Is hiring an Interior Designer worth the expense?Having a knowledgeable professional to help you navigate the design process will often save you money in the long run. It will also save you tons of time and stress. If you find that you are particularly indecisive, don't have much time on your hands or are looking to undertake a large project, an Interior Designer can be well worth the added cost. Builders tell us that it makes their process much smoother as well, which translates into savings for you! A client, Maya, described it perfectly: “Eight years ago when we purchased our house, we thought “we’ll fix it up later.” Then later, we realized - all those tweaks are kind of expensive! It’s terrifying to spend that kind of money and not have someone helping you through the process to ensure that will it actually look nice in the end.” See what other clients say about 615interiors » Learn more about our process & rates here » Book a free Discovery Call with Gwen here »

What does an Interior Designer do?This question is quite subjective and there are many answers depending on who you ask. In summary, it depends on the Designer (or firm). So it's important to ask the Designer what their services include and do not include. Interior Decorating Some Interior Designers choose to focus only on the aesthetics of an existing space. Services may include selection of paint, furniture, wall art, light fixtures, window treatments and accessories. They may also help you choose higher-ticket items such as flooring, tile and countertops. These services may be referred to as interior decorating. Interior Design In addition to the aesthetic services listed above, some Designers may also provide more specialized offerings such as floor plans (CAD), cabinetry planning, and 3D renderings in their list of services. Since these services often involve architectural changes/elements and thus construction work, they are considered to be interior design. Contractor/Construction Management It is usually necessary for an Interior Designer to communicate with their clients' builder/contractor at certain times during a project. But project management to oversee the construction process and coordinate the tasks may or may not be in the Designer's wheelhouse. So it's important to ask the Designer whether or not their services include construction project management. At 615interiors, we do both interior decorating and interior design. We do not provide construction management, or management of contractors such as painters and carpenters. We have a basic knowledge of construction - it's needed for floor planning. But we are not builders, architects or engineers. We advise our clients to secure a good General Contractor to oversee the renovation process. A new build or renovation has MANY moving parts and requires a small army of subcontractors and skillsets. Those skills include demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, window/door installation, tile/floor installation, cabinet building, finishing work, just to name a few. To manage all these moving parts, a General Contractor may charge 15-20% of the total project cost. They will source, schedule, manage and pay all the subcontractors. It's tempting to try and be your own general contractor to save money. And if you have construction experience and a lot of time on your hands, you may be able to do it successfully. But keep in mind, it's a full-time job. We've seen clients become overwhelmed and burned out trying to manage it all themselves, and the likelihood of errors and shoddy work is high. Please proceed with caution, as these problems can cost a lot more money to fix down the road. We can recommend reputable builders and contractors to contact for your project. Just ask!

What does it cost to refurnish a room? (New furniture & decor)Like everything, the answer depends on the brands and quality of furnishings you want. We are happy to work within most budgets. For a mid-to-upper range budget, generally you can expect to pay $10,000-$20,000 to replace all furniture, rugs, wall art, and window treatments within a room. For a lower-range budget, you can expect to pay $4,000-$8,000. If you wish to work an existing piece into the design, we're happy to do that as well. Design Planning Saves Money in the Long Run, and Stress! Having a knowledgeable professional to help you navigate the design process will save you tons of time and stress, and will often save money in the long run. If you find that you are particularly indecisive, don't have much time on your hands or are looking to undertake a large project, an Interior Designer can be well worth the added cost. Builders tell us that it makes their process much smoother as well, which translates into savings for you! Learn more about our process & rates here » Book a free Discovery Call with Gwen here »

Can’t I just ask my contractor/builder to make interior design recommendations?Contractors have a valued skillset - we need their expertise! However, builders usually want to focus on what they do best - BUILDING. Their focus is getting paid for the labor they provide, and many of them don't provide design services. If they do agree to select materials for your job, their selections may not necessarily work well for your space, taste, and lifestyle. Contractors may not take into consideration how paint, finishes and fabrics will work together. (And they certainly don't care how your furniture will fit.) You invest a lot in hiring a professional contractor. Protect your investment and ensure the outcome you want! Hire a professional designer beforehand to design and space-plan your room. Then you can be 100% confident in every decision and enjoy a smoother more efficient build-out process. Learn more about our process & rates here » Book a free Discovery Call with Gwen here »

What are the floor plans that you provide?Our floor plans are to-scale based on the measurements of your actual space. They contain dimensions for everything in the room and are intended to help you visualize our design plan, help us determine placement of furniture, fixtures, finishes, decor, and in some cases the movement of interior walls and windows. Our floor plans will assist you in communicating your wishes to contractor(s). However, our floor plans are not architectural-grade construction blueprints. Blueprints contain much more detail than our floor plans provide. If your project involves professional renovation, please be aware that your contractor may require blueprints by an architect.

What are the 3D renderings that you provide?Our floor plans and 3D renderings are to-scale and based on the layout of your actual space.

We can make recommendations. See 3D rendering examples in our Portfolio here » Learn more about our process & rates here » Book a free Discovery Call with Gwen here » 3D Rendering

Do I have to buy all new furniture for a redecoration project?Not if you don't want to! For the best result, we will always suggest replacing most of the furnishings in a space. However, if you've already invested in beautiful piece that you love, we'll work it into the design plan so that everything in the space harmonizes. Rest assured, you won't have to give up anything that you love or that's working for you. And if all your space needs is a "refresh," we'll tell you, and make recommendations.
