I think everyone should be able to have a great home no matter their budget. That’s why I love being an interior designer and helping people create spaces they didn’t think were possible. However, I know that many people get confused and intimidated by the idea of hiring a designer. Most people think that interior designers just charge a bazillion dollars and are only for the super wealthy among us. Others think that interior designers don’t really do anything or don’t understand the design process. (For an in-depth explanation of the design process, click here.) At IBA, I totally understand these fears and that’s why I provide free in-home consultations as well as a full suite of design services so that you can transform your space even on a small budget. But if you need more, read on for the full benefits of hiring a designer.
1. You’ll save time
Planning and executing a home improvement project consists of a lot of small decisions, shopping, planning, ordering etc. Each task adds up and takes a while. Having a designer do the planning, shopping and ordering on your behalf frees you up to do the things that you do best while the designer does what she does best.
2. You’ll save money
This one’s a biggie. People think that design fees must be exorbitantly high and that the designer will try to convince you to buy things you can’t afford. The truth is that when hiring a designer, you’ll give her a budget and she’ll do her best to stay within that budget. A designer is going to know how to get the best value out of your budget. Your designer can also guide you on where to splurge and where to save. This leads me to reason #3.
3. You’ll get it right the first time
You may buy a piece of furniture and then it just doesn’t seem right for the space or you choose a paint color and then have to repaint 3 times until you get it right. A designer can save you from headaches like this. Trying things out in your space and then finding that they don’t work costs you time and money. Hiring a designer and getting it right the first time ensures that you haven’t wasted your precious time and money.
4. They’ll give you that perfect blend of beauty and function
Sometimes a room is beautiful but doesn’t really work the way you want it to. Sometimes a room is functional but you don’t like being there because it just looks ugly. Or, your space looks ugly and isn’t functional. A designer will work together with you to create a space that is both beautiful and functional so you won’t have to choose between the two.
5. You won’t be overwhelmed
Even if you have great style and know exactly what you want in your space, making so many decisions can leave you drained and overwhelmed. Having a designer to guide you through those decisions will ensure you don’t get burned out before the end of the project. You’ll be better equipped to enjoy the process without the headache.
6. You’re going to have access better resources and contacts
A designer will have a rolodex of vendors and tradespeople who will work together to create the space of your dreams. It may be difficult to find a good painter, a good electrician and a good handyman. But your designer works in the field so they have good connections and vendors they trust. You won’t have to do research and interview people. Your designer will take care of it for you.
7. You’re getting someone trained in this field
A designer will usually have some type of training or internship as well as experience under their belts. Someone who does this day and and day out will be able to guide you so you won’t have to make mistakes along the way. Designers can see the big picture better than your average person. Also, as an objective outsider, a designer may see things you don’t. There are so many elements that go into interior design that you may not even think about but your designer will.

I am 100% on board with hiring an interior decorator. I’ve made too many expensive mistakes trying to decorate on my own. When we built our current home, I made the decision to hire an interior decorator and I love my home decor.
Hi Karen! Thanks so much for your comment! Yes, when building a home you 100% need an interior designer. Way too many decisions for one person to make on their own.
