What can a designer do for you?

Any interior or garden overhaul can bring its fair share of pain and downright annoying stuff, especially if you have little experience in projects of this kind. The beauty of using a designer is that all that becomes the designer’s job. That leaves you free to make the most of the enjoyable parts of creating a new garden or home.

If you are interested in interiors you probably already have an idea of style and colour. You may have even developed an idea of what you want but have been unable to bring it all together in a scheme. A designer who knows her stuff knows the questions to ask to find out what’s important to you and how to bring your dream to life.

The beauty of using a designer is that all the potential pains of the process become the designer’s responsibility, leaving you free to make the most of the enjoyable parts of creating a new garden or home.

Best of all, the designer comes with a little black book full of trade accounts, insider contacts and relationships with retailers. You are paying for the designer’s time and skill, but you get back so much in the discounts she can gain for you.
