7 Benefits of Hiring an Interior Designer

Most people believe that interior designers spend all day picking out pretty things, but in reality, we do SO much more for you than that!Today I'm taking you through the top 7 obvious and not-so-obvious advantages of having an interior designer on your team.

1. A Depth of Interior Design Knowledge

When you hire an interior designer, you’re not just getting someone who knows how to make a space look good. You’re getting a professional who is backed by deep knowledge of our industry — the best materials for longevity, the most efficient path to your dream home, when to save vs. splurge, etc.We also attend design events regularly to keep ourselves armed with the most up-to-date skills and knowledge. This expertise has taken years of study and experience to accumulate, and when you hire us, we put it to use for you.

2. Expert Project Management

Any renovation comes with its fair share of hiccups, but having an experienced interior designer managing your project is a time- and money-saving asset. Our sharp and experienced eye helps avoid mistakes that could hurt your budget or delay your timeline. Not to mention that we oversee the project, manage tradesmen, and update you regularly at each project phase.

3. Time Saved Every Step of the Way

That interior design knowledge, product management, and network of skilled pros? All that adds up to time SAVED for you. Not only do you not have to research things like different flooring options (we’ll give you our best advice), but you don’t have to leave work every day to receive deliveries and oversee installations, or spend weeks (months, even) assembling a team.

Our expertise and project management skills not only ensure the most efficient path to your dream home — we save you a TON of time getting there. Three cheers to that!

4. A Network of Skilled Professionals

Part of the appeal of hiring an interior designer is getting all of the highly skilled and trusted professionals that we’ve gathered into our inner circle. These are the people — tradesmen, craftsmen, vendors, etc. — we’ve worked with before and trust to bring your dream to life. The best part? You don’t have to go search for these great folks yourself!

5. Unparalleled Peace of Mind

And speaking of time saved, interior designers are also notorious for saving you headaches too. When you have someone you can trust to bring your vision to life at the highest possible degree of professionalism, well, that means you get a whole lot of inner peace along the way. What bliss!

Spaces Unique to Your Aesthetic and Lifestyle

Now, let’s talk about the actual design aspect of our job. (Surprised that we’re just now getting to it? Who knew we did all that other stuff?)While you might covet neighbor's home (or the ones in House Beautiful), it’s also true that you probably don't want a space that looks just like theirs. You have your own personality and lifestyle, and it should be expressed!
We'll help you refine your aesthetic and what’s meaningful and inspiring to you to create a space that speaks to you and how you’ll use your home. This is your home, personalized.

 

7. A Life that will Never Be the Same

Which brings me to the grand finale. When your interior is professionally designed to help you live how you’ve always wanted to, that’s exactly what it does! Maybe you want your master bedroom designed for ultimate rest, or maybe you want your living room designed for entertaining and inspiring conversation. Whatever you want from your life, we use design to help you get there. How incredible is that?!Lastly, I just want to say how much we truly LOVE doing all of these things for our clients. We consider it a privilege to bring homes to life that are beautiful, functional, and inspire our clients’ most rewarding, happy lives. So if you're planning a home project in the coming year, I hope you'll consider inviting us in — we’d love to be on your team.
