Using an interior designer for a home renovation can save you time and money, and make sure the design vision comes to life for your space. We don’t just create pretty concepts. We are the guiding light, ensuring your dream home is executed perfectly! See the breakdown below of why our role in your next renovation project is critical.

1. We take the time to get to know you

After an insightful discussion where we get to understand your lifestyle, design style, and overall feeling you want the space to have, we develop a design that is tailored to you and functions beautifully, while being the ultimate sanctuary from the busy world.

2. Benefits of a streamlined selection process

If you’ve ever been to a lighting, tile, or hardwood showroom, you know firsthand how overwhelming the options can be. Hiring an experienced interior designer means they will show you 2 or 3 options that have been thoughtfully selected based on your budget, lifestyle, and tastes. Having this guidance eliminates the anxiety and stress of option overload.

3. Detailed drawings and specification package with site visits

Having these documents is like having a recipe for your space with all the ingredients and instructions, so the contractor can complete the project in a timely fashion and have a full understanding of what the end result should be.

4. Furniture procurement and layout

When designing a space, it’s important that new and/or old furniture is drawn, so it can be certain that everything will fit. Interior designers work with a variety of furniture vendors that have endless fabric options, custom sizes, and arm options to fit your space perfectly. Having access to lines exclusive to the design community means getting white glove service delivery and outstanding customer support. Having a thoughtful and tailored furniture package for your space is the icing on the cake that elevates your home to the next level.

5. Full pricing and construction interior design packages allow contractors to offer fixed fee pricing

When you design as you go, it’s really difficult for your contractor to keep things within a budget. The benefit of having a full package to price from is that the contractor can have a clear vision for design and construction costs. If the pricing package is not within the homeowner’s budget, thoughtful modifications can be made to get things within budget, while protecting the integrity of the design. Once the final design is approved, a construction package gives trades all the necessary details to construct the design within the fixed fee.

6. 3D visualization 

Having home renovation projects designed in 3D gives clients an amazing way to visualize their space before committing to costly construction. It also gives trades a really great understanding of what the design is meant to look like, so they can avoid costly delays that hold up projects.
