Do I Need an Interior Designer?

Interior Design is about creating the right combination of colours and textures in a space to make it interesting.  Balance is the key, too much and a space becomes fussy and unorganised, too little and it’s bland and boring

While there are fundamental elements and principles involved in the design process, it is our individuality and personality reflected in a space which is the true measure of a successful design.

When considering hiring a designer, many people have the concern that he/she will impose their style on your home.  Don’t worry, Interior Designers are professionals and like all professionals, put their clients needs first.  Working with a designer should be a good experience.  We are here to help you to guide you in the design process and to create your ideal interior.

Do I Need a Designer?

“Surely I can do it myself.  It’s not like I don’t have any ideas, I know a lovely colour that would work on my walls, a pretty fabric that would make beautiful drapes.  I’ll get started next weekend and re-decorate”.  

But next weekend, turns into the weekend after, spring turns to summer, the kids are back to school and before you know it, it’s Christmas again!

Sound familiar?  Maybe it’s time you considered getting an Interior Designer.

A designer is not someone who comes into your home and takes over.  A designer is someone who takes the hassle away, someone who helps you focus, someone who can realistically estimate the costs involved, and most importantly, someone who can get the job done!

Meeting your designer.

When a designer comes to your home, they first need to diagnose your taste and identify your requirements.   They will ask about you, your family, hobbies, pets, entertaining style, or any special needs you may have.  All of this information helps them to develop a basis for the overall design.  They will also want to know what you want to achieve with your design, so if you have any photo’s or magazine cut outs of spaces you like, show them to your designer.

Your home should bring a smile to your face when you walk through the front door.  It should be your haven, a place where you can get away from the outside world, or a place where you’re proud to invite the world into.

It’s the designers job to identify your personality and to reflect that in your home.
