- Why hire an Interior Designer?
- A professional interior designer sees and conceptualizes the BIG picture, whereas owners more often than not, merely focus on individual issues / materials / colors, etc.
- Because their knowledge, expertise, and guidance can help prevent costly mistakes.
- Because interior designers can make the most of what you have and do the required research to find what you need.
- Because they are trained to make the most of available spaces and to create the traffic patterns and furniture arrangements that make daily living functional, safe, comfortable and easy.
- Design Matters! A good design truly improves the way you live
- When should I use a design professional?
- When you are contemplating buying or building a new house…
- When you want to renovate or remodel your living space…
- What should you know before contacting an Interior Designer? (Or how to work with an Interior Designer!)
- Collect clippings from magazines and photos of items and decors that appeal to you.
- Think about colors, styles and effects you like.
- Know your objective and lifestyle needs.
- Establish a time frame in which you would like to work
- What should I budget?
- Letting the designer know what you can afford will help achieve what you want to meet your budget. We will try to get a beautiful look for you for as little as possible.
- For a new (empty) house or condominium you should calculate about 15 to 20% of its total purchase price.
- What happens at the first consultation?
Our initial consultation brings you a highly qualified interior designer to your home or office for an in-depth interview to identify your design objectives and outline the steps needed to accomplish them. This first meeting usually lasts one to two hours. At the first meeting we will:
- Measure and photograph areas to be designed.
- Compile client’s existing materials that will not change.
- What if the Designer imposes their ideas instead of getting my personal taste?
Consulting with an Interior Designer is not about imposing ideas or personal taste onto a client, but rather how a client and designer come together to create a unique interior just for you. It’s about helping the client develop their vision while analyzing their design requirements, and in the end, creating a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Together we can create the dream you have always wanted.
