8 reasons to contact an Interior Designer?
Contact them early when planning your renovation, this is why.
Early on you identify the lifestyle, functional and aesthetic aims of your build. Form a good relationship, the more you get to know each other the more understanding the designer will have of your unique needs.
2. Professional planning of your spaces and how you intend to use your space will ensure you are happy and comfortable in your new space
3. Interior Designer’s have up to date knowledge on innovative and on-trend materials, finishes, understanding of your site and including how to use natural light and structural knowledge.
4. A professional understanding of how to interpret your design inspiration and create a personalised design that tells your story, making your home your own. You will have a very clear vision of the purpose, mood and aesthetic of your space.
5. You get an accurate quote for the construction as the builder can quote off your actual selections rather than allowances for prime cost items such as tiles at $30 per m. From a project management point of view this is one of the greatest advantages of having a professional develop the selections and documentation for the project. It avoids major blow out and contract variations.

8. You will get a more refined and functional design working with a team of professionals on your project.
Is your home is not functioning the way it should for you and your family? Your starting point is to contact your interior designer to discuss your options.
