The Top 3 Signs You Need an Interior Designer
The biggest misconception about hiring an interior designer is that they will save you money. On the contrary, hiring an interior designer is the best way to ensure that you spend your money wisely and stay on budget.
Having a professionally trained eye working on your behalf will always produce the best results when planning and executing your design from conception to inception. However, where a designer can save you a little bit of money is when it comes to accessing craftsmen and contacts skilled in providing quality work and ensuring that your design is done right.
But how do you know if hiring a designer is right for you? To help you decide, I’m sharing 3 signs you need an interior designer…
1. Do You Know Your Overall Goals?
One of the most important early phases of the interior design process is to listen. We get to know your wants and needs while carefully listening, taking notes, observing, and discussing the project goals. I like to ask tailored questions to cover as much ground as possible, such as:
What styles of decorating do you like?
What type of fabric textures do you prefer?
What colors and patterns do you like?
If you don’t know your big goals, a designer will be able to guide you through the design process and prioritize your projects.
2. Are You Ready to Invest Thoughtfully in Your Home?
A designer's knowledge of where to source materials and furnishings saves time and money. In addition, it streamlines the entire process by transcending the client's vision, overseeing the details, and directing the project.
It is important to establish early on how involved you'd like to be and to trust the process. Furthermore, working with a designer means that they thoroughly think through your elevated space from the very start. There is value in patience, just as there is in investing in an interior designer.
When you choose to hire help, you take the first step in getting your design project done right without the risk of wasting time and resources by attempting the work on your own.
3. Do You Love Entrusting Your Home to An Expert?
If you enjoy being very involved in the design process from start to finish, a designer may not be the best choice for you. While you can still benefit from their professional bank of knowledge, a consultation may be all that you need to aid in your process. After all, hiring a designer is meant to take the stress and delegation duties off your plate!
Even the most creative and fashion-forward minds can struggle with the process of making a design project come to life. It's great if you can create mood boards with your likes and desired design style, and even better if you can envision the design you'd like to bring to life.
As a designer, the professional skillset that I bring to the table is the ability to seamlessly glide through the various project phases needed to meet the project's deliverables successfully. My job is to identify my client's wants, needs, and desires, develop and keep a realistic budget, create and implement an achievable design, and finally supervise delivery and installation.
I want to ensure that your rooms are aesthetically beautiful and functional!
