If you find you never have enough hours in the day and have never really excelled at decision making then it could be extremely beneficial for you to employ an Interior Designer for your new home project or next round of home renovations. As well as give your project a considered design and a great cohesive aesthetic it will also save on incredible amounts of stress and anxiety for many people.

Many people don’t really understand the full role of an interior designer. Here are 10 reasons why people employ their services and would never doubt their decision that they did.

1. Interior Designers become their great confident and listener. They are a great sounding board for the clients initial ideas and brief, and directional support throughout the ongoing project.
2. Budgets get discussed openly at the very beginning stages and this then becomes reality for the client. The Interior Designer has a very important role to advise and direct, and to stick within the agreed and realistic budget framework.
3. Interior Designers come up with well considered designs and great space solution ideas. A couple of different design layouts are always provided and from here re-worked to come up with the agreed and final design.
4. All samples and finishes are recommended, sourced and presented according to discussions and the brief. This enables massive time-saving for the client especially when working with kitchens and bathrooms, flooring and soft furnishings.
5. Interior Designers have a full network of contacts in the industry and can source from suppliers at reduced pricing, which they then pass onto client. Their relationships in the industry ensure products can be sourced or delivered without delay, and if required sometimes above and beyond services come into play from suppliers to ensure the project runs smoothly.
6. Interior Designers provide full documentation of all specifications, works, suppliers, costs. This gives the client a great working document and reference to always refer to. This is continually monitored and adjusted accordingly throughout the project.
7. Interior Designers make the decision making process run simply and smoothly. They know where to direct client too for products, help and guide in the decisions and organise all pricing, payment and delivery.
8. Interior Designers have their own trades for all projects. The ongoing supportive relationship means they both work extremely well together to run smooth and efficient projects.
9. Interior Designers often Project Manage the project. This will be an inclusion in the initial brief. They are in constant communication with client and trades to ensure smooth execution and ensure minimal interruption and stress.
10. Interior Designers spend many hours behind the scenes working on the project at hand. People often don’t realise the time involved in actioning a project from start to finish. This is what an Interior Designer excels at and enjoys, and manages with efficiency and expertise.
