Building With BuildHer

Design Smarter, Not Pricier – Where to Spend (and Where to Save)


Listen Later

Let’s face it—your Pinterest board might have champagne taste, but your project budget is the reality check you need to consider. In this episode, Rebeka and BHC's Head of Interiors Rebecca, dive into the heart of what it really means to design smarter, not pricier.

The key? Understanding the cost implications of your design choices from day one—and learning where a small tweak can save you thousands (without compromising on style).

What you’ll learn:

  • Why starting with a budget isn’t limiting—it’s empowering.

  • How small design decisions can create big cost differences (hello $12K bath!).

  • Smart swaps that deliver luxe looks without the luxury price tag.

  • The hidden structural choices that silently eat into your budget.

  • Why “design now, cost later” is a trap—and how to avoid it.

You’ll also hear real stories (including a $1M design build turned $280K reno win) and relatable laughs as we keep it refreshingly real. Because building beautifully on a budget is completely possible!

Tune in to learn how to take control of your design story—on your terms, and within your means.
