An interior designer is on-hand throughout the entire design process to provide support and ensure you don’t make any costly mistakes, ultimately saving you time and money.
5 Ways an interior designer can pay for itself!
1. Managing Budget

3. Property Value Increase
Whilst many homeowners become influenced by the current trend of the moment, most interior designers agree that implementing a timeless style is the key to ensuring you will love your design in years to come. When it comes to selling your home in the future, it is known that a well-designed property can increase your home’s value. According to Victoria Harvey, a well-designed home can increase your property value between 7.5 – 12.5%.
4. You will benefit from Trade discounts.
As professionals, interior designers have access to trade only discounts; these can sometimes be as much as 20% at popular high-street shops. When applying discounts for all design items including furniture, accessories, lighting and flooring…. this can quickly begin to add up. Often you will find that the discount amount will cover much of the designer fee, saving you a great deal of money and time.
5. Using Reliable and Trusted Services.
It can be difficult to find good contacts that you can trust. Interior Designers work on many projects so have all the connections that you will need, including electricians, builders and plumbers. Using your interior designer to help source contractors ensures that the professionals you are hiring are reliable, trustworthy and will install at the highest quality, avoiding any costly mistakes and ultimately saving time and money.
