5 Reasons why you need to hire an interior designer
Having a beautiful home is something that we all aspire to but wanting something and being able to achieve it can be two very different things.
If you want to get the interior of your home right first-time round, an interior designer can make the process so much easier and far less stressful. Discover our top 5 reasons for hiring an interior designer and learn how they could help you with your renovation or new build project.

Considered design
1) The most successful interior design projects combine the functionality of a room with the aesthetics. A room must be fit for purpose and practical but should go beyond this by looking drop dead gorgeous. If this balance isn’t achieved, it’s the elements that don’t work that attract all the attention.
Storage solutions
Good storage is essential in every home. A good interior designer will be able to help you find the perfect solution that’s both functional and stylish.

2) A lot of our clients hire us because they struggle to visualise their homes potential. With mood boards, concept boards, drawings, image references and sketches, presented alongside fabric and flooring samples, it’s so much easier to see and understand the design for each space and how all the rooms work together. Nothing is left to chance. It’s all in the detail!

A collaborative approach
3) Some people worry that an interior designer will take over and dictate how their home should look. If you experience this, you’ve hired the wrong interior designer! The best results come from a collaborative process. We are here to help homeowners create their very own ‘one of a kind’ home. We curate ideas, make sense of Pinterest boards, and steer clients through what can be a complicated process.

4) Building projects are time consuming. There are so many different things to consider, from the tiles in the bathroom, right down to the best sockets for your kitchen. It can be completely overwhelming if you go it alone, plus there’s the danger of throwing the building schedule off course if you don’t have the right materials on site at the right time. An interior designer can handle all of this, so you have the luxury of approving their designs and chosen products, rather than working it all out for yourself from scratch.

Avoid making costly mistakes
5) One of the most common phrases I hear from my clients is that they don’t want to get it wrong. Mistakes can end up being costly, stressful and can take the fun out of a project. A guiding hand can help you to confirm the brilliance of your own ideas or encourage you to embrace bolder choices. That’s when the magic happens!
