Hi, everyone. My name is Brittani and I am a designer. I want to tell you why you should hire an interior designer. Interior designers are creative, professionally trained with education, and can get your home, business, or personal space into something you can only dream. Interior designers can get your space designed within your budget range and can eliminate costly mistakes that you might make yourself. This is one reason why hiring an interior designer is a great idea. They can also save you time and money.
Interior designers might sound expensive and you might think, why hire someone when I can do it myself? The truth of it, is that designers are skilled and trained with knowledge. Designers create floor plans to solve issues for furniture, lighting, electrical plug-ins, and measurements, etc. This insures everything is placed correctly and allows a functional space. There are certain measurements that designers use when placing furniture, this is something most people do not know, unless you have studied interior design. Have you ever walked into a space and you didn't have much walking space? More than likely this place did not have a designer. These are some reasons why you should hire an interior designer. There is so much more to design than the eyes can see.
Interior designers use function, patterns, colors, and textures that all balance each other out. Using design principles and elements creates this balanced atmosphere.
There is a lot more to designing a space than just placing furniture into a room and calling it a done deal. There's a focus point to consider when designers create a furniture arrangement. When someone walks into your home, business, or personal space you want them to be wowed at how awesome your space looks. An interior designer can make that happen for you. Interior Designers create concepts to make your space unique and they also design your space to represent who you are with personality and style traits.

Interior designers can also create a mood or set to your space. Maybe you like a warm and cozy feeling? Interior designers are taught that certain colors will make your home appear warm and cozy. Being a designer myself, I can tell you that orange and reds will give you a warm feeling. If you like your space to feel relaxed or calm, designers know that colors such as blues and greens can give you a feeling of relaxation and coolness.
To give an example, here is a list of colors that create different moods.
Turquoise- symbolizes renewal and gives a friendly atmosphere. It also serves as a calm and relaxing mood.
Orange- creates an energetic atmosphere. It serves as a warm and stimulating feeling.
White- creates a room that feels airy and light. It also helps to make a space feel open and clean.
Yellow- is another warm feeling. It creates a sunshine atmosphere.
Dark brown- creates a sense of warmth. It also represents an earthy tone with a safe feeling.
Grey- is a neutral color. It creates a sense of elegancy and calmness. Adding complimentary colors will enhance the room and not make it seem boring.
Sea green- creates a sense that is easy on the eyes. It creates a cool and calming effect. It also serves as a refresh or spa atmosphere.
Colors are just one part of the design process. There are so many more elements to create within a space. These are some reason why you should hire an interior designer. As you can see hiring a designer will create many benefits to your space. Some benefits are getting it right the first time around and also giving you the atmosphere and mood that you are trying to achieve. Hiring a designer can save you time because you will not have to do anything, but give the designer your ideas and thoughts about what you would like to see in the space.
Designers create floor plans, sketches, and presentation boards to create a design plan for the future space. Designers come up with solutions for the interior space's problems. They use communication, visual interest, and human factors.

Hiring a designer will save you money in the long run because you don’t have to run all the errands, and you won’t have to worry about bringing things back to the store; after you get back to the space and realize that it doesn’t match, it’s too big, or even too small. A designer will make sure everything fits to its correct scale and the room will look proportioned with all of the furniture, materials, elements, and accessories.
Your room will be perfectly balanced with colors, patterns, textures, furniture, and accessories.
All in all, this concludes why you should hire an interior designer.
