5 THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN HIRING AN INTERIOR DESIGNER

​So you’ve decided your home interior needs a makeover. Awesome!
 
But sometimes, when you start planning your perfect interior, things just don’t line up. That chair doesn’t quite match your floor or you can’t find that fabric you fell in love with on Pinterest. But rest that busy head of yours… an interior designer can.
 
Interior designers put all of the pieces of the puzzle together – and wrap it in a pretty, neat bow.
 
Here are 5 things you might like to consider when you’re working with a designer.
 

1. The right designer for the right décor. There are a wide variety of decorating styles, so there are many types of interior designers too. Make sure your research is broad enough to understand the designer’s niche and specialty, so you get the style of interior you’re looking for. Avoid a ‘design disaster’ and be clear from the stat on the style you want – and what they can offer.

 

1. Mind your budget. There are designers to suit budgets of all shapes and sizes. So, before you start the working with an interior designer, have a budget for your project in mind – and tell your designer, so they know exactly what they’ve got to work with.

 

1. Theme of décor. Do you have a specific theme in mind for your house, a room, or a particular space? Your designer will love to hear your thoughts, so they can turn your vision into an even better reality.

 

1. Deadlines. Now, this may seem obvious, but it’s important for you both to be clear on. Discuss a realistic deadline with your designer. Keep in mind things like renovations or special events coming up, so you’ve got enough time to get the interior design completed. Be patient. Good design, like anything creative, takes time. 

 

1. Trust. This is a big one. Reinventing your home’s interior is both exciting and nerve-wracking – but remember, you’re working with a professional. Enjoy the process but let your designer drive. It’ll be worth it.

 
You don’t have to be famous to hire an interior designer. But the joy of living in a space that’s had a professional designer’s imagination, eye and touch will give you a taste of it.
