5 Reasons to Hire an Interior Designer

An interior designer can show off the best a house has to offer and there are several (good) reasons to hire one.

An interior designer is someone who specializes in decorating all or part of a given space (be it a house, office, among others). We understand that it is a profession that anyone thinks they know how to perform perfectly, but the truth is that this rarely happens.

When buying a new home, we want to make the most out of it and decoration is one of the strongest and most identifying points of a house. Decoration only can easily turn a house into a home, don’t you think?

If you identify with this way of acting, know that you are not alone. Almost all of us have thought about decorating our entire house with the most suitable objects, but the truth is that we (almost) all failed. And that is why we are giving you 5 reasons to hire an interior designer.

1. Saves time (and money)

Decorating a room (or an entire house) can take a long time for those who have no experience in the area. And the truth is that it is easy to buy less indicated decorative objects, a sofa in the wrong color and a table unable to coexist in harmony with the environment of the room.

It is also true that the money you have invested can't be easily recovered, and if you don't like to see the decoration you have bought, you'll have to spend more money on a new one until you find the harmony you're looking for.

To talk about money, we have to talk about time - all the time you need to spend looking for the best accessories, the best prices and in which shops to buy them.

This is where the work of an interior designer proves to be extremely useful, since we are talking about a professional who, in addition to being aware of all the trends, knows where to find the products which their customers want. The service, in general, becomes much faster and cheaper.

2. Professional Advice

That's what you get when you hire an interior designer to help you decorate your house. We are talking about a person specialized in the area, able to offer you the best solutions for every corner of your home.

However, this is only done based on the budget you have defined. Only then does it become possible to buy everything that each room needs to "come alive". Besides, an interior designer defines a solid and easily adaptable action plan.

This means that the entire area to be decorated is studied beforehand and that, at any time, you can change your mind and change the furniture without losing the harmony achieved in the "first decoration".

3. Planning and coordination

By mentioning this, we want to talk about the importance of having an overall plan designed by an interior designer and not by ourselves.

And why is that?

Because that means that you are resorting to the professional help of someone who, after the architect and the contractor, can perfectly recognize certain faults and solve them practically and economically - using only the advantages decoration has to offer.

A professional in this area is also useful when it comes to the use of space, taking the best out of it. This also includes taking advantage of the light shining and recognizing how it can contribute to greater harmony in each room.

4. A greater network of contacts

Not everyone thinks about this, we know, but the truth is that an interior designer, given his/her experience, has a huge network of contacts from which he/her finds better prices and products that are not even in-store.

This network of contacts is important in the sense that it is not of the knowledge (nor of the reach) of the general public. By decorating your home alone, you can only resort to certain stores to buy what you need, rarely ensuring the best prices.

5. More experience
It sounds like an obvious reason, but it is not. How many times have you tried to replicate an idea you saw on the Internet and never got it right? Time and time again, we can only guess, and that's where the experience of an interior designer can help (a lot).

Such a professional can show you the "wow!" factor that you only see online or even in decoration stores, which present such harmonious ideas that they seem unreachable.
