Phoenix Interior Design

A common myth about hiring Interior Designers is that Interior Designers are an unnecessary expense when planning your home design project.  Perhaps this myth is perpetuated because consumers are concerned that the finished room may not be to their liking, that they might lose control of the project, or that the project will go beyond their budget.  In actuality, it’s quite the opposite. 

Experienced, certified designers have invaluable experience and expertise to ensure you spend your money wisely and avoid costly pitfalls and mistakes.  They work with all budgets, big or small and with different types of fee structures that vary widely based on the nature and size of the project, geographical location, and the designer. The majority of designers use one or more of the following fee structures:

• Fixed fee (or flat fee) – a specified sum to cover the cost of the project, exclusive of reimbursement for goods and expenses.

• Hourly fee – calculated based on the actual time spent on the project.

• Percentage fee – computed as a percentage of the total cost of goods and services provided.

• Cost plus – the designer purchases the materials and furnishings, and then sells these to the client at the designer’s cost plus a specified (and previously agreed upon) percentage.

With a professional Interior Designer you have access to the latest and greatest resources and specialty products associated with the trade that are not available in retail stores.  Professional Interior Designers have access to design centers, and a Designer’s client can obtain extraordinary and exclusive products not available to the public.

Interior Designers are trained professionals who are able to handle all stages of the design process, from conception to completion and anywhere in between.  Whether one room, or your entire home, your Designer can transform your vision into an environment that truly expresses your own personal style.

Interior Designers are trained in color, scale, proportion and balance, all of which are essential components for achieving a beautiful and functional interior space.  They also provide information, insight and solutions regarding choices and features that are best suited to your needs.  Professional Designers work side by side with you and guide you through the maze of endless possibilities for furniture, fabric, flooring and much more.

So go ahead… tear out those magazine pictures, gather those ideas you have stored away in a shoebox, and then pick up the phone and call your local Interior Designer.  He or she will be able to put the pieces of the puzzle together.   The two of you will work toward creating the dream home you’ve always desired, and a home you’ll want to show off to family and friends.
