When should you hire an interior designer?
Earlier than you think.
One of the biggest misconceptions about interior design is that a designer comes in once construction is underway or when it’s time to select furniture and finishes.
In reality, some of the most important design decisions happen much earlier.
- How will the family use the home?
- Where should the furniture go?
- Do the electrical points work with the layout?
- Where should the lighting be placed?
- What needs to be custom designed?
- Can we improve the storage or circulation?
These decisions become much harder — and often more expensive — once work has already begun.
After years of designing homes, I’ve learnt that a good interior designer isn’t just there to make a home beautiful.
We’re there to make the right decisions before the beautiful things arrive.If you’re building, renovating or taking possession of a new home, start the design conversation early.
