Things to Consider Before Hiring An Interior Designer
I’ve been designing interiors since 1993, and over time I’ve explored the intricacies of all kinds of design projects.
Contrary to some beliefs, interior design isn't quite as easy as it seems. There are many factors to consider from balancing aesthetics with functionality to selecting materials that meet durability and sustainability standards. Pulling these elements together to attain a positive result can be complex.
Without a clear vision and expertise, doing it DIY can quickly become overwhelming. This leads to costly mistakes, design inconsistencies, and a space that falls short of your dreams.
So, whether you just purchased your first home, are building a new house, or are just looking to renovate your space, keep reading to learn the benefits of hiring a professional interior designer when deciding to design or redecorate your home.
They Bring Experience And Expertise
With a deep understanding of your lifestyle, preferences, and needs, a professional interior designer will tailor a design that suits you perfectly.
In my process, I find it beneficial to meet with clients first for a thorough evaluation of their space and get to know them. By doing this first, I can visually articulate their vision.

Interior designers undergo rigorous training and education to master the intricacies of design, from design principles to materials science. They develop a keen eye for detail and a talent for visualization, allowing them to bring your design concept to life in a way that's both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
They Save You Time And Stress
Have you ever tried giving your home an update only to realize, you don't know where to get the best deal, find a unique furniture piece, or even samples for a finish that flows with the overall aesthetic of your house? It seems easy to pick out pretty things and colors but putting it all together and knowing where to go to get it is another story.
I call this analysis paralysis. The truth is that many homeowners take on renovations and upgrades, only to find themselves overwhelmed and stressed. These projects require expertise and attention to detail. Handling everything yourself can lead to costly mistakes and a final result that falls short of your expectations.
Your project does not have to be a full renovation or new build to hire a designer. Perhaps you have a room that just needs some new life. I offer personalized, curated furniture and accessory shopping as one of my service packages.
Together, pulling from my array of resources, we will transform your space into something fresh and beautiful.

You Get Access To Their Resources And Network
One of the best things about hiring an interior designer is that they have a whole network of professionals and resources at their fingertips. From skilled carpenters to electricians, and many other experts in the field.
When you work with a designer, you get to tap into that network, which means you'll get:
The right professionals for the job
Fair prices for materials and services
A streamlined design and construction process
