Let's Talk Money: Design Services Are Not Free Pt. 2
In part 1, we discussed the value of design services and will take a moment to continue the conversation. In the age of digital media where we’re bombarded with images, it may be lost on those seeking design services that there is a sizable investment for the service. Here’s why:
Interior design is a luxury service.
Most people decorate their homes themselves. Using inspiration from magazines, pinterest or the showroom of their favorite home decor store, they piece together items they like in the hopes of creating a finished look they’ll love.
A designer does more than piece items together. We consider functionality, sustainability, feasibility, your personality and more. There are a myriad of considerations we take into account when curating a space…the vast majority of which aren’t considered by the average consumer. The skill, training and knowledge of a designer to create the space you’ve dreamed of doesn’t come cheap. The best luxury services are customized not standardized and interior design is tailored with the client in mind.
Never worked with a designer and want to get an idea of the cost of your dream project? Schedule a consultation with a design pro who can help manage your expectations, create a budget and understand the financial investment it will take to get from concept to completion.
