Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions.
- What does an interior designer do? +
- Interior designers turn visions into reality. We work from the inside out, taking into consideration the architectural style, geographical location, lifestyle and preference of our clients, as well as any other parameters, to which we then add our experience and expertise in combining shapes, colours, materials, finishes, furniture, lighting, soft furnishing and décor elements to a successful scheme.
- Why should I hire an interior designer? +
- Interior designers have a keen eye for detail and are also experienced trouble shooters. Every project faces some type of challenge — delays in production, items lost in transport, items damaged in transport. Designers usually have far more resources than you would in terms of vendors, suppliers, artisans and trade, meaning a beautiful, cohesive space where every item is intentional, and a smooth headache-free process for you.
- Can an interior designer buy more than I can? +
- Interior designers have access to trade-only resources that do not sell to the public. Some may sell through high-end retailers, which however may not be available in your area. Designers also work directly with manufacturers, who can create customised and bespoke pieces for our client projects.
- When should I hire an interior designer? +
- The earlier the better. It is never too early to speak to an interior designer. The earlier you start, the better we can help you avoid mistakes when planning your design project as it relates to the selection of finishes, types of windows, lighting, etc. For example, we plan the exact location of electrical outlets and sockets, depending on the furniture layout of your space.
- How do I choose the right designer for me? +
- The collaboration between you and your interior designer is very personal. First consider whether you like the designer as a person and what they stand for. Then take into account their experience and expertise, and what others say about working with them. Lastly, consider their style — some designers specialise in one style, others work with many.
