Are you unsure if you need an interior designer for your upcoming home project? Well, the fact that you’re already here usually means yes, you do. You already know there can be pitfalls when planning, selecting, and installing your home remodel all on your own. Whether it’s a full-on renovation or just an update to your furniture and decor there is a lot that can go wrong, and your interior designer is there to help you navigate the magical and messy side of your interior design project. Let’s dive into the three biggest benefits hiring an interior designer gives, and what problems we can help prevent.
Hire an Interior Designer To Avoid Expensive Mistakes
Hiring an interior designer can help you avoid expensive mistakes. Choosing new paint or flooring for your home is overwhelming, and a decision that is going to impact (likely) the next decade of your home. Not only will your interior designer help make sure the style and colors you choose will last the test of time, but we can help you make informed decisions on your materials and the impact your selection has on quality.
Furniture Scale is Off
Expensive mistakes can happen even if you’re only upgrading your furniture. We all have that friend who purchased the oversized sectional that didn’t fit through the front door- or if it did it looked hilariously huge in their living room. Or maybe I’m even calling you out when I say most people buy an area rug that is much too small for their space. Nobody wants to deal with returns, let alone any restocking fees on these oversized items so furniture is easily the biggest mistake I see my clients making.
Budgeting & Investment Opportunities
It reminds me of a consultation where my client had just built a beautiful traditional style home, and wanted all new furniture to fill it. Before we connected they had already purchased two grey mid century modern sofas for their living room, and couldn’t part with them as they just purchased them. If they had brought an interior designer on when planning their new-build, we would have been able to work together to make sure all of the furniture they needed fit the space, style, and budget to take make their empty house become a beautiful, luxurious, and cozy home.
Interior Designers Help to Reduce Overwhelm
Scrolling Pinterest for hours is fun… until it’s not. Your boards end up getting bigger and bigger and your room is still the same. As an interior designer, I’m here to help turn all of those ideas into a plan. Plus we’ll do all the hard stuff like measuring, ordering, dealing with returns and issues, and putting the final decor touches on it so it is a seamless design and not a patchwork scrappy quilt.
Interior designers also help with decision making. We don’t take all of the decisions off of your plate, but for every decision that you do need to make, we already made 100 decisions to get us down to the options we present to you. This not only saves you the headache of searching for all of the options under the sun, but also the time. Would you rather be spending your limited free time on the weekends doing the things you love with the people who matter most, or do you want to drag yourself, your partner, and the rest of your family along to 5 different big box furniture stores with what feels like the same 7 sets of furniture to try to piece together something that matches your vision? (I mean, I know that’s fun for one weekend, but not for the next 6 free weekends if you’re truly looking for a well curated and custom vibe for your space.)
The final bit about the overwhelm I want to mention, is all about curating that custom vibe I just mentioned. You do still get to make a ton of decisions about your home, and we keep it so fun! As your interior designer I’m here to help you curate your authentically aligned home, so there is nothing I’m going to even present to you that doesn’t align with our vision. No scrappy quilt-vibed homes where nothing matches (in a bad way. I do love me a good quilt. Really not doing my point any justice here.)
Collaborating With Your Interior Designer
As your personal interior designer, I’m not here to force anything on you. (Okay, I might be lying just a little bit here but sometimes I find my clients need to trust the process because I’m not the absolute best communicator.) Regardless, I’m here to help your home feel like you. Your home should feel like your personality turned 3D. I’m just here to help you get there by deciphering what you love and what you don’t, creating the functionality you need for your day to day life, and take care of the logistics so that you don’t have to.
