5 Reasons Why You Should Work With An Online Interior Designer
Now that you’ve moved into your new home, the next step is to furnish and decorate the space. But where do you start? Are you staring at empty rooms, not quite sure how to go about furnishing the place or where to even begin?
Online or virtual interior design is an affordable alternative to full service interior design and is perfect for those starting out with their first homes. It’s all done remotely via video or phone calls and email. Whether you need help with space planning and furniture sourcing or need help with selecting materials for a kitchen or bathroom renovation, here are 5 reasons why working with an online interior designer is a smart option.
Save time
Hiring an online interior designer will save you time --a virtual service means no time wasted with in-person meetings or driving around. As a new homeowner, there are so many things to think of and take care of - let a professional help with designing your space. A designer does all the research so you don’t have to spend time doing what they can do in the fraction of time it would take you.
Save money
Working with an interior designer can save you money by helping you avoid costly mistakes. They know how to source furniture at different price points, can stick to a budget and have knowledge of the best places to shop and have trade only resources.
Professional guidance / ‘Designer-eye’
An interior designer/decorator knows how to lay out furniture for the best use of space and flow within different spaces. They know how to make a home feel cohesive and give you that happy, cozy feeling when you walk into a space. Interior designers will bring ideas that you would have never thought of on your own.
Decision making
Sometimes the hardest part is narrowing down options and making decisions and this is something that a designer can help with. If you and a partner are at odds on a style, a designer can bring options and can help with making decisions that will make both people happy.
Prevent mistakes
There are certain things that a new homeowner may not know or think of because they are in unfamiliar territory. Given that a designer deals with homeowner design dilemmas all the time, they can provide guidance on what to do and more importantly, what not to do (like buying a rug or sofa that’s too small or too big for a space!).
