I wanted my first blog article to highlight the importance of hiring the right professional for the job. There are many choices for Interior Designers in our city. Why should you choose an Interior Decorator as opposed to an Interior Designer? Read more to find out my take on it!
Specialized Service
It has been my experience that Interior Designers are very talented professionals. Why am I not an Interior Designer? I have decided not to continue on a path leading to drafting or 3-D modelling training at this time. I believe that there is a fine line between a Decorator and a Designer. I have chosen to concentrate my time on becoming a Decorating Specialist. What does that mean? I find it so fulfilling to help my customers with all the small details. Details like paint colours, cabinet and door hardware, and lighting are all parts of the project that could be left as an afterthought but I believe they are important pieces that should be thought of at the beginning and the entire way through the project. I provide specialised home styling services to my clients so that Everyday can be STYLISH!
Knowledge and Expertise
Since I have decided to focus my consulting services on decor and finishes I find that I am able to stay on top of the latest trends of styles and colours. An interior decorator is someone who helps you plan for your entire project. Planning ahead of time may be the difference between having room for those gorgeous wall sconces in your en-suite or not. I believe that my customers work hard for their money and every cent should count on their project! Planning ahead for your vision means less wasted money and time. Don't learn things the hard way - ask a decorator who is willing to do research on anything they might not be familiar with and who works with other trusted professionals.
Staying On Track
I want to keep you on track for timeline and budget. Those two words are ones you may get so tired of hearing - but it must be discussed! Hiring a decorator means just another expense that will add more to my project though, right? Hmm.. Nope! An interior stylist will stop you from making unnecessary purchases and short-sighted upgrades. I want your home to be STUNNING but I also want you to be able to sleep at night after the project is finished - not losing sleep over if you are spending smartly or not. I will be able to offer counsel along the way about what types of upgrades will be worth it to you and which won't. Having a professional you trust with you along the way will make it possible for you to make decisions quicker. Less delays = earlier enjoyment of your finished space.
