Welcome back to Home Design Chat with Nancy. If you are new to my show, I am Nancy Hugo, a certified kitchen designer.

My podcasts are all about your home…how to plan, design and execute your remodel and much more.

Over the 16 years that I have done podcasting I have had many guests and have covered many subjects. Most of them are educational...actually all of them have been interesting and educational.

Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica, a wholesale tile showroom in Scottsdale is my monthly guest co-host and back today to talk about a very interesting subject.

Gil and I have talked many times about how the design process is changing. So that's our subject for today!

Remodeling your home should be exciting but if you hire the wrong designer, that dream project can quickly turn into a stressful, expensive, and disappointing experience. The relationship between homeowner and designer is like a partnership — built on trust, communication, and shared vision.

Here’s how to spot the red flags, avoid costly mistakes, and make sure your next project runs smoothly from start to finish.

• Communication is a struggle
• Designer is not accompanying client to showrooms
• The chemistry just isn't there
• The budget keeps shifting
• Project management falls apart
• The design doesn't reflect the client (homeowner)
• The cost of the wrong designer

Listen to my weekly podcast to learn everything about your home, what the current trends are, how to design, plan and execute your remodel and much more
