What people don't realise is that an Interior Designer can save you money in the long term. Not only do they offer general advice and suggestions for room arrangements, colour schemes and finishes, they can coordinate the total look and advise you on the best furniture, fabrics and home accessories, and even refer you to reputable professionals.
How can an Interior Designer help you?
A good interior designer will offer suggestions for room arrangements, colour schemes, and window treatments, based on knowledge of what is available in your price range and what is appropriate for each use.
If you've just bought a new house, a designer can help you bring the new look together.
Coordinate a floor-to-ceiling makeover. A designer can help you create a dream come true.
An interior designer can help you add the finishing touches that give a room that special look. Keep in mind, too, that one of the advantages of using an interior designer is access to exclusive or to-the-trade items, including fabrics, furniture, and accessories that contribute to your home's one-of-a-kind look.
When hiring an Interior Designer you must feel comfortable or it won't work. Remember, you're working together on your private environment. Evaluate an interior designer during a getting-to-know-you interview. The designer will come to your home for a walk-through. You can see how well the two of you communicate and consider the designer's ideas for your home.
What will it cost?
Fees are normally structured as follows :
- Percentage of the value of the project
- Fixed fee
- Hourly rate
Most Interior Designers are able to supply you with a scale of fees on request, following a briefing from yourself, a budget and a time schedule.
