Although websites, blogs and social media have opened up the world of DIY design to consumers, sometimes doing it yourself doesn't produce the expected final product. Hiring a designer may seem like an expensive option, but when it comes down to it, designers often save clients money and ensure the job is completed.
Award-winning designer with Bernhardt Interiors, Kelly Dunlop, joined us with three reasons to hire a designer:
- Designers act as the liaison between clients and contractors
Designers help clients select materials and design elements, and then they pass that information on to the contractor. The client doesn't have to worry about supervising the whole job if a designer is involved. - Designers can help clients avoid costly mistakes
If you hire an experienced designer, he or she will know the most common mistakes homeowners make when it comes to redesigning and help you avoid them. In the long run, avoiding those costly missteps upfront can save money and time. - Designers have a wide variety of resources at their fingertips
Designers work closely with many industry experts to get the job done. A designer can save you months of research by using their own resources and knowledge. Many designers work with professionals they personally trust.
