When should we turn to an interior designer?
The answer to this question is: the sooner the better. Why?
1. Many of you have never used the services of an interior designer and are not well acquainted with the stages and deadlines for interior design. Note that this is a time-consuming process. The service includes several stages: variant drawings, design, visualization, coordination with the client, selection of suitable elements, etc. Appropriate time is required for each of the stages. By agreeing with the client, I mean that designers usually offer options and sometimes clients take longer to decide which option to go with. How long the design will last is difficult to determine. This depends on many factors. The main factor is the type and size of the project. In second place are the designer and the customers. It is important for customers to be clear about what they want in order to set the right requirements and parameters.
2. Contacting a designer at an earlier stage will ease your mind-wandering of where to start. He will guide you through the stages and sequence in time and ask you the right questions in the right order. This will save you time.
When to contact an interior designer?
Example options:
1. The project exists only as an architectural plan. This is the best option. The designer will be able to prepare a plan and drawings for you, according to which the builder-investor will carry out the wiring and place the plumbing outlets in the right places. You will save a lot of money if this is done at the construction stage, rather than having to redo everything afterwards.
2. The interior space is for major repairs. The relationship with an interior designer should be made even before cutting. It’s a good idea to have a sample design before you chip in, so you don’t end up needlessly removing a wall and leaving the excess.
3. The interior space is for finishing repair works. Do not start finishing screeds, bathrooms and other areas and elements without a project. It will most likely need some tweaking in the installations (even if it’s just the locations of the contacts and switches).
Advice: Use the services of an interior designer at least to draw the layout plans and the installations. It is also possible to handle the repair and furnishing yourself. Many designers also offer only this part of the service.
