I am an Interior Designer myself, but I understand why you must think that hiring an interior designer is just a luxury and we can do it without one. Yes, you can do it without one, but you if want to do it right, hiring a designer is a MUST. It is not just a luxury, you will realize it once you'll start handling your site on your own.
There are many difficulties one might face throughout the entire process of remodeling or building their home from scratch. Let's have a look as of why hiring an interior designer is important for you and how they make your life easier and spaces better.
1. Will help you define your style
If you’re not 100% sure what style, color, design theme you should follow while designing your space, a professional interior designer will save you from this dilemma. An interior designer can help you identify your own unique style and present ideas around that.
A job of a designer is not just to design a space and deliver it on time, but, any designer worth their salt will always try and understand their client, they will understand you first, your needs and requirements from you space and then plan accordingly.
2. Unique and clever ideas
You must have had a slight idea of how you want your home/any space to look, but a professional interior designer will always take your ideas up a notch and make it unique for you.
People nowadays just copy stuff from Pinterest and apply all that to their own space, but how would it make your space unique? The job of a designer here is to make your space unique, make it a little ‘special’ just for you. Even if you have that tricky room or a tricky corner in your home which you ‘for the love of god’ cannot figure out what to do with, how to design it, but a designer will always have a trick or two up their sleeve for creating that ‘wow factor’ in any of your space.
3. Liaison
A professional designer will act as a stronger bridge between you and your contractors or your architect and can ease out the designing and planning process at the earliest stage. Also, designers are trained in a way to find things that might get overlooked by you, your architect or any of your contractors. Each detail and precision is marked out by a designer properly.
4. Will deliver a finished project
I’ve heard people say that we have been setting up our home décor since a few months and no matter how much or what we do, it never feels complete or satisfactory. A well designed home done by a professional with proper planning and aesthetics will make you feel content and give you an ultimate joy to live in it. As everyone knows well, good interiors can truly enhance your day-to-day live.
5. Save money
Talking about finished project, a professional designer, since it hall happens with definite planning and steps can help you save money, you can go to market, you will definitely get tempted to buy this stuff and that stuff just because it looks pretty without even considering ‘would it go with my style of interior’? your designer can give you a clear vision if an element will compliment your design and hence save your money.
Also, they know where to buy the best things from at lower prices. Even if you have a tight budget, a good and experienced designer would know how to tackle that situation and give the best of your home. Hiring a designer can help you to avoid costly mistakes that will definitely help you save money.
6. Save time
Just like hiring a designer will benefit you financially, a designer will also save you on time. A designer already has a trained sense of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done, and they’ll be able to anticipate any obstacles that may come up.
7. Ensure functionality
Scrolling through your Pinterest or Instagram feed you must have seen so many interior inspirations and scenes, you might have though to yourself ‘’ want exactly that’, but do you ever think, is it functional? Will it be suitable for the area I have, the place where I live in or easy to maintain? No, right!!
Here’s where your designer will guide you through why you should or should not copy that pinterest style in your home. You get all the benefits of a professional with a design education–designers and decorators understand how to create a functional space that is also stylish.
Designers can also get you furniture, fabric, and materials that are trade-only and not accessible to everyone else. People notice a well-designed home. Try to do it by yourself, and you’re stuck juggling the many elements that go into designing that a designer is specifically trained to do so and has the space planning know-how and essential design tools. And when they’re done, not only will your home look beautiful and cohesive, but it’ll be well thought out and highly functional.
8. Better resources and contacts
Hiring a designer will help you easily find an electrician, plumber, and/or contractor that you can trust. You get all the benefits of a professional with a design education–designers and decorators understand how to create a functional space that is also stylish. Plus interior designers often work closely with architects, interior design firms, interior decorators, and more, all who have formal training.
Designers also have access to tons of product and fabric that is not available to the general public. With these resources, an interior designer will create a space for you that looks collected and unique (instead of the big box retailer stuff everyone has in their home).
9. Professional services
When you hire a trained designer, you get an immediate plan of action for your space. Professional interior designers went to school and had several apprenticeships to do what they do.
A trained pair of eyes will see things you’re guaranteed to miss. Interior design is a delicate balance of art and science, and good interior designers have studied both, so they know how to put them together.
10. Increases resale value of your home
All of this expertise and pizazz doesn't just add aesthetics but also add value to your home. This definitely goes without saying, when your home looks beautiful and functional, it will for sure increase the value of your home.
