The Right Design Partner for You
After finally deciding to hire a professional interior designer, the next step is finding our the best partner in designing your home. Who should you hire?
Of course, you need to do some research on prospective designers. You need to check out their credentials. Do they belong to some design organizations? Do they possess a license, or certifications? Where do they get their formal training and education?
Next, you have to check their previous works. Examine their portfolio, and you have to be discerning. Don’t be swayed by beautiful layouts and photos. Determine whether their previous designs resonate with your design preference, needs and personality.
Instead, look for their range of style. Do the design follow the same plan, or do they have a range of styles? How does the designer adapt color palette, combine styles, and create texture? How do they re-imagine the space and lay out the floor plan?
Before meeting your prospect interior designer, it is best to have some criteria on choosing the right design partner:
1. A good design partner should be able to understand you. You and your interior designer should be on the same page. By asking pointed questions when you meet, you should be able to determine your future working relationship.
2. Interior designer should be able to listen to your design ideas and really want to get to know you. They have to establish a relationship to know your personality, so they can formulate a design concept tailored fit for all people who will be living or working in that given space.
3. Look for a designer who believes in the collaborative process of designing. An interior designer may suggest how a space and its function can be enhanced, but they shouldn’t shove their design idea on you. The idea is to interpret your idea and improve on the details.
4. Communication is key in designing. There is always a reason a particular material is used in the building plan or why this style works and not, and a good designer must be able to explain the functionality of various design elements to their client.
5. Find a designer who can accomplish your design goals within your budget. A good interior designer can work on any budget, and give you the best outcome with what you have.
