Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work with a designer? Basically, you’re hiring a design expert who will be your PARTNER throughout your project and gives you a plan that takes you from start to finish.
It’s like having a personal trainer for your fitness journey that takes you from where you are today to where you want to be in 6 months. A design team helps ensure you have a smooth process, helps you stay motivated, and helps you reach your goals!
Benefits of Working with a Designer
So, if you are still having thoughts about working with a designer, here are the key ways a designer guides you through your design journey:
1. Provides Design Assessment and Creative Solutions
We love to educate our clients about the process and come up with out-of-the-box solutions. A designer provides you:
- A professional assessment of your spaces to help you focus on clear priorities and bring you creative solutions to design dilemmas.
- The best solutions for your home. We often see people spending their time and energy on areas we wouldn’t prioritize.
- New ideas to open your mind and push you outside your comfort zone
2. Creates your own personalized and unique design.
Everyone’s favorite part is that they get a cool, unique, modern, and fun design! If you are stuck on finding the right color, furniture, or style, this is where a good design team will make a big difference. Key decisions from space layout to furniture selection are made with you in mind.
- Expert design mixologists. We’re experts at mixing styles and can combine styles to give you a tailored design.
- Curators of your best products. We choose the best options for YOU based on your style, budget, and lifestyle.
- Interior Design Educators: We teach you about furniture construction and materials, so you can make the best decisions.
