Five Reasons to Hire an Interior Designer
When the time comes to renovate, settle into, or purchase a new home, the process can be intimidating and personal. It’s a point in your life where you’re making a very important decision for yourself and your family, and not an inexpensive one either.
Typically, during the home buying process, you hire a realtor. Someone to advocate for your needs, search for your dream home’s characteristics, and handle any problems that arise along the way. They’re like your own personal assistant, cheerleader, and bulldog when needed. Without a realtor, you’d likely feel overwhelmed and stressed, and potentially not get the outcome you desire.
This is no different than hiring an interior designer.
Five Reasons to Hire an Interior Designer
An interior designer will tell your story. A good designer will get to know you on a personal level so that they can create a design bespoke to you and your needs. They’ll learn the ins and outs of your daily life, of your family’s interests and needs, and will translate that into a functional design that makes sense for your household.
An interior designer will manage the details – big and small. When doing a large home furnishing project or renovation, there are a million little details to organize. From sourcing materials and furniture, to managing the delivery, receiving, and installation of items, your interior designer will handle it with grace. They’ll also be your liaison – working with contractors, tradespeople and architects to get the space right.
An interior designer will help you stay in budget. Using an interior designer can actually help you to save money. Yes, save money. When you use an interior designer, you’ll avoid making costly mistakes like ordering a piece of furniture that is too big for your space, or choosing the incorrect paint color or fabric. Even the little mistakes can add up into a design you either need to redo, or one that you just don’t enjoy. An interior designer will walk you through the process, helping to allocate your funds in a way that makes sense for your project. Additionally, homes that have been touched by an interior designer will likely have a higher resale value.
An interior designer will create a space unlike any other. With a rolodex of contracts and resources at their fingertips, an interior designer can help you find that unique fabric for your accent chair that no one else will have in their home. They will put together a combination of items that doesn’t show up on your Instagram feed multiple times during your evening scroll. They’ll make your home sing!
An interior designer will save you time. Imagine the amount of time and energy it would take you to not only source furniture pieces or materials for a remodel, but also to track them and handle any disputes over damage or missing items. An interior designer will save you the hassle, and also aid with decision fatigue during the sourcing process.
Whether you’ve recently moved into a new home and need to furnish it, are planning a large renovation, need a home refresh, or are even building a new home, hiring an interior designer is worth the investment.
