Interior designers provide valuable insights and solutions to transform spaces into functional, aesthetically pleasing environments. Here are some key advantages of hiring an interior designer:
- Listening to Client’s Requests: A skilled interior designer takes the time to understand your vision, preferences, and requirements. By listening attentively, they can translate your ideas into a well-designed space that reflects your personality and meets your needs.
- Consultations and Expertise: Interior designers offer professional advice and recommendations on design concepts, colour schemes, furniture selection, and materials.
- Contractor Coordination: Interior designers act as a liaison between the client and contractors. They manage and coordinate the work of various professionals, such as architects, electricians, and plumbers, ensuring seamless communication and cohesive design implementation.
- Cost Savings: While it may seem counterintuitive, hiring an interior designer can save you money in the long run. Designers have access to a network of suppliers, artisans you may not know. Additionally, their expertise in space planning and material selection helps avoid costly mistakes or rework. That is why we always recommend planning and designing before inviting a contractor to quote.
- Organised Build Planning: Interior designers create a comprehensive plan for your project, outlining key milestones and timelines. This allows you to plan accordingly, minimising disruptions to your daily life and ensuring that construction or renovation work is completed efficiently.
So to recap, we listen to our client’s requests and we analyse the best way to tackle the project. We design and add all the finishes, fixtures, and fittings the client would like to have as per our previous discussion on style. Based on that design, a contractor can then provide quotes. A contractor needs to know what they’re quoting. So, take a step back, assess the space, let’s design and make the most of the spaces, explore your style and finishes, and then get a cost on the build.
