What to consider when it comes to Interior Design
Maybe you're just tired of your existing interiors and want a fresh new look but just not sure where to start?
Why not enlist the help of an Interior Designer.
An interior designer will do a site inspection to view the scope of work and discuss ideas with you. They will spend time getting to understand your likes and dislikes, your style, mood and colour preferences. They can help you work with pieces of furniture or decorator items you may want to retain but will help transform the whole look of the room. You could well be given ideas you had never thought of before.
A fresh pair of eyes can bring fresh ideas.
Whether you have a newly built home and want ideas for the entire house or you just want to redecorate one or two rooms of your much loved family home, an Interior Designer will be able to help you no matter what your budget is. You will be given creative ideas and practical advice. Your Designer will have access to a variety of furnishing, fabrics, window coverings, floor rugs, upholstery and accessories that you didn’t know existed nor have the time to look for. Interior Designers have good spatial awareness so can come up with clever ideas for decorating a room to make it appear bigger or how to fill a large space to make it feel practical and not wasted. You will be given advice about the natural light in a room and how to take advantage of it or how to make a dark room appear lighter. A trained eye also knows about colours, tones and hues and which colours and fabric prints work well together.
Interior Designers have experience reading plans and can work cohesively with trades such as carpenters, electricians and plumbers. Your Designer can project manage a large job for you or if it’s a minor job they can just give you advice and ideas on colours, furniture and soft furnishing so you can then source a painter, upholsterer, soft furnishing and decorator items yourself. When it comes to decorating, the choices are endless and you will find it overwhelming, so it’s a good idea to get independent advice from an Interior Designer. Money well spent to transform your house into a home with both practicality and style.
