Why You Need an Interior Designer
So you’ve scrolled through Instagram and Pinterest for hours and scoured the aisles of all your favourite design stores, you’ve even put together a mood board highlighting how you want your space to look… you think you’re ready to begin your project. But, the look isn’t cohesive and you can’t seem to translate the vision to reality. The best way to get what you really want? Hire an interior designer.
A designer is capable of taking your dream and making it a reality; creating a space that is not only beautiful aesthetically but, equally important, functional. By working with an interior designer you are getting an educated professional to aid in visualization and space planning, material and product specification, as well as project management. Intimidating as it may seem to find someone to trust with your space, the benefits of hiring an interior designer are more than worth it.
Here are 6 reasons why you should consider an interior designer for your next project, no matter the size.
Pinpointing Your Style
Traditional, minimal, mid-century modern, coastal… the list of styles is extensive, but how to know what truly feels like you? Everyone is unique, a particular style in totality may not be representative of you. A designer can blend elements and principles from multiple design styles in a thoughtful way to create a space that speaks directly to your personality and needs.
Fresh Eyes & Unexpected Ideas
Often when we see a space day in and day out, we begin to only see a singular purpose for that room making it difficult to imagine a new or more functional way the space can be utilized. From reimagining a room to accent tiles in a bathroom, we do it all. With objective views, fresh perspective, and spatial planning skills an interior designer can introduce new ideas and a different approach to creating a space of your dreams.
Eliminate Headaches & Avoid Costly Mistakes
Overwhelmed with choices? Don’t know where that sofa belongs? Hiring an interior designer removes all stress from the design process guiding the vision and managing the project to ensure it all comes together smoothly. The knowledge and advice interior designers provide can save thousands in mistakes that could have been avoided. Designers can provide insight on functionality in spatial planning and material and product selection to ensure longevity, safety and style.

Increase Your House Value
A house is one of, if not, the biggest investment you will make in your life. It is one of your largest assets and holds a significant amount of value; investing in your home is an investment in your future. A redesigned or refreshed space can increase the value of a house on average between 40-60%. Working with an interior designer provides the opportunity to improve your home by creating aesthetically beautiful, functional spaces your family and potential buyers (when the time comes) will love and perceive value in.
