You should ideally hire an interior designer at the earliest stages of your project, especially in these scenarios:
1. Before Architectural Planning:
If you’re embarking on a new build or major renovation, bringing in a designer before the architectural plans are finalized allows us to collaborate with your architect. This ensures that the layout, flow, and design elements are aligned with your vision right from the start, potentially saving time and costs later.
2. During the Conceptual Phase:
When you’re beginning to form ideas about your space but haven’t yet made any concrete decisions, a designer can help refine your vision, offering guidance on style, layout, and materials. Early involvement ensures that every decision is cohesive and in line with your goals.
3. Before Construction or Renovation Begins:
Hiring a designer before construction starts ensures that all design details are planned and communicated to the contractors and trades. This can prevent costly changes or delays during the construction phase, as the design will be integrated into the build from the outset.
5. When You’re Considering a Redesign or Refresh:
Even if you’re only thinking about refreshing your space, it’s beneficial to consult with a designer early on. We can help you assess your current space, define your goals, and develop a plan that maximizes your budget and timeline.
Early involvement of an interior designer ensures that every aspect of your project is thoughtfully planned and executed, leading to a more cohesive and satisfying result.
