Many think, that an Interior Designer is only for the stars or the wealthy. So not true!
We are so thankful for what we learned when practicing high-end design because we now know how to get that pricey look at a fraction of the cost!
As these projects are wrapping up and it’s fresh on our mind, we thought we would share a few reasons why hiring an Interior Designer is a must for anyone, with any budget!
WHY HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER….???
1. Designers can save you money.
When making interior selections and decisions for one room or your entire home, it can be overwhelming and it’s possible that you’ll make purchases or choices on items that are either not worth the cost or won’t “live” for long. With a Designers assistance, direction, and know-how, they can steer you in the right direction so the entire space can come together as a whole. Let me ask you this – How many times have you purchased 2,3, or 4 different gallons of paint to repaint a room and you still weren’t satisfied? Maybe once or twice?? Be honest… With a Designers perspective, big bucks can be saved, along with the countless wasted hours. That leads us to our next reason on why to hire a Designer…
2. Designers can save you time.
Think about all the time wasted by buying items, not being happy with them once at home, and then returning them. Has that happened to you once or twice? When we work with clients, many never step foot into a store or showroom (unless they want to), because we bring samples, images, and pieces to their home. Not bad, right?!. We won’t even get to the point on how much time a Designer can save you with all those gallons of wrong paint.
3. Designers think outside the box and give a fresh perspective.
The mind of a Designer is simply made up differently. We can see things that others may not and we think outside the box to provide fresh ideas and a unique perspective for a space.
4. Designers create and work within a budget.
A good and experienced Designer will work within your budgetary means (and/or tell you up front if your scope is/isn’t possible within your budget) and make a plan before anything is purchased.
5. Designers listen.
When working with a Designer, the designs are exclusively for you and your project. We listen to our client’s needs and wants to direct / assist them so the result is a space that reflects their personality and style.
6. Designers push you.
Designers are trained to know scale, proportion, color, size, texture, etc. so that a space is unique and personal, and not directly taken out of a catalog. We like to introduce elements into a space that our clients wouldn’t have chosen without us. Sometimes pushing the limits truly makes for an amazing result.
7. Space Planning.
Determining the best furniture layout for a space is critical in how the room functions and how it reads aesthetically. When we meet with a client, we discuss the pieces that they want to repurpose or eliminate, and what needs to be added. Planning the space is HUGE (and our favorite part)!
8. Project Management.
Whether a homeowner desires a few new accessories or an entire kitchen renovation, alot of time and effort is needed for project management and coordination.
9. Designers have passion.
We live and breathe design. From our blog to our business, design is what we know and what we do, day in and day out. It’s not just our job, but a hobby and career that we’re truly passionate about, which is reflected in every one of our creations.
10. We have contacts.
Designers have access to trade only resources that are not often available in retail stores and are often deeply discounted from retail costs. Additionally, being in the design / building field, Designers often have formed relationships with kitchen consultants, millworkers, plumbers, electricians, etc. We can get the right people for the job!
I hope you learned a little something, especially that working with a Designer is attainable for anyone with any space and any budget!
