The Interior Design industry has grown exponentially over the past few years. The collective realisation that our home surroundings are paramount to our overall wellbeing - whilst not forgetting the WFH phenomenon during the 2020 lock down period - has highlighted the industry and sparked many new ventures to make the most of your spaces at home.

From money saving opportunities to profitable investment, here’s 6 great reasons why you would want to hire an Interior Designer…..

1. Trade Discount Access

We have access to a host of trade account discounts that we always share with our clients saving them money at every possible opportunity. As well as some more exclusive less known brands that operate on a 'trade only' basis, we have trade accounts with a collection of high street retailers including, Victoria Plumb, Lick, Pooky lights to name but a few. For the majority of projects that we have worked on, our clients have made back the money they have spent on our design fee as a result of trade discounts earning them our services for free. You may need to read that back a few times for it to sink in.... design service fees - FOR FREE!

Our trade accounts make us eligible for generous discounts and special offers that we are able to pass on to our customers, further helping the budget.

2. Budget Management Expertise

With expert knowledge on how to produce and manage a budget, we help our clients to carefully plan out where your money would be best spent and where you can make savings. Unexpected costs are inevitable sometimes, which is why we always work in a contingency on the overall budget. Your Interior Designer (aka. Us!) will find areas to save so you don’t have to worry about going over budget.

3. Save Time and Costly Mistakes

We all lead busy lives and sometimes home projects often get delegated to the bottom of the list. This is our day job and we have the expericnce and knowledge of where to find the best suppliers, makers and contractors. We also know the best ways to communicate and work with them avoiding any room for error or miscommunication. In the World of renovations, time is precious and a simple mistake could end up causing irreversible damage to your budget. With clear communication between your designer (…us – are the hints becoming obvious yet???) and other third party specialists there is a much smaller margin of error avoiding mistakes, assumptions and repetitive questions and phone calls. Don’t leave the final touches as an after thought – your designer will consider the finer details as part of the overall scheme from the beginning of the project.

4. The Bigger Picture

Our deliverables allow you to see the complete picture and ensure your design is cohesive and well thought out. With a clear plan in place we ensure all the elements work together. With our online packages, you can do one room at a time, or several all together, and we’ll ensure they work together harmoniously.

5. Increase in Re-sale Value

Something to consider whilst you think about making the investment of hiring an interior designer is the value of your property increasing due to a better layout and aesthetics. If you are opting for a design layout that maximises the space and is finished to a high spec, this can considerably increase the value of your property when you are ready to place it back on the market. Simple things like maximising storage and kitchen/bathroom finishes will make your property more desirable and therefore easier to sell.

6. Confidence in Decisions

We are on hand in real-time to help you make decisions and be a sounding board for your ideas. Often during times of big decisions, we just need reassuring and the option of some alternative ideas and suggestions. We are invested in your scheme aesthetically but we’re also on board to make practical decisions and remember the original brief challenging every decision to make sure that the designs are going to work hard for what you need them to do.

We have differing levels of design services available to you, no matter what stage of your project you are at.

Check out our design services if this sounds like the kind of support you need for your next major renovation, seasonal spruce up or a restyle of what you already have in place. We are confident that we can elevate your interiors so do get in touch to collaborate with us on transforming either a blank canvas or the re-design of an existing space.
