5 Reasons You Should Hire an Interior Designer
Many people think they don’t need an interior designer when they start their home remodel. They might think that it’s an unnecessary cost to the project or they might not understand everything a designer can do (see our other blog, “Interior Decorating vs. Interior Design”). This month’s blog will cover 5 reasons you should hire an interior designer! Let’s get started!
Efficient Project Management
An interior designer thoroughly and systematically understands the design and construction process. Every project starts at Point A and needs to end at Point Z. A designer can make sure that you don’t have to stop at Points B, C, D… or revisit Point A when you are almost to Point Z. A designer can help you set clear goals, expectations, and outcomes for a project that save you time, money, and energy.
Project Management keeps a project running smoothly and safely!
2. Trustworthy Connections
A kitchen remodel can bring in finish carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, countertop fabricators, flooring installers, and more! It is time-consuming to find options for each of these trades, have each one provide estimates, portfolios, and references, and research each one to make sure they can complete the work in a timely and professional way. Interior designers have established connections with excellent tradespeople that they trust and know already and can streamline the hiring process for you!
Interior and exterior projects often require many different tradespersons to create your dream space!
3. Simple Sourcing
As a consumer, you are inundated with thousands of vendors all selling the same product. Just search “white subway tile” and you will have thousands of options that are all similar with varied pricing and retailers. How do you sort through them all? Interior designers help you to sort through the nonsense and bring the right product to you! Instead of thousands of options, a designer might provide you with 1 or 2 options that fit the needs of your project exactly.
Sourcing materials can be overwhelming, but designers know how to sort through them all for you!
4. The Dream Team
“Teamwork makes the dream work.” It’s no different with interior designers and their clients. Good designers advocate for their clients, making sure that the project is going according to plan and that the client is happy. Designers have your back when problems arise in the design process and they always try to work with you to provide the best solutions to your design problems. Designers and homeowners build incredible spaces when they work together.
Designers have your best interests in mind and advocate for your needs!
5. Higher ROI
Remodeling your home is an investment and it’s one that often rewards the homeowner later on. Homeowners who engage an interior designer in their remodels have a higher ROI or “return on investment”. Why? Because the work is done correctly and efficiently. High-quality materials, tradespersons, and design work all contribute to a higher ROI.
A well-designed home is a valuable one.
Hiring an interior designer for your next remodel is a great way to ensure that the project runs simply and efficiently and gives you the greatest return on investment! How, though, do you choose the designer that’s right for you? Stay tuned for our next blog to see how!
