In the best of times we are all very busy people juggling careers, child care, life and all it’s complexities. These days life as we have known it just doesn’t exist. We are reinventing how we work, shop, eat, educate, worship and entertain ourselves.
No one knows how to do everything, that’s why we hire experts to do things we don’t do well, or don’t know how to do at all ourselves.
So when it comes to re-modeling your home, whether it’s choosing a paint color, or finding the right fabrics, to a complete kitchen or bathroom re-model why should it be any different?
If you’ve been wrestling with the decision of hiring an expert to help you with your design project, here are some benefits derived from working with a professional Interior Designer.
1. Hiring an Interior Designer will save you time.
A designer knows what is to be done and when to do it.
For example; should you put your lighting in first, or replace your floors?
Should you hang your drapes first or paint the walls?
Designers also know where to find any products needed to create the desired look and function of your space. You could spend days searching through dozens of internet sites and shopping every store in town looking for just the right piece. Your designer knows exactly where to go to get the piece that is perfect for your style and function of your space.
2. A Designer will save you money.
Have you ever gone furniture shopping? You fell in love with a sofa and bought it only to find out that it was way too big or way too small for the room?
Have you ever purchased enough granite to tile your entire house, because it was on sale, only to find out months later that the color doesn’t work with your existing stone fireplace or countertops, and it can’t be returned?
Designers know how to coordinate color matching, size and style so they can prevent you from making costly mistakes. They are also used to working with budgets and know how to get the most bang out of a buck and where to spend your money to increase the value of your home.
3. Designer’s have access to Trade Resources and Contacts.
Designers know where shop to find products that are accessible to the trade only so you have more options and choices than what is available from big box stores and retailers. They have referrals to trades people who are reliable and whom you can trust. An Interior Designer has the resources and contacts that can bring your project to the next level.
4. Designers give you the WOW factor.
A designer can see the whole concept and scope of a project, envisioning the whole picture that clients often cannot see.
They can give you the attention to detail from lighting, color palettes, furniture placement and fabric, tile selection, fixtures and window treatments; each appropriate for your lifestyle and taste.
Every space will be beautiful, cohesive, well thought out and functional. Everything will fit perfectly and will be truly special.
Incredibly designed spaces don’t happen by accident,
they are planned, and curated by professionals.
