Five Reasons to Hire An Interior Designer
If you're planning to renovate your London home or upgrade just one room, choosing the ideal interior designer for the job may feel overwhelming.
Many homeowners might assume that creating luxury interior design would come at a high additional expense. However, that is far from the truth. Interior designers can in fact take away the stress that comes with the design process, enabling you to enjoy the transformation of your home instead of feeling distressed when complications arise. Above all, they bring that magic touch.
At Rachel Battais Interiors we believe there are 5 good reasons for hiring an interior designer.
1 | HIRING AN INTERIOR DESIGNER CAN SAVE YOU COST
Interior designers, as professionals in the field, have the privilege of accessing trade prices from a large range of retailers. These discounts can be as generous as up to 50% off regular prices at high street stores, online shops, and specialized suppliers. When these discounts are applied to all items required for a room or a project, including furniture, paint, soft furnishings, and accessories, then the cumulative savings can be substantial. In many cases, these savings alone can offset a significant portion of the designer's fee.
In addition to accessing these trade discounts, your designer will also handle the purchasing process on your behalf. This not only saves you precious time but also money!

DETAILED BUDGET
After finalizing the design process, your designer will compile a comprehensive list of all necessary items for each space and verify their prices. This will enable you to stay in full control of your budget and ease some anxiety.
PROJECT PROGRAM
In addition to having a detailed budget, obtaining a thorough project program is also crucial. This project program should outline each stage of the project and its respective timelines, including the final handover date. By having a schedule to hand, you will have peace of mind regarding the progress of your project and any potential delays or adjustments. Maintaining open communication with your project manager throughout the entire construction process will also be essential.
3 | CREATE THE PERFECT USE OF SPACE
The top skill for the Best UK interior designers is to maximise the use of space. When starting a project the designer understand how the client use each space and we try to merge this with the space on site. When moving to the design development stage we carefully check all interior elements to ensure the space is carefully planned from the practical point of view as well as beautifully designed.
5 | INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME
By investing in your home and making it both functional and visually appealing, you will not only increase its value but also get to enjoy the benefits yourself. Many individuals find it challenging to justify the expense of hiring a designer, as it may appear excessive. However, when you consider the potential value that can be added to your home, the cost becomes more justified.
4 | CRAFTSMEN
One of the biggest advantages of hiring a designer is their knowledge in selecting the right craftsmen. Designers typically have access to contacts and competent craftsmen that they can recommend and oversee during the project. That way, you don’t have to worry about whether your new sideboards will arrive on time or if the tiling or flooring has been executed correctly!
They can commission custom elements not available to the public. Designers are truly only limited by their imaginations. From custom cabinetry, fabrics, wall coverings, furniture, case goods, and more, they'll know where to have a bespoke rug made that perfectly complements your space, or draw up the closet of your dreams.
