8
Reasons To Engage A Professional Interior
Designer
 |
Let
us start by addressing and understanding
the designation of “Professional
Interior Designer” as
perhaps, there may be certain
misperceptions or many “wannabes”
out there.
The definition of “Professional”,
based on The New International
Webster’s dictionary explains
the word as “relating
to a profession showing sound
workman’s command engaging
in some activities”.
In many parts of Europe and
United States, interior |
designing is considered as a respectable
profession as being a lawyer, doctor
or real estate advisor. And yes, a
professional fee either based on an
hourly or project basis is expected
with the service.
In
Singapore however, many “commercialized
contractors” calling themselves
and doubling up as “pseudo-designers”
slash prices to make ends meet and
“spoil the market” so
to speak! It is therefore no wonder
that in Singapore, for the less-travelled
property owners to expect “free
designs”.
But how can property owners distinguish
a professional designer from the wannabes?
Personally, I believe compliments
and testimonials come from clients
about a good designer’s work
is far better than for the designer
to say ten good things about himself
or herself! Hence, credentials and
looking through a designer past portfolios
or projects will be the best way to
ascertain the true quality of a designer.
Here are also some reasons and benefits
why you should consider engaging a
Professional Interior Designer:
 |
It helps owners to avoid making
unwise decisions and choices
when it comes to purchasing
materials, furniture lights,
etc. |
|
|
|
You can be confident and proud
to show off your property or
home! Particularly if yours
is a shop or restaurant where
first impressions matter, you
can be assured that you will
not be a laughing stock to the
trained eye. |
|
|
|
A professional interior designer
sees and conceptualizes the
BIG picture, whereas owners
more often then not, merely
focus on individual issues /
materials / colours, etc. |
|
|
|
A professional interior designer
can help to advice on an appropriate
scheme to suit your lifestyle
and budget. |
|
|
|
Property owners doing their
own interior design will usually
end up with a “miss-match”
or somewhat “chaotic”
interior; especially by neglecting
consideration of colour, lighting,
furniture and soft furnishings
and other crucial details that
“completes” the
whole interior. A professional
interior designer will help
to ensure and co-ordinate all
the above for you! |
|
|
|
| Owners
may feel the pinch when
incurring cost on the
professional fee. However,
just imagine for a moment
how much more you will
have lost (in terms of
money and time) when you
make the wrong commitments
due to rash expenditure,
inexperience of choosing
fixtures and wrong measurements. |
|
|
|
|
|
For a fraction of the cost of
your property, is it not wise
to leverage on the knowledge
and experience of those who
know best and free yourself
to do the things that you do
best? |
|
|
|
Design Matters! A good design
truly improves the way you live
as seen from the many examples
around us (e.g., electricity,
lift, escalators, airplanes,
etc). |
