We know people often question why they would need to hire an Interior Designer when there is so much inspiration out there to be accessed easily such as Pinterest & other similar social media platforms or even a simple ‘Google image search’ they also often think that hiring an Interior Designer is expensive and only reserved for people with excessive incomes. Continue reading this blog & you will discover why hiring a professional Interior Designer is more accessible, more affordable & makes far more sense than you may think-
1. YOU COULD ACTUALLY SAVE MONEY!
You may think that you are paying for an additional service, yet you could actually be saving money by hiring a designer, the reason being is that you gain access to not only our expertise but also our wide knowledge of retailers & suppliers, therefore, we are more likely to find you appropriate products at a range of price points to suit your budget but without compromising the look.
Plus, our expertise means that you are going to get the design right the first time around without making costly mistakes. No returns because the furniture doesn't fit the space, no extra purchases of paint or redecoration because you decide you don’t actually like the colour that you selected after all and no afterthoughts that perhaps the furniture style you chose doesn't actually work with the existing furniture that you were hoping to use.
2. TO SAVE YOURSELF PRECIOUS TIME
The idea of updating your interiors always comes with good intentions but nothing ever gets done because it is always pushed to the bottom of your to-do list. Does this sound familiar? If so hiring a designer might be the answer to making your interior design dreams for your home come true.
If there is no time in the day to even work out in your mind exactly what you would like to do in terms of home updates, let alone start planning and shopping, then it might be worth thinking about delegating this task. Delegating doesn't mean losing control and ending up with a house that doesn't feel like your home. We work with you every step of the way to establish exactly what your style is & what you are hoping to achieve, we just do all the hard work for you to pull it all together & turn your dream into a reality.
3. TO DEFINE YOUR STYLE
If you're not 100% sure on your personal style, how you want your home to look or you only know what you like & don’t like when you see it then we work closely with you to firstly define your personal style and then provide you with the inspiration to help decide on the design direction. We determine what is going on in your head & work hard to turn it into a beautiful and cohesive designs that you will love for years to come.
4. TO REMOVE THE STRESS
Updating your interior can be stressful. Deciding on a scheme, a direction, choosing colours, planning a layout and then sourcing all the items can be mentally exhausting. when you hire an Interior Designer you can lift that weight off your shoulders and pass it straight over to us.
5. TO KEEP YOUR PROJECT ON BUDGET
We will always help you to decide on a budget, deciding where to spend & where to save is a job in itself, with our expertise as a designer they can help ensure that you complete your design within the budget and make sure you don't run out of money before it's complete.
6. TO GAIN UNIQUE IDEAS THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF YOURSELF
Without blowing our own trumpets we hear this a lot from our clients '“why didn’t I think of that?” Or “ I would never have thought to do that!” Our favourite comment to hear is… “You girls are just so clever”. We have loads of tricks of the trade-up our sleeves which means that we can offer unique & various suggestions.
With our extensive contractor collaboration often we have access to services you would not have even thought of using, such as bespoke furniture makers whereby we can design furniture & have it made for a particularly difficult space or to make an area more functional.
7. TO GET THAT ‘WOW’ FACTOR FINISH
This is without a doubt a good reason for hiring an Interior Designer, there is absolutely no doubt about it, if you hire a good designer, you'll get a designer finish.
Usually, when you complete a project yourself, the final touches get pushed to the bottom of the list. If you choose our full project management service, we do the finishing touches for you whereby you are presented with an entirely finished space right down to putting the artwork on the walls and the plumping of cushions!
8. ADDING VALUE TO YOUR PROPERTY
All of our expertise and finishing touches don’t just add aesthetics to your space, it also values too. The thinking outside the box ideas, being practical, and making the most from the space means that hiring an Interior Designer will inevitably add value to your property.

We have all the tools that you may not have access to such as floor plan and layout software & can create visuals to help you envisage what your space will look like once complete. Additionally we have access to a long list of retailers & trade-only suppliers.
10. ACCESS TO CONTACTS
Much like our access to resources, we also have access to other professional people that can help you out. I.e. architects and trades people. If we don’t have access to the right trades person specific to your needs then we will find them for you!
