Why Hire An Interior Designer?

Hiring a Designer Saves Time and Money

Many people lack the time and confidence to take on a home renovation on their own. Renovating a kitchen or bathroom can be a daunting task and if you’re not happy with the outcome, you’ve made a costly mistake. Hiring a full-time professional who has the skill, outside resources and time to devote to each project, will ensure a project that is completed on time and on budget.

 

A Good Designer Can Flawlessly Execute YOUR Vision

My job as an interior designer is to translate what you’ve told me into a polished, pulled together space you’ll love. I stay on top of what is happening in the industry and pull together all design elements including lighting, window treatments (blinds and soft treatments), furniture, flooring, paint color, wall coverings and accessories.

 

Thinking Of Selling Your Home?

Did you know that a staged home can sell for up to 6% more and spends about half the time on the market than an unstaged home?*

What does staging mean? “The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money.” I like to think of it another way. Staging a house is like dressing it up to go on a date. Just like you would on a first date, your house has to put its best foot forward as people make an immediate impression upon pulling up to the house. The old saying, “you only get one chance to make a first impression” is as true for homes as it is for people.

I can help you with a few simple tricks to freshen up your home without spending lots of money. For example, painting your front door, putting up a new mailbox, door handle, front door mat, planting fresh flowers and adding mulch will give prospective buyers a good first impression. I have seen buyers pull up to a home and refuse to even go in because of how the house looked from the outside.

Using an unbiased professional to give you some quick tips can help your house stand out in this competitive marketplace.
