Three Ways Designers Save You Time & Money

Three Ways Designers Save You Time & Money

Guest blog post submitted by the Indiana Design Center.

Creating a home that truly reflects your personality and lifestyle is an exciting process. It can also be daunting with the myriad of details, budgets and choices that go into the crafting of each space. Whether you are remodeling an entire home or revamping a room, hiring a professional interior designer will offer you peace of mind, knowing that you won’t make costly decorating mistakes. A designer’s guidance is based on years of experience, expertise, creativity and access to resources that make the process easier.

Here are three ways that designers can save you time and money:

1) Avoid Costly Mistakes

Every dollar and detail counts when you are updating your home, and the wrong decision can be costly. Seemingly simple choices, like a shade of gray paint, may skew green, yellow or purple once in the room and not be what you envisioned. Paying for new paint and the labor to re-do it can be thousands of dollars in a large space.

A design pro can help you pick the paint color that will
account for the variables in your space that affect color.

2) Find the Right Products Quickly

Designers work on several design and remodeling projects throughout the year and can quickly navigate showrooms and online resources to help you narrow down to the right choices. What could take several trips around town and hours of personal online research to find, a designer professional can narrow down in much less time and make a more efficient process for you.

Let a designer narrow down design options for you from trusted sources to move decisions along quickly and make the best use of your time and money.

3) Tap Into a Network of Professionals  

Over the years, designers build a team of professionals they trust to work on various aspects of projects like painting, plumbing, refinishing and more. It can be difficult to find a tradesperson on your own that is trustworthy, reasonably-priced and does good work. Take advantage of a designer’s network and build a strong team for your project from the start.
