Why is it that hiring an interior designer feels like something we could never do? Because it can feel like an unnecessary luxury. Trust us we get it and while it may feel that way we want to explain why hiring an interior designer is actually extremely beneficial and completely necessary.

Check out our top 5 reasons to hire an interior designer!

1. Hiring a designer saves you money

   Yup you heard that right! Hiring an interior designer will ultimately save you money. Now you may ask how is this possible with the fee on top of all the other purchases? Because when you work with a designer you won’t have any regrettable purchases. Gone are the days of purchasing a rug only to realize the scale is off, or a couch that doesn’t really work with the needs of your family, or chairs that are too low for your table only to repurchase 6 months down the road. EIana Cohen Interiors will steer you in the right direction from day one so everything will flow, be cohesive, and functional.
   

2. Hiring a designer saves you time

From working, to parenting, to ummm homeschooling we are busier now more than ever. Designing a new home from scratch or updating an existing place takes a lot of time and planning.

We outsource so many things in our lives from meal planning kits, to food delivery services, to house cleaners just so we can better allocate our time to the things that matter most. If you are willing to outsource for these things why not invest in the place spend time in the most, your home. When you hire a designer they take on the task of carefully planning and purchasing for your space so you don’t have to.

As the client you can sit back and relax knowing your home is in great hands.

3. Hiring a designer gives you the home of your dreams

This may seem obvious but its still completely true. Hiring an interior designer will give you the space of your dreams.

Even if you aren’t able to completely start from scratch and want to incorporate some of your existing pieces, having a designers eye on the project will give everything new life. You will be able to spend time in your home and truly enjoy it because not only will it be beautiful but it will be functional.

4. Hiring a designer gives you access to designer only resources

One major benefit of hiring a designer is gaining access to all their resources. We’re talking tradespeople (painters, contractors, wallpaper installers) and access to furniture not available at retail stores. This means you will have a home that is unique and doesn’t look like every other house on the block.

5. Hiring a designer gives you a functional space to make living easier

While this might not be the sexiest of reasons we believe it is one of the most important. An interior designers biggest strengths is what we at Elana Cohen Interiors call the trifecta.

• Space planning

• Scale

• Function

If you ever walk into a space and something feels off its is probably because one of (if not all three) of these elements are missing. When everything in a room is laid out correctly based on the needs of the household, the scale and proportions are in line with the size of the room, and everything has a purpose and serves a function, it just feels right. This is what separates a basic room from a well designed room.
