Why should I hire a designer?
This is a question I get often and I’d like to unpack it here since many of you may be asking the same thing. If you’re considering hiring a designer, here are the top 3 benefits:
- Trade Discounts! As a Designer, I have trade accounts with large retailers as well as “trade only” companies that will basically pay for my design fee*
- Time⌛︎It takes me hours and sometimes days to complete a thorough design, floor plan, and source list for my clients. You have to ask yourself: “What is the best use of my time” and I promise you, it’s worth it to hire a professional.
- Expertise + Experience💡I’ve designed countless spaces with varying budgets. I’ve overcome many design challenges and I’m well versed in the construction/remodel side of design. I can cost effectively design a space without having to propose weeks of construction for my client’s.
*I want to further break down the savings with a real-life example! My latest client’s budget for furniture + design for their living, dining, + counter stools was all in $7,500. It was a ~398 sq ft room and I charged a $750 design fee (~$2/sq ft) for design + procurement. The retail cost of all of the furniture I sourced was around $8,200, with my trade discounts, I was able to provide procurement of furniture AND design for $6,350! This allowed my client an extra ~$1,000 for styling accessories, which I gladly sourced!
