You’ve Recently Moved Into A New Home

You have just invested a good deal of money in your new dream home. The movers have left and you are standing in the middle of your belongings when a slow panic starts to set in.  You realize that some of your existing furniture doesn’t fit the scale of your new house, you are overwhelmed by the thought of selecting paint colors and window treatments, and you now realize that your style has changed since you furnished your last home – but you are not sure what your new style is.  Don’t stress and start binging on HGTV.  It is probably just a good time to consider hiring a professional interior decorator to help you create the home of your Pinterest dreams – a home that not only looks beautiful and is uniquely yours, but one that is also functional and practical to live in. 

Many people are intimidated by the idea of hiring an interior decorator.  You might be worried about the design process or the cost of working with a design consultant.  But working with a professional can actually save you money and time, while ensuring that you get the home you have always wanted.

Reason 1:

Save Money

How does hiring an interior decorator save you money when you are hiring a service at an additional fee?  First, an interior decorator can help you avoid costly mistakes and reduce unwanted spending.  Have ever bought a piece of furniture that looked great online or in the store, but was too large when you got it home? Or perhaps you have painted your master bedroom three times to try to find the right color palette. 

Hiring an interior decorator can help you avoid these types of costly mistakes. A consultant will make sure that the overall layout is functional as well as beautiful.  A trained eye can help you find the right balance and harmony in your design.

A professional can help you stay on budget and guide you to select the right high-quality pieces that will never go out of style. Additionally, most decorators will share eligible trade discounts so clients will often end up paying below retail on many items. 

Reason 2:

Save Time

Researching and selecting the right pieces can take hours and numerous traffic-filled drives to find one piece of furniture. Then the purchasing, delivery scheduling and potential resolution of any merchandise issues can take more stress-filled time.  

Hiring a decorator can not only benefit you financially, but can save you countless hours of frustration.  A professional decorator knows where to go to source the best materials, within your budget, and presents your unique design to you in the comfort of your own home. 

Reason 3:

Dream Home Decor That Exceeds Expectations (Bye-Bye Beige)

Is your home filled with all grey and beige elements – not because beige is your favorite color (is it anyone’s favorite color?) but because you are afraid of picking the wrong colors.  A professional interior decorator knows how to best combine colors and patterns effectively to create a beautiful and lively space. Or if beige and white really are your zen, a professional can help you layer textures and shades to create the perfect calm and quiet interior that is not dull and boring.  A decorator understands how to balance color, light, scale and texture and the science of how spaces should flow and where best to place furniture.

An interior decorator can also help you find and enhance your style to create a home that reflects who you are.  Professional decorators have access to “trade only” resources that can unlock a new world of furnishings, fabrics and accessories that you have never seen before, helping you create a beautiful, unique and cohesive space.

The Consultation: Start With A Small Commitment 

Many new homeowners are not ready to commit to a full-service design. A great way to start without making a significant investment in time or money is to book a consultation with an interior decorator. Consultations typically are up to two hours and can help guide your decisions on choosing furniture, placing art or selecting colors, fabrics or window treatments. After the consultation, if you decide you need more direction in creating the perfect space, you can move forward with a full-service or other design package.
