7 reasons to use an interior designer

beautiful homes don't just happen, they are created

Our homes are where we spend our time, it’s where we write our story.  

It’s our goal to help you make your home beautiful, functional, peaceful and enjoyable - creating the best possible backdrop for your to live your life, infusing value into your home on the way.  

Working with a professional interior designer may be a big step, but can ultimately deliver a result far beyond what you imagined, infusing value into your home on the way.

Creating a vision

Are you struggling to see the finished look you’re aiming for with your renovation or build project? An interior designer can help you create or clarify a clear vision for your home and pinpoint your style. This helps making the myriad of design decisions throughout the project so much easier - you will have a clear vision and frame of reference for all the choices you will make

Saving you time

The range choices can be overwhelming. Solid wood, engineered timber or composite wood floors? What splash back will match my other kitchen finishes? Which white is the right white paint? There are literally hundreds of decisions to make during a renovation or building project. A professional interior designer knows what products are available, what works and what doesn’t. We make it easy for you, presenting two or three options for each finish or furnishing. Behind the scenes we will have often searched through a myriad of possibilities to come up with the selections that are right for you and your home. We source the best options for you, removing the headache from the decision making process.

Making your budget go further

An interior designer knows how to get you the best quality for your money and the best items for your budget. As a recognised interior designer studio with established trade suppliers, we are able to provide clients with below-retail pricing. It's a win win - your pieces will be designer-sourced and of the best quality - at less cost than if you brought them yourself.

Avoid costly mistakes

We've all been there - making the fatal mistake of walking into a store and falling in love with a piece of furniture without fully taking into consideration how it’s going to work in our space. An interior designer can help you prevent costly mistakes by guiding you to confidently make the right choices for your home. Your home is your investment - you want to get it right.

Unique sources

As professional interior designers, we have access to a world of “trade only” suppliers, rather than buying items designed for the masses from chain-store retailers. Most of our suppliers don't sell directly to the public, so your pieces won't be the same as everyone else - they will be high quality, designer-sourced pieces chosen specifically for you and your home.

Customisation

If an interior designer can’t find just the right piece for your home, we have it created for you.  We work with trusted suppliers to produce the perfect piece for you. This is often the case with sofas and occasional chairs - we can tailor the fabric, style, size, configuration and comfort specifically for your home and your lifestyle, creating something that you will absolutely love for many many years to come.
