How To Avoid Costly Interior Design Mistakes
In the wake of television shows that make home decorating and design appear so simple and easy it might seem to make sense that you can do it all by yourself. Plus, there are so many options to design your home, considering color palette, furniture selections and accessories; you might be thinking, how can I avoid interior design mistakes? How can I save money long-term when remodeling or buying furniture?
Interior Design is an Investment
The truth is that design mistakes can be very expensive, in terms of time and money and in your overall satisfaction with the final result. To achieve the refined look of an interior designer requires a blend of training and talent that produces successful results only after years of experience. Working with a professional interior designer can help you avoid the pitfalls of a disappointing project and ensures that you are happy with your newly decorated interior.
Both as expert listeners and as a partner for you to bounce your ideas off, we help you stage your design plans to remain within budget while listening and working with you to achieve your lifestyle requirements.
Working with a professional interior designer can help you avoid:
• Issues with material availability and quality
• Color schemes that are bland or uncomplimentary
• Excessive furniture and objects (or are the wrong scale), creating a cluttered look
• Style and fabrics that do not complement or offset from room to room
• Remodels that look like afterthoughts and don’t flow with the rest of the house
• Highlighted areas and lighting that are not used properly
Benefits of using Interior Designer
The benefit to using an interior designer’s services as opposed to a contractor or architect is that an interior designer starts the design with how the people who live in the space use it and works out from there to make the space fit them. It should be both beautiful and functional to be a successful project. An interior design professional begins with the vision of the transformed space.
By enlisting the help of a professional, you will not only save countless hours of researching and shopping, but also the worry and uncertainty about your decisions. An interior designer can save you money by doing it right the first time.
