How does an Interior Designer save you money?

While building a new home, remodeling, or redesigning a space can be exciting, we understand the stress and financial undertaking that comes with these projects. For many, the thought of hiring an interior designer might seem an inconceivable expense. However, bringing on a professional can significantly improve your overall experience and actually help keep costs within your budget. Today, we’re sharing how exactly an interior designer saves you money.

If you’re curious about the design process, learn what working with an interior designer is like.

#1 Saving Time

You’ve got a lot on your plate already, and sometimes the thought of adding another project can leave you feeling deflated before you even start. Depending on the scope of your project, a well-designed home can include hundreds of hours of research, development, and management. Your designer takes on this load so you can spend your valuable time elsewhere. They’ve been through the process countless times and know how to execute the project in a timely matter, often anticipating your needs before you realize you have them.

#2 Avoid costly mistakes

Ask anyone who has undertaken a design on their own, and they’ll explain just how complicated the process can get, often elaborated with stories lamenting exactly where things went wrong. Sofa too big for the space? Ordered flooring that doesn’t quite match the millwork? Interior designers are trained to manage this process for you and help avoid otherwise costly mistakes. Your designer will make sure each step follows a cohesive design plan, resisting those impulse buys and last-minute changes on a whim.

#3 Creative Solutions

It’s always best to establish a budget before a project starts, and a designer will help you stay on track with those financial goals. Some might look at a limitation like a budget as a problem to grapple with. However, designers are inspired to find creative solutions that fit within those parameters—balancing item availability, quality, and cost to help you get your money’s worth without compromising your final design.

#4 Discounts from Vendors

Interior designers spend years nurturing connections within the industry to gain access to high quality furniture, finishings, and accessories at a greatly discounted rate (often a fraction of retail price). Designers are then able to pass along some of these discounts to their clients, ensuring you’re getting quality pieces for your home while offsetting some of the costs of hiring a designer in the first place!

#5 Timeless Design

A bespoke design entails creating a look that stands the test of time. Designers conduct frequent research within the industry to keep up with the constantly developing trends and revitalize timeless elements. Then, after getting to know you and your tastes and preferences, the designer will curate a custom design that compliments your unique lifestyle—selecting durable materials and sourcing quality items to ensure you can fall in love with your design for years to come without the need for frequent updates to keep it fresh.

#6 Increase the Value of your Home

When working with an interior designer, you’re not only creating a beautiful home for you to enjoy. You’re also making an investment that can vastly increase the appeal of your home and bring significant returns when it comes time to sell. A well-designed space attracts potential buyers and boosts the overall appeal of your home. Let your designer unlock the full potential of each room and create a home worth passing along.

Our interior designers strive to provide our clients with the highest level of service, becoming a valuable resource throughout the design process. Don’t hesitate to ask or discuss with your designer how to get the most out of your design. We’d love to work with you!
