Hiring a professional designer is something to consider if you’re building a home, you’ve just purchased a home, or if your home needs a much-needed update or refresh. They can help you make smart decisions on how to maximize your budget and create the perfect finishing touches that make your home a real showcase. Whether you don’t know how to begin to decorate your home, you have an idea but need help tying pieces together, or you simply haven’t the time to execute your personal style because of your busy schedule, utilizing a designer just makes sense! Here are five reasons why you should consider working with a designer:

1: Save You Money – It might sound funny that hiring someone to help you decorate your home would save you money since you have the additional fee of the designer, however, a designer can help you avoid costly mistakes and help you maximize the value of your home. When planning design, you need to think about textures, materials, cohesion, architecture, cost, durability, space efficiency, scalability, functionality, layout and so many more considerations. Especially when selling your home – interior design is essential when listing your home. It can help boost buyer appeal and set your home above the competition.

2: Professional Assessment – A designer can give you a professional assessment of your situation, that will lead to a solid plan of action. The order of things in a design plan is key in determining what can be repurposed or replaced. This will not only affect your project timeframe but also help you spend your budget more efficiently. A designer offers an extra set of eyes that are trained to see and notice things that you may not.

Wide Availability of Resources – Designers work with multiple vendors that provide a huge range of furnishings that aren’t available to the general public. These resources can give you a much wider selection for design and can help make your space look more pulled together, unique, and ultimately create the wow factor! Contacts – In addition to vendor resources, designers have many home improvement industry contacts. They can save homeowners time and headaches trying to identify reliable, cost-efficient contractors for their projects. Increasing the Value of Your Home – A decorator can potentially add a great deal to the aesthetic of your home, which in turn can increase your home value. This increased appeal can not only be personally satisfying but exponentially increase the value of your home and speed up the amount of time your home sits on the market before it is sold. The benefit here is two-fold, faster turn-around time, and more money in your pocket.
