9 Surprising Benefits of Hiring an Interior Designer
Many people don't realize that there are so many more, and unique, benefits of working with an interior designer than just a beautiful space (which is a given, right?!?).
1. Interior Designers Can Get You Below-Market Prices
Yep! you heard that right. We can SAVE you money. One of the biggest benefits is the vendor relationships that interior designers build with their sources. We are able to buy furnishings and materials at a discount and at Sharp + Grey that preferred pricing is shared with clients, so you can get quality furnishings and materials at below retail pricing.
And with our dedicated trade sales reps, who are familiar with us and our projects, we are able to manage issues (that always inevitably come up) quickly and efficiently. No waiting on hold with a random customer service rep from an 800 number.
2. Interior Designers Keep Your Project Efficient
Working with an interior designer also brings a huge amount of project efficiency. This isn't our first rodeo, and we have well thought out systems and process in place to help your project run smoothly from start to finish.
Renovations are a perfect example, there are so many trades people, vendors, architects, and builders involved in any renovation and as a designer we can act as a liaison between all these groups to make the project run smoothly and help figure out creative and thoughtful solutions to any design or building challenge in your home.
3. Interior Designers Help You Avoid Expensive Mistakes
Have you ever bought a sofa and realized it didn't fit in the doorway, or painted a room 3 times before getting the right color white? We spend a lot of time up front on all projects getting to know you, planning and designing and take into account all aspects of your space to create a well thought out design that is unique to you and your lifestyle.
With all the experience and knowledge we bring to a project, not to mention all the upfront planning to make sure all the details are thought out, we can avoid those costly mistakes with your home design or renovation project by getting it right the first time. Another money saver!
4. Interior Designers Help Keep Your Timeline Intact
We also help avoid timeline-destroying mistakes by utilizing our design and execution process for maximum efficiency. We help manage a project from start to finish.
5. Interior Designers Solve Problems Creatively
During any project, problems will always arise, but working with a designer means you can utilize our creativity and experience on your project to help solve those problems quickly. We can manage those headaches for you so you can spend your time doing… other cool things .
6. Interior Designers Style One-of-a-Kind Unique Spaces
Our process includes time spent getting to know you, your family and your home, learn what you like and dislike and can help you determine your style. Do you have a piece of heirloom furniture that was passed down to you, and don't know how to incorporate it into the design of your home?
We take into account allll the things that you cherish and build them into your design seamlessly. We collaborate from start to finish so you are left with a home that is truly unique and designed to your tastes and your lifestyle.
7. Interior Designers Create Functional Spaces for Your Lifestyle
Design is not just about beautiful spaces, although, hey that’s a real benefit, it's also about functionality and how you live in your home. When you work with a designer, function comes first. We take the time at the beginning of the process to build in the functionality that you need in your home based on your lifestyle.
