Is Hiring an Interior Designer Worth It?

For many, redecorating or redesigning their space starts out as an exciting project. However, after hours of Pinterest, Instagram or saving items to your cart on your favorite online store the whole project becomes daunting.

Even if you can pull together a full picture of your new space, you still need to consider getting the best value products, finding great trades to get work done, handling communications with contractors — all while staying in your budget.

We find even creatively minded people can still benefit from hiring an interior designer. A skilled interior designer will be able to identify the emotional blocks you have towards seeing the best version of your space.

Continue reading for 4 top reasons why it is worth it to hire an interior designer. 

• Interior Designers Bring an Experienced Perspective.

Fresh eyes on a project will help you let go and find a solution that will truly make you happy. They may be the only ones to convince you that the sofa you got on Kijiji may need to go! A great designer can help you identify your pain points even when you aren’t even aware they are causing you stress.

• Professional Interior Designers and Decorators will save you time.

If your friend offers help with your design idea, that’s great! But if they recommend a piece of furniture that wouldn’t even fit in your home, it’s just a mistake. A professional interior designer has a reputation to uphold and will most likely not make these types of mistakes with your project. Not only do designers understand the creative elements of a project, but they are also excellent project managers. The number one reason for project delays within any renovation type of project is the lack of communication and planning of the phases of the project.  Professional Interior designers can help you juggle the elements of the project without dropping the ball.

• Interior Designers will help you Improve the Functionality of your Space while making it Beautiful.

There really is no one-size-fits-all solution. In order to account for a space that will work for you and your family, your designer will have to get to know you pretty well. When you work with an empathetic designer, they will listen, observe, and identify many elements of what you are looking for. They don’t just uncover your “design style” but also your personality, habits, and lifestyle to ensure a happy and functional solution.

At Mindwell Design, we believe your space shouldn’t just be beautiful and functional but bring you mental and physical wellbeing through incorporating neuroaesthetics and biophilic design principles into our custom solutions.

• Interior Designers can save you money through their network of trades and suppliers.

To satisfy the rational side of your brain, a well-networked interior designer will most likely save you more than they cost. Some designers will know very detailed-oriented contractors and skilled craftspeople for your project.

Some designers are also able to negotiate lower costs for premium finishing,  furniture, and decor. They can have a wide variety of vendors and suppliers which enables you to get more value for your budget.

By working with a skilled interior designer, you can be assured you “get it right” and transform your space into a functional and beautiful place to live.

At Mindwell Design we are passionate about ensuring improved mental and wellbeing by incorporating advanced lighting, air quality, biophilic design, and neuroaesthetic design principles into our custom solutions.
