5 Reasons to Hire an Interior Designer

OK design aficionados, let’s take a fun detour back to the basics: why should you hire an interior designer? Sure, some outside the industry might think we just make things look pretty, but there’s way more to it! Think project management, saving time and money, and having access to cool resources. Join us as we deep dive into the nitty-gritty of our design process. We’ll give you a closer glimpse at what goes on behind-the-scenes, and reveal some lesser-known facets of interior design. 

Reason 1: Hiring a Designer Saves Time and Money

Contrary to popular belief, hiring an interior designer doesn’t necessarily break the bank; in fact, it’s a strategic investment that prevents costly errors. We help maximize your space’s functionality while avoiding mistakes that might otherwise come up due to unfamiliarity with materials or design elements. This intentional approach ensures that every aspect of your space is optimized, saving you both time and money in the long run.

Reason 2: Designer Access to Exclusive Resources and Quality Products

One of the perks of working with a designer is gaining access to resources and high-quality products. Through our trade-only accounts and industry connections, we can often provide access to superior materials and unique pieces that aren’t available to the general public. Also, these products often boast better quality and aesthetic compared to what you might find through regular retail outlets. As such, this access allows for a tailored, elevated design that sets your space apart. 

Reason 3: Achieving Your Desired Aesthetic Through Expertise

Bringing your dream aesthetic to life involves more than just selecting pretty items. It’s all about understanding the science behind materials, finishes, and palettes. As designers, we have all the tips and tricks to combine these elements seamlessly, ensuring that every aspect works in harmony to achieve your dream space. And, knowing how to balance these elements creates a cohesive, visually appealing space that accurately reflects your true vision.

Reason 4: Enhancing Your Home’s Value

Investing in professional design can significantly increase your home’s resale value. This makes it an excellent choice for both present enjoyment and future profit. An expertly designed space attracts potential buyers and enhances the overall appeal of your property. It’s a win-win situation!

Reason 5: Attention to Detail for a Polished Finish

Details matter in interior design; they transform the space from good to fabulous. From the height at which lighting fixtures are hung to the scale of furniture and placement of artwork, every element is carefully considered. As a designer, my eye for detail ensures that every inch of your space is carefully curated, creating a cohesive finish that elevates the entire aesthetic.

One last look at the home that built our story...
Dear Oregon,
You raised us. Derrick and I have lived here our entire lives—two kids with big plans who became a husband-and-wife team, parents, and the duo behind Clouz Houz. Tumalo Ranch was our canvas. We opened walls, learned patience, hosted late dinners on the back patio, and put our stamp on a place that stamped us right back.
It turns out it’s never too late for a little change. We’re saying yes to Tennessee. New streets to learn, new porches to sit on, fresh projects to pour ourselves into. Oregon will still be home in our heart of hearts. I already have travel plans in October, so this isn’t goodbye. But wow, I’ll miss you.
We packed the boxes and did one more slow lap through each room. For now, Oregon. We love you. We’ll carry you with us to Tennessee and back again-soon.
I can’t believe this was our final Supper at the Ranch.🥹 One last hoorah in this home, with my parents in town, sitting outside on the most gorgeous end of summer evening. The views, the laughter, the food... everything about it felt like a memory I’ll hold onto forever.
Entertaining has always been one of my favorite ways to show love. Setting a table, pouring a glass, serving a meal... it’s how I take care of the people around me. And this night, our last dinner here, reminded me why it means so much: because meals become moments, and moments become memories.
It’s bittersweet knowing this was the last dinner outside like that... for now. With renovations ahead, we won’t have a functioning kitchen or dining space for a while, but nights like this make me even more excited to create the next chapter.
The menu was one of my favorites: Aperol Sunset cocktail, cheesy stuffed fried olives, weeknight ragu over zucchini ribbons and pasta, and Lemon Amalfi cake. Truly the perfect send-off. The nigh couldn’t have been more perfect
Comment ‘SUPPER’ and I’ll send you the link to the blog with the full menu + recipes. Let me know if you try them out-l’d love to see how you bring them to your own table.
Unfortunately I do love... The tiny luxuries that keep me sane🙃
A board + a glass of wine and calling it dinner. A weekly blowout because I feel human after. Staying in bed with Lucy way too long on saturday. Long, chatty brunches. “Just one episode” of any RHO turning into three. Espresso martinis after dinner when I said I was done with caffeine. Collecting beauty products like they’re baseball cards.
None of it is essential, all of it makes life feel a little more fun— especially in this cozy, getting-dark-early season. I’m choosing delight where i can find it.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
