When is the best time to hire yourself an interior designer?

Hiring an interior designer can be beneficial at various stages of a project or when certain circumstances arise. At Sarsh we regularly find our clients asking us this question: ‘at which point should we instruct your help?’ so we have put together a few scenarios outlining when it might be the best time to hire an interior designer:

Starting a New Project: If you’re embarking on a new construction or renovation project, involving an interior designer from the beginning can help ensure that the overall design and layout are cohesive and well-planned.

Lack of Time or Expertise: If you don’t have the time, knowledge, or expertise to handle the design process yourself, hiring an interior designer is a smart move. We can take care of all the details and decisions removing worry and stress.

Renovating: When you’re planning significant changes to your space, an interior designer can help you make the most of the available space and ensure that the new design complements the existing architecture.

Budget Constraints: Contrary to what some may think, hiring an interior designer can actually help you stick to your budget. We have access to a wide range of resources and can help you make informed decisions to get the most value for your money.

Conflicting Styles and Preferences: If you and your partner or family members have different design preferences, an interior designer can act as a mediator and help create a space that everyone will love.

Sourcing Specialised Materials or Furniture: If you’re looking for unique or hard-to-find items, an interior designer can tap into their network of suppliers and artisans to source high-quality materials and furnishings.

Updating Outdated Spaces: If your space feels outdated or no longer meets your needs, an interior designer can bring fresh, modern ideas to rejuvenate the space.

Preparing a Property for Sale or Rental: If you’re looking to sell or rent out your property, an interior designer can help stage the space to maximize its appeal and value.

Addressing Functional Issues: If your space lacks functionality or has layout challenges, an interior designer can come up with creative solutions to improve the flow and functionality of the space.

Completing a Partially Finished Project: If you’ve started a project but feel stuck or overwhelmed, bringing in an interior designer can help you move forward and bring your vision to life.

Remember, the best time to hire an interior designer ultimately depends on your specific needs and circumstances. It’s a good idea to start the process early to allow ample time for planning and execution.
