Why Hire An Interior Designer? By Sandy Kozar That is a great question, and I am glad you asked! To put it simply, hiring a professional interior designer allows clients peace of mind by bringing their aesthetics and needs together in a way that is convenient, curated, and fun. There are many misconceptions about what an interior designer does. Many assume that the role of a designer is just to make a room pretty, and while that is a part of it, working with an interior designer has many additional benefits.
“They made the process of furnishing several rooms painless. Everything came together and was installed right on time, and I absolutely love coming home. So thankful for their hard work!” - Laura, Knoxville
Experienced and Trained - With a combined 25 years of experience and degrees in interior design, as well as being Decorating Den Certified Designers, we have the experience and training to make rooms functional and aesthetically pleasing. Oftentimes we do this by creating a different layout, changing the traffic flow, and/or using the proper amount and scale of furniture. We also coordinate fabrics, furniture, flooring, window treatments, artwork, lighting,
wallpaper, and wall color by using the elements and principles of design. Our aim is to create visual interest, along with adding comfort and style. Is there enough variety and texture? Does the space require more lighting? Will additional seating be needed? Should the window treatments provide sun protection or privacy? Would the room need to be easily cleanable because of children and pets? These are some of the many questions we ask when pulling together a design.
“I have been working with Sandy and Rachael since September of 2019, and they have done a wonderful job. They truly put the customer's needs first, and I can trust that every detail is a well-thought-out process, things that the non-decorator in me would have never thought of. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a decorator.”
Uniquely Curated - We also make sure that every design matches the lifestyle preferences and functional needs of each client. In-depth interviews during our complimentary consultation with the homeowner allows us to create and implement a unique personalized design plan. We strive to understand the overall impression or mood they would like their home to evoke, the characteristics the specific room should have, and their precise needs. We then sculpt their ideas into their customized design. From the thousands of design alternatives available to us, we narrow the scope to two or three perfectly curated design options for their home, making sure that it fits all of their requirements and desires. Since all of the choices we present will be perfect for the finished room, clients can easily select their favorites. We eliminate the stress and wasted time of considering solutions that will not work or endless shopping at retail locations trying to bring it all together.
Set Your Investment - Oftentimes when homeowners are furnishing their home by themselves, it is done piece by piece over long periods of time. After it is all said and done, they might be surprised at just how much they have spent on their room. When we work with clients, we design within an investment range. Once this range is set, it allows us to determine which of our vendors (from good, better, best, and luxury lines) is best suited for the design project. We can work room by room, entire homes, or bits at a time, but the project will be within the agreed-upon investment range. Not sure what things cost at the moment? That’s okay, during our complimentary consultations, we walk through what items typically cost and work with our clients to find a comfortable expenditure range. When clients give us an investment amount, we are respectful of that.
