Five reasons why you should hire an interior designer

1. It can actually save you money 

Believe it or not, spending money on an interior designer could save you a fair bit of cash in the long run. Firstly, they will have accounts with lots of the large furniture/ fabric manufacturers, and so rather than buying direct from the retailers, they are able to go straight to the source, shaving off a good chunk of margin. Plus, if you get your room design right first time, you’ll not have to redo it again for years and years, saving you money and hassle further down the line.

2. It’ll save you a lot of time and energy.

So many decisions have to be made when redesigning a space, or starting from scratch with a new home. It can be overwhelming and hard to know where to start. Professional interior designers have tried and tested process in place to ensure decisions on paint choices, lighting, flooring, furniture style and the rest are made in the right order, with rationale behind them. They can take all that decision making away from you, freeing up tones of brain space and time. 

3. You’ll have access to the best local tradespeople.

There’s nothing worse than chasing down trades who are quite simply ghosting you. Interior designers will have their own little black book of the most reliable, local, tried and tested tradespeople, and they can brief them and manage them too, so you don’t even have to worry about it.

4. You’ll be introduced to a whole new list of suppliers.

Interior designers will work with a huge number of suppliers you probably have never even heard of. They will know those who offer the best value for money, are the most reliable and offer great quality product.

5. The space is guaranteed to look fabulous. And make you feel even more fabulous.

I strongly believe that our wellbeing is affected by our surroundings, and so why would we not want to ensure we live in a space that makes us feel content, happy, calm, secure. An interior designer will look at your lifestyle, take into account how you want to feel and what you will be doing in that space, to ensure you end up being surrounded by colour, pattern, texture, materials that you are personally drawn to and make you feel great. You will benefit from years of training and experience, plus that visual design eye. They will come up with ideas you simply would never have thought of and know how to come up with a vision that’s right for you alone, and bring it to life.
