7 Reasons to choose an interior designer

You don’t have to be rich to hire a designer for your interior. Work with the right interior designer even can save you money, stress and time and you can ward off disastrous “do-it-yourself” errors.

Through social media and magazines we are almost daily flooded with ideas & advices how to create the most beautiful interiors. But the question is: How can you realize this?

Of course, the picture of the room in the interior magazine looks fantastic! But … does it also look so great in your (future) home? Customers sometimes tell me how they ‘fell in love’ with a room that they saw in a magazine. Then they ordered all the furniture and accessories and finally had to determine that nothing fit. A big disappointment.

What you see online or in magazines can give you a good starting point and inspiration for how you want your house to look like. But on the way to bring this to a good end result you have to manage different (sometimes complicated) aspects. Then specific knowledge and expertise is needed.

For example, you must take into account size, scale, layout/placement, purpose, lighting, color, fabric selection & materials, budget, the atmosphere that you want to realize, use of accessories & styling and how the spaces will be used eventually. All this can be a vast, chaotic and tough job: everything is dependent on each other. Where do you start? A professional interior designer can support you on this!

I like to help you with all interior issues, large or small. Designing an interior is a creative collaboration. No one-way traffic from me (the interior designer) who puts his style on to your interior and asks you an astronomical budget. The most beautiful interiors often arise by a good collaboration with the customer.

You have interior design ideas, but you are not able to bring everything together. Sometimes, you know exactly what you want, but you don’t know how you can realize it. Looking for a new couch is mostly not the problem. To bring it together with a beautiful carpet and a color on the walls is often trickier.

C. Try, if you have a partner, to agree as much as possible. But make sure you both can choose what you like and don’t like in an interior.
I help you in the search for a compromise and indicate good choices.
