What the experts say...

Interior designer Sandy Bonnici suggests it might be worth hiring a professionally trained designer to get the job done. The right person can help you identify what you are looking for and create a set of plans and work drawings that will ultimately result in a smoother work process.

Here are some valuable tips to consider.

Where to look

Ask your local friends or real estate agents for leads. Ideally, use someone local as they will have trade contacts. Try to get a good feel for the projects they have done via their social media accounts. Most interior designers can work with a broad range of styles and budgets, but you can tell whether designers are comfortable and experienced with your style by browsing their portfolios.

What to Consider

The level of detail for every project may vary, so it is good to establish this from the start. Some designers may offer turnkey services or project management, taking the pressure of the work out of clients’ hands. You will also want to understand the workflow: the meeting schedule, design approval, products used, and the expected timeline.

The aim is to find someone that relates to your style and whom you may find pleasurable to work with for the duration of your project.

Communicating with your designer

Discuss the best way to reach your designer for questions between regularly scheduled updates. Your interior designer wants you to be excited and satisfied with your space.
