Things to consider when hiring an interior designer

Hiring an interior designer is a significant decision that can greatly influence the success of your project.

Here are some key factors to consider:

Timeline

Determine the timeline for your project and engage an interior designer early, especially if you’re involved in a new build or major renovation.

The earlier they’re involved, the better they can align their designs with construction or remodeling phases and allow for potential lead times for materials and furnishings (some items you must order now for Christmas delivery!)

It also ensures you can work with the designer you want if you are able to secure their involvement early on.

Budget

Be clear about your budget from the start. This helps the designer propose realistic designs and materials that fit within the funds you are comfortable investing.

Aesthetic

Choose a designer whose aesthetic aligns with your taste. Look at their portfolio to see if their past work reflects what you envision for your space.

Collaboration

Discuss expectations upfront, including the frequency of updates, preferred communication channels, and decision-making processes as this will allow for a smoother project.

By carefully considering these factors, you can select an interior designer who aligns with your vision, budget, timeline - ultimately ensuring a successful and enjoyable project.
