6 Benefits of Working With An Interior Decorator

By Richelle Langdon on 06/10/2021

Considering working with an interior decorator? Before you finalise plans to council, it’s best to have another, fresh set of eyes assess what’s going on.

  1. An independent designer eliminates the sales person from the equation.
  2. An experienced design professional works for you, with your needs in mind.
  3. An in-home design consultation avoids costly mistakes.
  4. A creative design solution adds value to your home.
  5. A skilled designer educates you and empowers you to make informed decisions.
  6. A documented design solution saves you money by comparing prices ‘apples for apples.’

It’s All In The Planning

An interior designer can suggest things like:

  • Perhaps you don’t need that West facing window; instead you might need additional ‘good’ light elsewhere. 
  • We can provide ideas on structural ways to give some dimension and depth to your new rooms so they don’t end up as boxes with a window. 
  • Or modify a kitchen plan so that it works with your daily agenda (lunch packing whilst providing breakfast etc) rather than assuming you use a kitchen a certain way. 
  • Advise on a tile layout that will make your new bathroom stand out from the neighbours.
  • Let you in on what’s on trend for the next 10 years rather than coming in on the ‘end’ of a trend.  Ways to use ‘style’ vs. trends to keep your home from dating too fast. 

Get in touch with your plans and ideas and we can help!
