Now this one might surprise you a little as basic math says the additional fee of the designer will ultimately cost you more. In most cases though, this turns out not to be the case. Designers are trained to look for things that you would not normally think of, like how furniture placement will affect electrical outlets. We can also help you avoid costly mistakes like purchasing furniture that doesn’t fit into the space, ordering the wrong tiles for the bathroom or painting the walls on multiple occasions just to get the right tone for the mood of your room. On top of this many designers receive special store discounts on furniture and appliances that help you keep on budget.

For most of us time is a precious commodity that we wish we had more of. Between work, kids and a busy social life there isn’t much time left to think about anything else. A designer will give you more time by taking care of issues you don’t have the time to deal with. As well as knowing where to go for resources, your designer will be a liaison between your architect and contractor, eliminating a multitude of back and forth emails in the process.

As mentioned above interior designers have an endless list of suppliers and resources that are not always available to the general public which can help to create a space that is not only elegant but a unique expression of you. A designer will also assist in the process of easily helping you find an electrician, plumber or contractor that you can trust.

A well thought out and carefully executed design can do two things when you eventually come to sell your home. An aesthetically pleasing home attracts more potential home buyers which then in turn speeds up the selling process and puts more money in your pocket.
