Every year on April 23rd, National Take a Chance Day encourages us all to step beyond the familiar and dare to dream bigger, bolder, and maybe even a little bit wilder.
​
Most of us have unaccomplished goals or dreams. What if this was the day to take the chance to make them happen? Even if it is just the first step toward that goal, it will be one step closer than before.

As a residential design professional, you know that every great home begins with a leap of imagination. Today, let’s celebrate the spirit of risk-taking that fuels our most inspired designs.

What if today, you sketch the idea that’s been nudging at the back of your mind, try a material you’ve never used, or propose a concept that’s just a bit outside the box?
​
Some of the world’s most iconic buildings exist because someone dared to color outside the lines.
​
​Zaha Hadid, for example, drew inspiration from abstract art and the fluid forms of nature, blending them into architecture that seemed to defy gravity and convention.

Take a Chance Day isn’t just about grand gestures, though. It can be about the small, daily decisions to push boundaries and trust your creative instincts.
​
Whether you’re experimenting with a new layout, collaborating with a different discipline, or simply reimagining a familiar space, today is your invitation to play, to wonder, and maybe to surprise yourself (and your clients) with something extraordinary.
​
​Taking chances can be scary. However, embracing calculated risks can lead to personal growth.
