Why choosing the right designer matters
Choosing an interior designer is a decision that lasts for years. The professional’s expertise determines whether you get a comfortable, beautiful and functional space or disappointment with endless revisions.
Evaluation criteria
1. Portfolio and style
- Does the designer’s style match your preferences
- Is there a variety of projects (residential, commercial)
- Quality of visualizations and level of detail
2. Work process
- How the initial consultation goes
- Is there a contract and work stages
- How revisions and corrections are handled
3. Budget and timeline
- Pricing transparency
- Realistic completion timelines
- Whether author supervision is included
Questions to ask
- How many projects have you completed in the last year?
- Can I see reviews from your clients?
- How do you handle changes during the process?
- Do you provide drawings for builders?
Red flags
- No contract or it’s too general
- Won’t show portfolio or all projects look similar
- Unreasonable timelines without explanation
- Don’t listen to your wishes at the first meeting
