Should I Hire an Interior Designer?

     With material prices rising, its no wonder people are hesitant to spend the extra money on a designer. However, it is often worth the extra cost. In this article, we will go over some of the reasons you should hire a designer.  

     The first benefit of hiring a designer is that you can avoid some very costly mistakes. When spending a considerable amount of money, bringing in an expert ensures that your vision – from slab and tile selection, to lighting fixtures and décor is properly executed. 

     In our experience, we have seen homeowners change their mind after they see the materials they chose put together.  Maybe the countertops look washed out now that the backsplash is in, Or a paint color makes the room feel smaller. Both would most likely need to be re done. Perfect examples of how money can get wasted quickly and extend out the project completion date.

     Another benefit of hiring a designer is that they often help the remodel stay on schedule. A designer is responsible for picking out and ordering the materials. Some materials take weeks or even months to come in and in a pinch the designer can pick something comparable that is more readily available.

     The last benefit of hiring a designer is that the designer ensures your vision is successfully brought to life.

With Pinterest, Instagram, and HGTV, clients often come with a general sense of what they want, but it can be difficult to put all your ideas together into one harmonious space. A designer gives you the option to see 3D renderings so you can visualize your completed space before beginning.

     So, should you hire a designer? Our recommendation is YES. 

The larger the remodel, the more you need one. Your designer will help you organize all of your ideas and figure out your unique style, help keep your remodel on schedule, save you money in the long run, and ensure your vision comes to life.
