Benefits of having an Interior Designer in Los Angeles
Many people have a knack for making things look good.
A knack is AWESOME, it’s just not an interior design practice (yet. Tell your stylish friend we to sign up for my newsletter, I love to empower will-be designers!) It’s important for clients to differentiate between a proprietary design process and a flair for decor. Interior Design is a business.
Sometimes you may just need your stylish friend to tell you if it looks ok. By all means do that when it makes sense if it works for you! But when you are furnishing or remodeling an entire house, or moving into a home of a different level, you may find there are huge benefits to hiring a professional interior designer.
So many clients want a fresh, organized, serene home full of comfortable places to be and things they treasure! We provide that. So many clients want their home to look different, and specific to them. We provide that. So many clients want quality and healthy pieces. We provide that!
#6. Interior Designers Can Help Keep Your Design Timeline
Efficient Sequencing a job is not something people are born knowing how to do, a critical path and decision schedule are created, proposal and approvals must follow in time and designers stay ahead of contractors by showing you options in ample time for you to make decisions before the items are needed.
#5. Interior Designers Create Uniquely Functional Space
Our clients may have similar professions (doctors, attorneys, entertainment, sports) but they all have unique needs. From event wear storage, to dog/yoga rooms to gym baths (where your masseuses can set up), to grandkid’s guest rooms, to studio rooms, to thoughtful ways to maximize space in a small home or to transform the feeling of the whole space by remodeling just one wall, it can all be under the interior design umbrella.
We’ve had clients who cook and clients who collect and clients who game and clients who puzzle. It’s all custom to your home and your life, and elements of your needs and interests can be tailored to enhance your home, and everyone’s experience!
#4. Interior Designers Make Your Home Personal
I LURVE social media and Pinterest and all the others. Interior designers don’t recreate other people’s designs, we use the images you curate to tailor the essence or feeling of the space to you, specifically.
#3. Interior Designers Bring You Their Network
I know 100s of designers. 1000s of vendors. I’ve toured factories, plumbing makers, cabinet makers, case goods, tile, rug and more upholstery than I can count. Many, many interior design professionals have done the same. Make sure whoever you select has a deep body of knowledge for what they are putting in your home and a reason behind it. Make sure they are directing you to items appropriate for your level of real estate. It can harm your home’s value to have cheap finishes and fixtures.
#2. Interior Designers Give You Peace of Mind
Aside from all the normal reasons (ie most people can’t see undertone in color, many interior designers have a trained eye to this and can tell you why certain things do not match, or scale, people always tell me how they got the scale wrong on something and wasted money or bought the strip mall chain store sofa and had to replace it 7 months later), many designers have been calling the same subcontractors for years and years and years. We know them. We know their crews. We know their families! We know what they need to do their best work and their specialties and strengths. We can’t sign the contract for you, and you need to be comfortable with whoever you hire, but isn’t it better to have a solid, qualified referral from an expert thats know the work and seen it for years? Most of our subs are available only through a design professional, or a General Contractor they know.
#1. Interior Designers Transform Lives
I love when we meet people, they are usually coming out of a change or going into one. Kids have become school aged. Kids have gone to college.Someone has signed a particular contract, someone’s show was picked up. It’s usually a aspirational time and the feeling of overwhelm being caused by visual chaos or inherited items, dated bathrooms or kitchens that don’t function to todays standard just doesn’t match their lives anymore.
So many clients just need a fresh, organized, serene home full of comfortable places to be and things they treasure! We provide it.
It’s our great pleasure and honor to provide discerning clients with the personal, beautiful and serene backdrops for their lives!For more advice and inspiration, don’t forget to sign up for the newsletter.
