Why Hiring an Interior Designer Is the Smartest Investment You Can Make
Finding your next home is often a stressful process and that’s where we come in. Taking the stress and strains out of the home search process. But for many, it doesn’t end there. Putting your own stamp on the property you buy can have its own stresses and strains. That’s why we partner up with companies like Moxham Basham. In this article we hear from Alex (Moxham) and Laura (Basham) about the reasons why using an interior designer is a no-brainer for anyone looking to improve their home.
The Overwhelm of DIY Design
Attempting to design your home alone often means juggling Pinterest boards, agonizing over paint swatches, and scrolling through endless websites - only to end up more confused than inspired. True design isn’t just about choosing beautiful things; it’s about creating a space that works seamlessly with your lifestyle, feels cohesive, and tells your story. This is where an interior designer becomes invaluable. Beyond aesthetics, we streamline the process, manage timelines, and coordinate with contractors, suppliers, and installers - removing the stress so you can enjoy the journey.
Expertise That Saves You Time (and Money)
Interior designers bring professional training and years of experience to every project. We understand scale, proportion, and flow in ways that Pinterest or Instagram simply can’t teach. More importantly, we help you avoid costly mistakes - like ordering a sofa that won’t fit through the door or choosing a paint colour that looks entirely different in natural light. With a designer, every decision is intentional, saving you both time and money while ensuring your home feels effortlessly right.
A Vision Beyond the Obvious
Designers see possibilities you might never imagine. We can turn awkward corners into cosy reading nooks or elevate a bland living room into a layered, luxurious retreat. Our creative vision ensures your home feels curated and unique. Whether it’s a playful, colourful bathroom, a serene bedroom sanctuary, or a moody TV room, we balance practicality with aesthetics - designing spaces that support the way you live and the way you want to feel.
Adding Value to Your Home
Professional design doesn’t just enhance daily life - it increases property value. Homes with thoughtful layouts, cohesive finishes, and timeless appeal stand out in the market, sell faster, and command higher prices. Hiring a designer is not just an investment in your lifestyle, but in your home’s future.
Exclusive Access, Like a Property Consultant
Think of hiring an interior designer like working with a property consultant who finds homes off market. Just as consultants unlock opportunities you wouldn’t discover on your own, designers have access to suppliers, artisans, and products not readily available to the public. This means your home can be furnished with bespoke pieces, rare finishes, and curated details that set it apart - adding layers of exclusivity and refinement.
The Emotional Impact
Perhaps the most overlooked benefit: how your home makes you feel. Designers curate textures, colours, and art that evoke emotion and narrative. Walking into a space that feels “just right” brings confidence, joy, and a profound sense of belonging.
