5 Reasons To Work With An Interior Designer
It’s a tale as old as time… your collection of saved furniture images on Instagram has reached 1000, and you have a whole board on Pinterest dedicated to the style you want for your lounge room. You’ve spent hours searching for the right coffee table that matches your style, space and preference, and finally... you see it! You purchase the coffee table, and pay an exorbitant amount for shipping, and finally it arrives to your house. You cart it up the stairs and unwrap it feeling the same way you did as a child on Christmas morning. You step back to observe it in your space, and a sinking feeling sweeps over you. This coffee table is clearly far too big for your living room. You bump your shin on the edge of it as you walk to the kitchen, and as you shriek (and swear under your breath) as you think about how expensive finding a coffee table really will be now that you have to sell this one on Facebook marketplace and start again. If it took this long to find a coffee table, you can’t imagine the time it will take to redesign your whole living room.
We have heard some true horror stories about redesigning spaces, and we know it can be an overwhelming and time consuming process. Entrusting a designer with your project can be beneficial to your time, budget and even can help to bring joy into redesigning your space. Here are our top 5 reasons why an interior designer can help you in designing your home, a room, or even choosing new pieces of furniture.
1. Designers bring the best tools.
Interior designers take the guess work out of your design vision. We can sketch 3D visualisations of a room or home so that you can see the scale of your space. This means you can see where the walls will move to, or how the furniture will fit. We do this by measuring your space and allocating the correct measurements to each item of furniture. Having these drawings means that every dimension, even the dimensions of your coffee table in the space can be demonstrated.
2. Designers have creative vision.
When it comes to interiors our designers are able to see the potential and limits of every space. Designers can provide guidance and ideas on floor plan layouts, fixtures, fittings, and furniture. They can understand your vision, or in the cases when you aren’t quite sure of your style yet, they can help you to find and define your style, goals and needs. Our goal in every space is to understand our client’s practical needs for the space, how they want to feel in the space, and the styles they are drawn to. We can then use our knowledge and expertise to maximise the space and ensure it’s working to meet your goals.
We can create the wow factor in your space and help you bring a home to life. Our access to quality brands, from local furniture manufacturers to international wallpaper designs, means we are well prepared to achieve your design goals.
3. Designers can save you money.
We are privy to stories of rugs that are too small, to tables that are too large, and everything in between. Purchasing something once, and purchasing it properly is so important. Our broad knowledge of market trends and availability means that we can make recommendations to fit your style, while ensuring your budget is achieved.
4. Designers have brand connections.
We have a broad range of stock available in our showroom, and also a wide range of industry connections. This is great for you as we can become a one-stop shop for sourcing fixtures, fittings and furniture from a broad range of suppliers. We also have access to some of the best custom furniture designers in Australia. This means we can show you many options for a range of budgets, and can ensure that you can get exactly what you want.
5. Designers save you time.
The design and fitout process can be lengthy and a full time job. It sounds obvious, but it really is true that a designer has redesigned spaces so many times that they can foresee the problems that will occur and plan accordingly. There are so many choices to be made when redesigning a space and generating a space to achieve your ideal aesthetic, and making the process stress free and timely is a designers fortè. Our designers source and liaise with companies and brands for products, they budget and strategise, and they also coordinate the delivery of items, materials and installers. Working with an interior designer can remove the stress often associated with creating the home of your dreams. We take the pressure from you, so you can relax and enjoy your new surroundings.
