Why hire an interior designer?

​Most homes take a lot of time and dedication to work just right for a family. Each room serves for more than one function usually and takes time for the family to get harmony in a space. But sometimes despite time, many trials of different layouts and schemes, the home just doesn't feel like it is functioning to its best ability.

​Everyone has areas in their home which don't quite work, this may be an office or a spare bedroom, or even a dining room. Sometimes these areas can extend and take over the whole house. Be it because of changing family circumstances and needs, or just not having had the brain space to properly focus on and tackle the space. 

​These areas can be really tricky to deal with and this is when you should call in help. You may feel overwhelmed with the thought of starting a project, because of time constraints, lack of inspiration or lack of knowledge on process.

This is the time to engage with your friendly interior designer. We can help you visualise the space from a fresh perspective. We can help deliver solutions for your most pressing problems, be it storage, or flow within your space making it more usable and valuable to you. We can also help you avoid costly mistakes such as buying the wrong sofa, installing the wrong tile in a bathroom, or putting the kitchen in the wrong space. 

The value I give to my clients as a designer includes a dedicated and well thought out scheme from beginning to end, with all aspects considered for the process ahead.

​This is including lighting, heating, furniture layouts that work for different times of the day and uses of the space, storage, aesthetic  cohesion and detail.  I draw inspiration from the clients and what they require and dream of the space before we embark on the journey as it allows me to create a more bespoke space and a place that they truly feel nested in.

But just when is the best time to hire an interior designer? The short answer, is as early as possible. I've been involved with clients from their property search phase where I helped give them vision and ideas for the properties that we short listed. It is important as this allows you to visualise the space in its final state, sometimes this can be very difficult to think about at the viewing stage. It encouraged them to go for a property that needed a bit of work, but all properties will need some work, even if it is just aesthetic, so why not invest in somewhere that can truly be spectacular. 

​Another client hired me prior to embarking on an extension to their townhouse. This allowed the space to be design led, and not just functional but also beautiful. We worked with the architect and building team to develop a scheme that was considered and beautiful, delivering the kind of space that was practical but also had its aesthetics planned. This would included the lines of sight that one would achieve inside the property and the views in and out of the space.  Everything down to the positioning of lamps in the living room and the phone chargers in the kitchen was considered. 

So in short, ask for help in creating your beautiful dream home as early as possible. This will give you the best outcome and avoid any costly mistakes.  Head to our contact page now to book your free initial consultation.
