique design challenges.

Beverly Feldman, president of the ASID San Diego chapter, highlighted the program’s focus on affordability and its relevance to renters. Many individuals living in rented spaces confront constraints related to size and personalization that do not allow for significant alterations without risking their security deposits. The program aims to address these constraints while providing valuable design advice.

Consultation Details

The consultations are designed to tackle various design issues. Participants can seek advice on furniture placement, choosing colors, selecting window treatments, and other home enhancement strategies. Additionally, the designers can assist with specialized areas such as aging-in-place solutions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, optimizing outdoor spaces, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and accommodating multigenerational living arrangements. This versatility allows clients to receive tailored advice based on their specific needs and circumstances.

Matching Clients with Designers

The ASID chapter is committed to connecting clients with suitable professionals based on the individuals’ needs and their locations throughout San Diego County. This approach ensures that homeowners and renters receive the expertise most relevant to their unique situations, maximizing the value derived from their consultation.

Positive Impact of Professional Design

Feldman pointed out that professional design guidance can significantly help avoid potential costly mistakes in home investments. Through informed design choices, clients can optimize their spaces and enhance their home’s overall value. The program’s positive reception in prior years reflects a growing awareness and appreciation of these services among San Diego residents.

Participant Testimonials

Previous participants, such as Ann and Tom LaVoy, have praised the program, specifically highlighting their successful experience with designer Tanya Snyder. These endorsements underline the real-world benefits of engaging with professional designers during the home upgrading process.

Contact and Registration

Interested individuals are encouraged to register for consultations through the provided online platform from July 1 to 15. More information can be obtained by contacting the ASID via email at administrator@casd.asid.org or by visiting the program’s appointment arrangement page. The ASID aims to streamline the process to ensure that all interested parties have the opportunity to improve their living environments.

Looking Ahead

The ASID is currently preparing for its 50th-anniversary celebration in 2025, which aims to highlight the long-standing commitment to advancing the field of design. The “Summer Spruce Up” program not only demonstrates this commitment to current homeowners and renters but also signals a focus on the future impact of design within the community.

As the demand for well-designed spaces continues to grow, programs like “Summer Spruce Up” play a vital role in making professional interior design accessible to a broader audience in San Diego, ultimately aiming to enrich the living experiences of both homeowners and renters alike.
