Why Hire an Interior Designer?

If you’re contemplating hiring a licensed general contractor to do a major renovation, you may want to consider hiring an interior designer to work with your contractor. Yes, design professionals do add to the overall cost of a project, but they also bring value.

The Time Factor

If you have a busy lifestyle you know how important your time is. There are countless choices and decisions involved with a major renovation. Why not hire someone who will simplify the process for you? A good design professional can do this.

The Financial Factor

While it does cost money to hire a design professional, it may not cost as much as you think. Rates can vary depending on the scope of work. Experienced design professionals know how to get you the most bang for the buck and they have access to vendors that most homeowners do not.

Professional Assessment

A professional assessment of your situation will lead to a quick action plan. Most interior designers have a bachelor’s degree in their field, and they continue their education by regularly attending trades shows and seminars.

Budgeting and Planning

A designer will research products and prices, saving you time and money. He/she can work with and be a resource to your general contractor as well. This ultimately helps your project stay on schedule and on budget.

Increased Rentals

A beautiful space that combines comfort and functionality leads to happy guests. A design professional understands how to maximize this with your rental company’s marketing of your property.

Home Sale

Interior designers are up to date on the latest styles and trends. If you’re selling your property, they can add a great deal to the aesthetic of your home. They understand what aspects of a home’s interior lead to faster sales and the maximum return on investment.
