1. The ability to solve problems
Weather you are plagued by a lack of storage, a featureless room, or poor traffic flow,
you can find a decorator who is an expert in understanding color, scale, light, and space - concepts that can be hard for even the most talented amateur to get right. |
|
2. The expertise to avoid costly mistakes
" Most people decorate only once or twice in their lifetime," points out Karen Fisher of New York City's Design Previews, a decorating referral firm. "There are lots of things that are hard to know unless you've encountered them dozens of times before."
|
|
3. Access to a much wider range of resources
There's a world of fabrics and furnishing designs available just "to the trade". Not only do designers have access, but they will instantly know who specializes in what you're looking for - thus saving valuable time.
|
|
4. A rolodex worth millions
Any design is only as good as its execution and designers know the best workrooms, carpenters, and painters, so they have the connections - and the clout - to make sure the job will be top-knotch.
|
|
5. Guidance through the decision - making process
Perhaps the toughest aspect of decorating is selecting from the multitude of choices available. A decorator knows his or her sources well enough to edit down the options and offer seasoned advice to steer you through the process.
|
|
6. Better quality and longer lasting style
Look for a decorator who won't succumb to trends that you will tire of in no time but will create a timeless look you'll enjoy living with for years. Instead of relying on off-the-rack items, designers will also add custom details and paint finishes that make you house an individual masterpiece.
|
|
7. Help with setting priorities
A designer will give you advise on how best to spend your money now - and plan for future phases of the decorating process. If you're on a budget, (and who isn't) you need a decorator to help you allocate your dollars to get the biggest bang for your buck.
|
|
8. Arbitration with your significant other
" Sometimes my role is more marriage counselor than designer - but it's an expected part of the process", says Charles Gandy, FASID, of Gandy Peace in Atlanta. " If there is disagreement about an approach, I can be the third party without vested interests."
|
|
9. The power to advocate with trades people, showrooms, and manufacturers
Designers set a high standard, and because they work with these resources regularly, they have more leverage to get things repaired or replaced. Long-standing business relationships help resolve disputes in a professional manner.
|
10. The ability to get the job done
How often have you given up half way through a project or neglected those last few niggling details? It's a designers job to follow through on every aspect of the decorating process and make sure that all the elements have been completed to your satisfaction.
