If you don’t know where to begin decorating or staging your home, need help tying pieces together, or simply don’t have the time, hiring an interior designer or home stager has many benefits. Forget the notion that interior designers or home stagers are only for high-end homes.
In reality, hiring a professional to decorate or stage a home can save anyone a great deal of time, money and energy. It can help avoid costly mistakes when building or remodeling. And it can increase the value of a home and decrease the amount of time on the market when selling. A professional can tell clients where they need to spend money and how they can save money without affecting the value of their investment.
Home stagers and designers are skilled at repurposing, editing, and adding to existing pieces. They can assist in determining what furniture, accessories, and artwork will work in a new home and which pieces should be sold or donated.
A designer also has access to resources and products that are not available to the general public. There are worlds of fabrics, furnishings, and accessories that are “to the trade” only. An interior designer can help create a uniquely personal environment.
Selling, building, or remodeling a home can be overwhelming. A professional is able to narrow down the countless choices, saving time and energy, while minimizing the stress of making a wrong decision. Professionals are trained to think about and see things homeowners may overlook. A designer can act as a liaison between a homeowner and an architect or contractor. By knowing a client’s lifestyle needs and favorite belongings, a designer can help avoid costly design mistakes.
