The Benefits of Designers

Savvy Consumers and ROI’s

There is a mystery to a well- designed interior that the average property owner does not fully understand, but never the less appreciates. While hiring a design professional requires an investment, savvy consumers understand that their ROI (return on investment) is much higher when working with an interior designer.

Research has shown that a well-designed kitchen or bath will increase the value of a home by the amount of the construction. So if you spend $60,000 for your new kitchen, expect to recoup that in the event that you sell in the future.

A professional will know how to respect and make the most of your budget. They keep current on all the latest and greatest offerings in the industry by attending industry events and researching top trade publications. In addition to producing high quality designs, they also function as your liaison during planning and construction, interfacing with contractors, suppliers, artisans and fabricators. Professionals produce highly detailed plans and materials specifications from which you can attain proposals to complete your job, so there isn’t any guesswork.
The average cost for a design professional is about 10 % of the overall project. So, whether you are preparing to do $50,000 in improvements or $500,000, the question is not can you afford to hire a professional, it is can you afford not to?
