IRIS (Interior Redesign Industry Specialists), an international, nonprofit organization of professional redesigners and stagers, announces October as IRIS Get Redesigned Month, a national industry-wide event dedicated to raising awareness of the benefits of redesign and of hiring a professional redesigner.

IRIS members are professional interior redesigners trained in the practice of using what a homeowner already owns to create a new, warm and inviting environment. Almost 1,000 IRIS members are available to assist.

The IRIS website is www.weredesign.com

"What better time of year than fall, before the holiday rush, to give your home an economical facelift?" said Patti Glover, IRIS member and founder of Decorate In A Day! in Moorpark.
