How to choose the perfect interior designer?
A interior design pro should develop safe and attractive solutions that meet your needs.
Now that you moved into your new apartment it’s time to decorate!
You can do this two ways. On your own with DIY projects and other blogger ideas or hire an interior decorator. If you go with an interior designer, remember that they are going to learn a lot about your personal life. They learn your peculiar needs, your likes and dislikes, how you live in your home etc.
So when looking for candidates, make sure you mesh and they ask you the right questions.
INTERIOR DESIGN IS ALL ABOUT YOU.
A good interior should understand your tastes.
I would recommend not hiring a design that will come in and say, “Everything must go!”.
Unless of course that is what you want. When a designer sees a room for the first time they should ask you “What do you love about this room?”. This gives the designer a first insight of your style.
The second question should be “What do you hate in this room?” These simple questions will help the designer to better understand your taste and your expectations. This also points to the things you want to replace.
A good designer won’t try to change your mind when it comes to things you like and dislike.
TALK WITH YOUR INTERIOR DESIGNER.
Describe the house where you want to live.
When it comes to decorating your home, communication is key.
Make sure you tell your designer what colors you love. You can describe it as bright colors, black and white, neutrals, pastels, fall colors, etc. Also make sure to mention what colors you hate. It is important none of these ends up into the space.
Don’t forget to mention how you use the room. For example a kitchen is of course used for cooking. But in the case that you work from home and need an area to do work that would be important to mention. If you have a favorite look or style that you want to create show your designer pictures or explain it to them. This is your space and it is important you get everything you want and need.
After you describe your needs, you should discuss your budget. If it is small you can make a plan to tackle the project. For every budget their is always a solution. Whether it’s a small project or big one, a decorator can help you get the results you are looking for. But make sure your designer is asking the right questions.
CHOOSE THE IDEAL INTERIOR DESIGNER.
Take some time to select the right interior design professional.
Don’t rush to pick up the person who will transform your house decoration. You must select a pro who understand you and your needs. Together you will create the home with the atmosphere and functionality you want.
