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.

Color drenching? Here’s what it is and how to nail it:

Color drenching means painting everything—walls, trim, ceiling, even woodwork—in the same color. It creates a cozy, cocoon-like  vibe that’s perfect for intimate spaces.

How to Do It:
- Paint everything: Walls, trim, ceiling, and doors all get the same hue.
- Mix up the sheens: Use different finishes like matte for walls and semi-gloss for trim to add depth.
- Add a complimentary color: This ensures that the space doesn’t feel too monotonous and adds visual interest and balance.
- Consider your natural lighting: Choose your color based on the room’s natural light to decide whether to go light or dark. Both can be equally beautiful.
Best Rooms for This:
- Den/Office
- Small Bedroom
- Cozy TV Room
- Dark or Small Spaces

Designing a space tailored to your needs is all about thoughtful choices and personal touches that make it uniquely yours.

This room is a reflection of our personal style. And something that I truly stand behind… a beautiful space doesn’t have to be all custom or high-end pieces. In fact, it’s all about the balance. I invested in this well-made sofa by @mosshomeusa and saved on the well-crafted vintage chairs and travertine coffee table I scoured the internet for. This mix is what makes the space feel more soulful in my opinion. 

When designing your own space, think about what truly matters to you. What elements foster a sense of warmth and connection? For us, it’s about creating a sanctuary where every detail—from the collected treasures adorning the shelves to the texture of the upholstery—speaks to our love for comfort and elegance.
