WHY TO HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

INTERIOR DESIGNERS ARE PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED

I have spent years educating myself, first with two degrees in Interior Design and Graphic Design, as well as studying and passing to be a NCIDQ Certificate holder, then in my career experiences, honing the ability to conceive of and execute projects.

DESIGNERS BRING FRESH EYES AND UNEXPECTED IDEAS

I can identify the potential of a space or its existing trouble spots immediately, then provide creative solutions. (Maybe all of that furniture you inherited from your in-laws doesn’t work very well!)

One of the most important parts of the design process is getting to know the client through careful listening, observation, and note-taking during the initial meetings, when style, palette, and goals for the project are discussed. I ask a series of questions to cover as much ground as possible about aesthetics as well as the anticipated use and function of a space.

Topics like frequency of use, anticipated changes in the family structure, and favorite patterns or colors are important to discuss, to ensure that a space will meet your needs and taste for years to come.

ACCESS TO AN INSIDER NETWORK OF TRADESPEOPLE

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a designer is knowledge of the finest craftsmen, the most careful contractors, and the most reliable subcontractors. If you’ve thought about hiring a contractor to do your kitchen renovation, you may have found yourself immediately overwhelmed by figuring out whom to choose—and then trying to decipher who can actually get the job done, or who will even take your project.

COMMISSIONING CUSTOM ELEMENTS NOT READILY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC

Designers are truly only limited by our imaginations, and the design options we can come up with are almost limitless. Thanks to access to custom cabinetry, fabrics, wall coverings, furniture pieces, case goods, light fixtures, and more, we know where to have a custom rug made that perfectly complements your space, or how to draw up the closet of your dreams.

YOU’LL GET IT RIGHT, ONCE AND FOR ALL

Doing things yourself means taking on a lot of risks, and there’s no guarantee that it will come out the way you anticipated. (Not to mention the time you’re spending to make everything come together or the stress of figuring things out when they don’t go as planned).

Working with an interior designer means that the design will be well thought out from the beginning and the resulting spaces will truly enhance one’s day-to-day living.
