THE BENEFITS OF HIRING AN INTERIOR DESIGNER

Why do I need an Interior Designer?

Hiring an Interior Designer for your project whether residential or commercial can make your space inviting, functional and aesthetically pleasing. Most people feel that they can, on their own, obtain this goal. However, what they don't consider is that both time and money can be saved by involving an Interior Designer at the earliest possible moment.

The difference between an Interior Designer and a Decorator is education. There are a lot of talented decorator's out there, but it is a risky choice unless you've seen previous projects that are similar to your particular needs. The wise choice is always an Interior Designer that has a college degree in the field or has attended an accredited Design School. All designers are not created equally. It is extremely important when selecting a designer that you feel that they listen to both your needs and concerns and can stay within your allotted budget.

Designers can solve space planning problems, and fine tune the functionality of a particular area by space planning and room layouts that are "to scale" with the room size. Have you ever been in some one's home that feels like the sofa has eaten the room? Or sat in a chair where your feet won't reach the ground? Or an area rug that only fits under a coffee table? All costly mistakes that can easily be avoided.

Designers can also make the most of what you already own, using existing pieces in others rooms or in different ways. By re-using some or all of your already owned pieces, this will afford you to purchase only the necessary items to give your room a completed look and again saving you money.

How many cans of paint are in your garage? A skilled Interior Designer can select and coordinate your color options. For instance, a client will like a certain color, lets say yellow, but when they've completed their painting project the room looks like a giant Easter egg. What a lot of people don't realize is the magnification and saturation of color in a room. Even though you want yellow, the color may actually need to be brought down in hue as to give the hint of the color instead of the full strength. This takes both experience and education.

Therefore, an Interior Designer may cost you money upfront, but what you gain is a flowing floor plan, properly scaled furniture/accessory selections, great color and fabric choices all reflecting your personal style and sensibilities....priceless.
