Everyone has heard a renovation horror story before. Costs add up, timelines fall by the wayside, expensive mistakes are made and the end result is not what the owner had hoped for. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Working with an experienced interior designer can help to ensure the experience is a positive one and that the end result reflects your goals. Here are just a few ways they will add value to your project:
- Their professional knowledge will help you navigate the myriad of decisions to be made. They will streamline the who/what/when/where/why and make sure it is executed as it should be, saving you time and stress.
- A designer is well versed in the renovation and decorative process. Their experience will help you to avoid costly mistakes and assist you in meeting your budget.
- Designers see the end result, even at the beginning of the process. They will help translate your ideas into a cohesive plan and make sure that the end result is exactly what you envisioned.
- Working with a designer often has great perks, like getting access to exclusive products at trade-only pricing. These unique products elevate your final design and the material cost-savings can be significant, helping to off-set design fees.
- A well-thought-out design feels cohesive and links the spaces within your home. Good design will increase the value of your home, not only for your enjoyment but for future home buyers as well.
