What to expect from an interior designer

Ever thought of enlisting the help of an interior designer but felt a little intimidated or confused? Though there are a plethora of interior design companies in Auckland out there who are there to serve and guide you, here are some questions that clients tend to have in mind.

 

Will working with an interior designer add value to my home in the long run?

The short answer is yes. An interior designer will save you a great deal of time, money and headaches. They will help you to avoid costly mistakes, and increase the value of your home. A good interior designer will add wow factor to your home which will make all the difference when it comes time to sell.

 

Is it true that interior designers get better deals on furniture, fabric and hardware?

This is very true. Interior designers have access to furniture, fabric and homeware at discounted rates that can be passed on to the client.

 

How do I push back on designs/ideas I don’t love?

If a designer puts forward design ideas that are not to your taste, don’t be afraid to let them know this.  The home that you create together with their help must be one that you love and their job is to help you achieve this.

                         

How will an interior designer help me stick to a budget?

Once a budget is decided, it’s their job to stick to it.

 

What if after the initial meeting I am not happy with the style or ideas put forward by an interior designer, is it okay to walk away?

You can walk away at any time. You will likely be charged their initial consultation fee however, unless you have negotiated an initial meeting at no cost.
