  • Why should I hire a designer?

    Put simply, it will save you time, money and will help assure you get the look you want.
    One of the ways I save you time is by being very efficient at finding the right products to create the right look for your space. I work with design and decor materials all the time, I know where to look, what works and what doesn’t. It can be overwhelming for people to choose all the products and finishes they need for their space and to make sure that everything coordinates and looks good together. And to make sure it is actually the look that they want! This is my job, let me help you!

    Hiring a designer can also help save you from making costly mistakes. It is easy to miss details when your working on a space, such as “We bought it, but it doesn’t actually fit through the front door. Now what?” Or “I had to have dark wood flooring and now I hate it because I didn’t realize I’d have to clean it 3x a day because it shows everything!” These are just a couple of examples that I have indeed encountered. The bottom line is I am trained to see potential problems when it comes to design and decorating in your home. I will do my best to recognize any pitfalls before they occur.

    Finally I will help assure that you stay true to the look and design that you want to achieve. It is easy to veer off track and not even realize it. One ill chosen piece of furniture decided on a whim could de-rail a design plan. As a professional designer I can often re-work a plan if need be to accommodate changes, but I also try and keep us on the chosen design path. Let me help you get the look and feel you actually want from your space, that is one of my favourite parts of what I do!
