5 Reasons Why You Should Hire an Interior Designer.
There is still such a misconception about what an Interior Designer actually is and does in such an unregulated industry, but a qualified Interior Designer can be worth their weight in gold and bring so much value to your project and subsequently your life.
As a discipline, it is a lot more technical and covers so much more than simply Interior decoration or styling. If you are looking to reconfigure your layout or start your scheme from scratch, it may be time to call in the professionals to get the most out of your space and see the project through from concept to completion.
Read on to discover 5 (actually 10 because technically each one has 2 on 🤣) reasons that make it worthwhile for you to consider hiring an Interior Designer for your project.
Money & Cost Effectiveness
Hiring an Interior Designer is not something that is for everyone, especially in this current climate, but if you are investing in a property, a business or your forever home, it can save you money in the long run and turn out to be a very worthwhile investment. We can save you money on trade only pieces and incorporate clever budget friendly ways to keep costs down. Ever heard of the saying “Buy cheap, buy twice?’ Oftentimes people feel a sense of urgency to get started and can end up with a blank soul less space that they don’t enjoy spending time in, or panic buy the latest trends available and end up with a space that doesn’t feel like them, only to have to fork out again when they realise that they can no longer live with it. It really doesn’t have to cost the earth, with a few small adjustments, a bit of creativity and know how, you can make a huge impact. It can also add value onto your property or business and come back round for financial gain!
2. Time & Efficiency
Life is a constant juggle, between work commitments, family life, socialising (& everything else that comes with being an adult in the 21st Century) it can be overwhelming at times. Taking on a renovation or interiors project can feel daunting and nigh on impossible when you don’t know where to start. By hiring an Interior Designer, you know that you can take the pressure off yourself and pass on all of the responsibility to a professional who can ensure that the project runs as smoothly as possible, and deal with any problems that may arise. You can also work around a schedule that suits you and your lifestyle alleviating any unnecessary stress.
3. Expertise & Specialisation
There is a common misconception that Interior Design is just picking out paints and nice cushions, which of course it is, but it is also so much more. With our qualifications- years of training and experience- we take into account spatial planning, ergonomics, lighting, colour theory, materiality, functionality and overall wellbeing, as well as aesthetics and impact, and how everything works together. This way we can maximise your space and improve the way in which everyone uses the space.
4. Visualisation & Decision Making
The number one most common thing that I hear in a consultation hands down is ‘I just can’t picture it’. We have so many different ways to showcase our design ideas, from mood boards, concept boards, 2D elevations and 3D visuals or even video walkthroughs. This can alleviate any doubts that you have, stop decision paralysis and give you the confidence to go for it- knowing how it will turn out!
5. Excitement & Enjoyment
And finally, it’s an amazing experience! You can take a space that was underused, and unloved, and turn it into somewhere that you never want to leave and can’t wait to show off to anyone who enters! Hiring a professional gives you the freedom to be brave and make bolder decisions than you ever would have thought about, or dreamed of, and create something that no one has ever seen before. As well as spending a bit of time with someone who will fully share in your excitement, and do their best to make your dreams a reality.
