Obviously, we are incredibly bias on this topic and our answer would be a resounding yes! Let us explore this topic and explain to you why…
Saves your Sanity
With so much inspiration to be found in places like Pinterest, Instagram and home improvement shows, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with options and have your head spinning in a design whirlwind.
We can look at what would look best in your room, how you live your day-to-day life, space requirements and the vibe you’re trying to create and put it all together into a cohesive design quickly and efficiently.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
A cliche you’ve no doubt heard. The perfect starting point in the design process is always a conceptual mood board to get the visual low-down. Interior designers and stylists know how to put together images and items that work together and it’s an absolute must have for ensuring there’s a clear understanding of what type of atmosphere and style the clients trying to create. Visual imagery helps clarify what’s in your minds eye, see pieces side by side to help refine items, and visualize the potential of your space.
Saves Valuable Time
Ever purchase a new item you fell in love with at the store, only to get in home and realize its way bigger or smaller than what you planned for? Or spend hours searching for an item only to bring it into your room and find it doesn’t work with your other furnishings and room elements?
It takes time to pull together a great room and even more time if you’re juggling with family, work, and social life, the list goes on..
And making bigger decisions for permanent design elements like renovations can be even more overwhelming and leave you feeling helpless and stuck. Designers enable you to see exactly what your project will become and take the countless hours of guess work and the expense of trial and error out of the picture.
Saves Money
Do you feel interior designers and stylists are something of a luxury you can’t afford? Or maybe a service only for those that have money to burn?
The truth of the matter is this service can save you money.
Designers often get discounts from vendors and that can really add up, especially for bigger purchases. These discounts can greatly off-set the designers fee.
Proper space planning can also save you hefty restocking fees if you’re left to return items that don’t fit your room, which can also be an extremely frustrating process. For bigger items you had delivered, or items ordered online this can be especially painful, time consuming and expensive.
It can even make you money if you’re trying to sell your home or plan to in the future.
If your home is on the market for sale, a staged home can bring in a sale about 75% faster and give a better impression than an un-staged home, leaving the potential for a higher selling price. If your home isn’t currently on the market but may be in the future, this is a great choice as you can enjoy a beautifully designed home while you live in it and reap the rewards in the future when it’s up for sale.
Virtual design and styling is an online service that can offer you an immersive way to visualize your space with even better pricing options than many offline designers who charges by the hour for tasks like driving time and site visits, so if you’re budget savvy this is another great choice to have the home of your dreams without breaking the bank!
