THE MARK OF A PROFESSIONAL SINCE 1974 It is more important than ever for clients, policy-makers and the general public to know that interior designers distinguish themselves by demonstrating a specific set of competencies, supported by supervised work experience and a college degree, to earn the NCIDQ Certification – the standard for professional interior designers. |
Why hire a professional Interior Designer: A professional interior designer focuses on the function of the home as a whole. Their knowledge and expertise in understanding "the principles of design" and "the elements of design" play out in delivering the harmonious environment you are desiring for your home.
What an interior designer does: A designer envisions, plans and outfits spaces in a way that makes them both beautiful and functional. He or she balances aesthetic considerations with structural planning to reflect the clients' lifestyle, set the desired mood, complement the home's architectural features, and ensure that less glamorous details (like electrical outlets and air vents) fit into the scheme. An interior designer also cultivates relationships with trusted artisans, vendors and other design and construction professionals who execute the design. When to hire one: You may have a clear vision for your home, but an interior designer can help you bring it to life while making sure it satisfies nitty-gritty detail considerations such as space planning and lighting requirements. A trained eye and a creative mind-set allow for devising solutions that you might never have imagined, and attention to the tiniest details will transform your space into a haven that looks polished and pulled together. |
