As homeowners start to plan their living spaces, they may dive into detailed decisions, browse magazines and websites, and begin shopping for materials and furniture. Indeed, there’s a certain type of homeowners, who have plenty of time to spare, and who strive to do everything by themselves. However, despite the excitement, lack of experience, knowledge and inspiration can sometimes result in disappointing DIY outcomes.
Is it worth hiring an interior design studio?
Certainly, both DIY and professional help have their advantages and disadvantages. Managing the renovation and design process on your own can cut costs, but working with a professional designer and contractor helps avoid mistakes and unforeseen issues while, of course, saving time. More and more people are opting for a balanced, pragmatic solution—hiring a professional designer to handle the entire process from start to finish (turn-key solution).
Interior designers know that design is not just about aesthetics. A good interior is the perfect balance of functionality and beauty.
Before starting a project, we take the time to understand our clients’ lifestyles and daily routines. When working on a project, we carefully consider the comfort and ergonomics in every detail: from proper kitchen equipment placement to hidden storage solutions and suitable lighting, etc.
Then, the designers are tasked with combining clients’ ideas and preferences in a cohesive way, creating a harmonious space that makes daily living more comfortable. Often, couples may love individual pieces of furniture, decor, or finishes without realizing that combining them could result in an overwhelming or cluttered design. A designer’s role is to find the right balance, the “golden middle way”, enhancing the space while maintaining comfort and functionality. And for each person, the criteria for those differ.
While cutting costs by hiring designers for a project may seem like an unnecessary expense, it can actually save money in the long run. An experienced designer helps prevent costly mistakes and even increase the property’s value for possible future resale.
When working on a project design, we do not just create visual concepts; we offer real furniture, materials, and equipment that fit within the project’s budget.
We work with detailed drawings and plans, streamlining the construction and renovation process and minimizing unforeseen costs and effort. Often, the cost of redesigning or correcting mistakes after starting without a design far exceeds the price of a professional design project.
Having a design project in place allows for better selection and combination of modern materials. Often, without a designer to help, clients may choose materials that don’t align with the space (neither their texture, nor purpose), leading to costly dismantling and renovations later.
A design project is the cornerstone of budgeting for residential renovations (be it an apartment, townhouse, or house). It ensures that no unnecessary expenses are factored in while also eliminating the risk of insufficient funds. A design project allows for precise planning and cost optimization when it comes to finishing materials and furniture. LISSERO Interior Studio provides clients with a FULL and detailed estimate of renovation costs, with no hidden or additional charges. The final cost of the renovation will not come as a surprise to the Client—you’ll know it upfront at the Contract approval stage.
Each project undertaken by the LISSERO interior studio is supervised by a dedicated manager who oversees all stages of interaction with the Client. The manager consolidates and communicates all design and renovation progress details via online-chat with the Client. Even from miles away, you’ll have a clear view of the process and stay updated on the renovation’s progress.
We strive to build long-term, trusting relationships with our clients, always offering solutions to any challenges that may arise. LISSERO Interior Studio is a young company, but our approach ensures high-quality services at reasonable prices.
