Bad Design Costs

Why Bad Design Isn’t Worth It
We often talk about the value of good design, but it’s just as important to consider the cost of getting it wrong.
Good design isn’t just about looking nice. It improves how a space works, how it feels, and even how efficiently it operates. A well-designed home or building is an investment, it saves money and stress over the long term, while making life more enjoyable for everyone who uses it.
Bad design, on the other hand, hits you in more ways than one. Poor layouts, awkward spaces, or uncomfortable living conditions aren’t just annoying, they’re expensive. Fixing these issues often means refurbishment, replacement, or ongoing maintenance, which adds up fast. And it’s not just the dollars; bad design can disrupt daily life and reduce the usability of a space.
The takeaway? Spend wisely at the start. Investing in thoughtful design means fewer headaches, lower costs, and spaces that work beautifully for years to come. Skimp on design expertise, and you might pay the price in money, comfort, and quality of life.
