"Funny how seeing it visually can completely shift your priorities... and your budget, thankfully!"
Yeah, visuals definitely help, but I'm curious—do you think sometimes these mock-ups might actually limit our imagination a bit? When we redid our kitchen, the designer showed us a 3D layout that made the island look way too big. Almost scrapped it entirely, but then I taped out the dimensions on the actual floor and realized it wasn't nearly as cramped as the rendering made it seem. Ended up keeping the island, and now it's honestly my favorite part of the kitchen.
Makes me wonder if relying too heavily on digital visuals could sometimes steer us away from good ideas. Maybe it's worth combining mock-ups with some old-school methods like taping or cardboard cutouts to get a more balanced perspective? Curious if anyone else has had similar experiences where the visualizations didn't quite match reality...
