Why hiring an Interior Designer is a smart investment
Why hiring an Interior Designer is a smart investment

How do you feel about hiring someone to help you and your family design a home perfectly suited to your needs?
As humans, we have a natural desire to create a sense of safety, comfort and belonging for our families and ourselves. I believe we can underestimate how important the family home is for our wellbeing. We’re all great at focusing on our health by eating well, getting enough exercise and even improving mindfulness (there’s even been a rise in the use of meditation apps, like Headspace!) However, almost all of our health and wellbeing begins in our home and we can easily neglect this area of our lives.
Depending on how many people are in your family, you can easily influence the wellbeing and sense of belonging of multiple people by considering the design, layout and appearance of your home. Here are a few ideas -
The moment you open your eyes in the morning, you take in the view of your bedroom. How its designed and its state can really set the pace and mood for your day. Is there too much light in the morning, or not enough? Do you keep walking into a sideboard that’s too close to the bed? Does the bathroom light wake up your snoozing partner?
So often I see wardrobes that are small and awkwardly shaped. The way your closet is laid out will help you to see all your items at once - you’ll find you dress better and not feel the urge to buy more clothes!
If you added a wall and a door to a misused nook, you could create a small office. Think of all the extra work you could achieve with some peace and quiet.
Maybe your family room is tiny and you need more space to connect - you might move the kitchen counter further away and demolish that random wall, and voila! You can fit a larger lounge, and your family can spend evenings together in the same space.
Regardless of the size of your investment, bringing an interior designer into your life is an extremely practical decision.
And we welcome anyone who is willing to take their home experience to the next level and deepen their connection to their family.
Consider this -
You hire a personal trainer to help your fitness.
You hire an accountant to organise your tax and to return as much money as possible to you.
You hire a travel agent to find the best holiday deals possible, saving you money and time searching.
You use a mechanic to fix your vehicle when it’s not working - you trust them.
You outsource help for your exercise, finances, holidays and car… regardless of how much, where and what make. So why should the quality and treatment of your home be any different?
When people ask about my work, I find myself explaining how involved my role is. Interior Designers do far more than change the cushions around on your lounge. We’re in the business of redesigning lifestyles.
We have the foresight and ability to drastically change your family’s experience. It can come down to the layout of your room and furniture placement, sunlight exposure or the kitchen joinery. And we have all the tools and tricks of the trade to ensure it’s saving you money, time and effort - and we love doing it.
You are worthy of hiring an interior designer. For the simple reason that you have a home that you care about and want to improve the quality of your family’s life. So change the story you’re telling yourself about what you deserve. You’re allowed to have help at home and you’re allowed to invest in yourself and your family.
