Over the years many people have asked me what is important to consider when you hire an Interior Designer. I hope that after reading my article below you will get the help you were looking for.
Always ask yourself the 5 questions contained in this article.
-- Do you feel inadequate when it comes to home decorating?
-- Have you made home purchases but they are still in the closet or garage because you don't know what to do with them or where to put anything?
-- Are you at odds with a spouse or roommate when it comes to decision making for the design project at hand?
-- Are you having a hard time agreeing with your spouse or roommate when it comes to home or apartment decorating?
-- Are you unsure of your personal style and exactly what you like when it comes to home decorating?
If you've answered yes to any of the questions in this article, then it is possible you could use the help of an Interior Designer. You won't regret your decision I promise.
One of the biggest reasons to hiring the consultation services of a Designer is that they have the expertise to turn your vision of comfort and beauty into a living reality. This could mean buying the wrong furniture or choosing the wrong paint colors. Mistakes can be costly! Interior Designers are experts in their field just like plumbers or electricians. Each has a particular set of trade skills they have learned through education and experience.
Now I'm not saying that all Interior Designers are alike on the contrary. If you ask five Designers about how a room should be designed, you will get five different answers!
So how do you hire the right Interior Designer? First ask friends or family. Word of mouth is great advertising for any Designer. Perhaps a co-worker has had good experience with a Designer.
Look for a Designer that displays confidence in his or her abilities and your Designer should respect what YOU desire as a final end result in your interior space.
As a part of their consultation, they can provide you with an array of services that will bring your project alive. These services may include: space planning, color concepts, furniture selection and a number of key elements you need to harmoniously come together to accomplish your objectives.
You will want to be clear about your design intentions and express exactly what your ideas are and how you want your interior space to look. Even if you don't know exactly what you want, a good Designer will always bring it out of you.
It is not so important as to how long the Designer has been in practice, rather that he or she is on the "same page" as you.
Ultimately the goal of the Designer is to keep the client on track. But the connection or "synergy" must exist between Client and Designer and so personalities must work well together.
Interior Designers are also valuable because they have a variety of special vendors at their fingertips that can help get the job done. They know the "Who's Who" in the industry, who to go to, and more importantly, who not to go to. The consumer does not have this in-depth knowledge, so therefore this is invaluable.
You can ask for referrals from your Designer, although some may not give that information out due to client privacy.
You can ask your Designer what types of projects they have completed and if they are experts in home or office design, residential or commercial. Prices will vary so don't think you can't afford one. Even if you are on a budget, many Designers will work for you. Most charge by the hour and it can range from $50 to $300 an hour and upward depending on the design project.
