I’ve never worked with an Interior Designer and I’m feeling a bit nervous
Inviting someone new into your home for the first time is bound to be a bit unsettling but please don’t think that we will be in any way judging your home, its appearance or your design decisions. We get bit nervous/excited too when meeting a new client to discuss a potential new project, but ultimately our job is to understand your requirements, decide if we’re a good fit in terms of working together (interior design projects can take a long time which means we’ll be spending a lot of time together in your home, so it’s really important that we get along) and to see whether we’re on the same page in terms of design styles, outcomes and budgets.
How do we work together if we have very different design styles?
Our job as designers is to have a full understanding of your particular interior style and preferences so that the end result is everything you’d hoped it would be (plus a bit more if possible). We’ll always have an opinion, make suggestions and recommendations and even push you out of your comfort zone if necessary, but we wouldn’t be doing our job properly if you aren’t delighted with the end result.
Does working with an Interior Designer cost a huge amount?
As a ‘niche’ service our pricing won’t appeal to everyone but ultimately it comes down being clear about and seeing the value in what you are paying for.
I think misconceptions arise because a lot of what designers do is unseen; the hours spent sourcing a particular item of furniture or the time and effort involved in finding a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution to dressing a tricky window for example.
Think about those times you re-decorated a room and then gone on to hate the colour or you’ve bought a piece of furniture and got it home only to realise the scale and proportion of it look all wrong once in situ.
By paying for the expertise and experience of a professional you can save yourself a lot of time, cut down on stress and actually save money by avoiding making mistakes which often end up being expensive to rectify.
