Blog - Why hire an interior designer?

Hiring an interior designer often raises a reasonable question: is it worth it? It depends on the project, but for a renovation or a major change to your home it is usually an investment that pays back in time saved, mistakes avoided and quality of result.

Technical knowledge

An interior designer does more than choose materials and colours. They know which walls can move, how to fit services, how to handle light and how to coordinate the different trades. That technical grounding is what separates a project from decoration.

Better use of space

Layout is where most is gained. Rethinking circulation, removing corridors or building in storage can transform a home without adding a single square metre.

Access to suppliers

Long-standing work with manufacturers and craftspeople gives access to materials and pieces not available on the general market, with lead times and terms a private client rarely gets.

Management and budget

A well-documented design allows a detailed budget to be fixed and avoids changes along the way, the main cause of cost overruns. Managing the works also spares you from coordinating each trade yourself.
