What You Need to Know About Choosing an Interior Designer
As you make the major decision to undertake a Home Renovation or Remodel project, there are many, many considerations to think about. I want to help you with choosing an Interior Designer that is right for you and the reasons this decision will help you to create your indoor dreams!
At the outset when you begin to interview your professional Interior Designer for your project, be thinking about how much responsibility this person has to bring your vision to life. Think about how important it is to you and be prepared to ask questions and go into your interviews with specifics on Scope, Budget, Time Frame- as well as a key indicator: Do you get along? This last point I want to emphasize a bit.
Service and Communication are strong core values for me and if we want to work together, we want to make sure that we get along! Is there a sense of collaboration? Is there a mutual feeling of trust? Trust is huge! This is where the relationship begins- and where you want to feel secure in the knowledge that you can trust your professional(s) to do their jobs! I suggest interviewing several Interior Designers and ask the same set of questions of each. Be clear on your goals and budget and realistic in your timeline. At this point, you will likely be ‘feeling’ that you have made a stronger connection with one and your ability of choosing an Interior Designer should fall into place.
Another area to think about in choosing an Interior Designer is asking for references and or a sampling of their portfolio. This point is helpful in deciding whether you align in Design Aesthetic and another way of vetting the Interior Designer. Essentially, you want to feel that they can deliver what you want-and if you entrust your Designer to create for you- then your alignment and trust is well on its way to creating that stunning new space!
Lastly, choosing an Interior Designer is about freeing up your time– and how valuable is that?! You have already made the decision to undergo a Home Renovation or Remodel, you have collected images and ideas of your dreams, you are ready to go! The ability of choosing an Interior Designer to save time cannot be stressed enough! We all know that saving time is saving money and after you have chosen your Interior Designer the benefits will come back to you tenfold!
Interior Designers should want to please you! You are collaborating on a very personal level. How do you choose an Interior Designer- Talent, Trust and Alignment!
My joy comes from seeing you happy! I want you to feel that you can spend your time on important things! So feel confident that you are able to sit back and let my purpose and passion do all the work!!
