When beginning the process of building a new home or remodeling an existing one, Contractors are an invaluable resource to ensure that your project is both planned and executed within budget and on-time. Including an Interior Designer as an integral part of your team continues to improve both the efficacy and value of your project. Their expertise and input add value in many ways. Below are five reasons for clients to choose to work with an Interior Designer.


#1 - Avoid Lost Time & Money by Planning Wisely

Many clients fear that paying “more” money to hire an Interior Designer is counterproductive for their budgets. In reality, a designer’s input can save money not only by helping to avoid costly mistakes, but also by making decisions that add to the value of your home.

Since Interior Designers are familiar with the processes involved with home projects and remodeling, they are able to make suggestions that will keep your project moving forward at a productive pace. They are experienced in avoiding potential time-wasting obstacles and being proactive with decisions that could hold-up a project down the road.

Experienced Designers will speak the same “language” as other industry professionals. This gives you an advocate that can understand and explain terminology, processes, or products that you may not be familiar with.

#4 - Access to Exclusive Designer Resources & Pricing

Some product resources such as furnishings and fabric are not available to the general public. Interior designers with access to these exclusive resources are able to create a space unique to you that is set apart from design options available through retail outlets alone

#5 - Benefit from professional guidance to make your budget count

A knowledgeable Interior Designer also will be able to ensure that your project is receiving the best value for cost. When line items need to be reviewed, they can help to make decisions that will use your funds in the most effective and meaningful ways rather than spending more on a choice that has minimal impact.
