Why Hire an Interior Designer?

Why hire an interior designer? Let us count the ways…

We love what we do, but understand from a consumer’s standpoint that there are concerns, including cost, that may deter them from committing to a designer. However, hiring an interior designer can actually SAVE you money. You can avoid making expensive mistakes by hiring an interior designer. Read on to hear more of the benefits of hiring a designer.

1. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING

We promise! We have educational backgrounds in interior design and years of experience. We’ve learned from trial and error as well, so let us help you before you have to go through trial and error yourself. The education doesn’t stop for us after college, either. We attend continuing education events and classes to make sure we are current and knowledgeable in our field.

2. WE CAN HELP WITH DECISIONS

Often times, one of the hardest parts of decorating and designing is making decisions. We are here to help. Do you and your partner seem to never find common ground? Do your design styles clash? These are reasons enough to hire an interior designer. We are there with you every step of the way and can be your sounding board when it comes time for selections. We can help you and your partner find common ground and act as a neutral party, ensuring we are hearing and taking your opinions into consideration.

3. WE MAKE EVERYTHING COHESIVE

You may have a great eye when it comes to choosing individual items, but may be lacking in the ability to tie everything together and make it cohesive. That is where a designer can come in. Or maybe you love the antique item from your great grandmother, but don’t know how it will go with the new sofa you’ve been eyeing. We carefully and thoughtfully work towards taking items you love and making everything come together.

4. WE PROVIDE A FRESH PERSPECTIVE

Maybe you are stuck on a certain layout that just doesn’t seem right… you’ve measured everything out and can’t seem to find the perfect furniture placement or pieces. That is where we can step in and provide fresh perspectives, giving you new ideas that you haven’t even thought about.

5. WE HAVE ACCESS TO MORE PRODUCTS

Instead of buying everything off of the floor of commonly known furniture stores, did you know that you can custom order furniture, that there are more selections for tile than you can imagine? Did you know that there are endless options for fabrics for custom draperies? We have a design studio filled with options, and we are experts at pulling fabrics, furniture pieces, wallpaper, and more that you won’t see on the floor of any stores you visit. We have access to the good stuff, the REALLY good stuff and would be more than happy to help you navigate your options! A common misconception is that custom ordered furniture is more expensive than furniture found in a retail store. Better yet, we help put together a piece that is perfect just for you!
