How to Find the Right Interior Designer for you?

Interior Designers should always take time to listen to you, what you are looking for and to understand any thoughts you have before they start talking to you about suggested themes and colour schemes.

They should manage your budget, time frames and do all the research and planning, leaving you to make the decisions and enjoy the end results. Choosing the right interior designer for your project is crucial to ensure you have a result that you love. You should connect really well with them and their creative style, as well as feeling relaxed with them and able to communicate well with them to ensure they understand what you want to achieve.

Recommendations are always a really good place to start if you decide you need an interior designer but if you don’t have anyone who has any recommendation then start following people or businesses on Instagram and Pinterest and look at magazines to get a feel for the style you might be looking for. Use the internet to find interior designers in your area and look at their websites to get a feel for them and their work. This will help you get an understanding of their style which you should love before you consider working with them.
