5 Misconceptions About Hiring An Interior Designer

Hi there! Welcome to Aspire Design Group blog! I’m Maria, a design project manager based in Oakville. Aspire Design Group is a full service interior design firm, experienced in taking projects from initial design concept to completion for the busy professional in need of a custom renovation or interior design in their home.

With our first blog post, we thought we would take you through the 5 misconceptions homeowners think when considering hiring an interior designer.

Myth #1: Hiring an interior designer is too expensive

Reality: While there may be some initial costs associated with hiring an interior designer, the value they can bring to your project can far outweigh these costs. Designers can help you make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and source materials and furnishings customized to your tastes. Additionally, a well-designed space can increase the value of your home or business.

Myth #2: Interior designers only work on large-scale projects

Reality: Interior designers can work on projects of all sizes, from a single room to an entire home or commercial space. They can help you achieve your desired aesthetic, regardless of the scope of the project.

Myth #3: Interior designers impose their own style on their clients

Reality: A good interior designer will work with their clients to understand their unique preferences and needs. They will take into account the client's personal style and create a space that is a reflection of their individual tastes. This is why our initial design questionnaire is the first email we send you once hired for an initial consultation or design project

Myth #4: Interior designers are only concerned with aesthetics

Reality: While aesthetics are an important aspect of interior design, designers also take into account functionality, safety, and sustainability. They can help you make design decisions that enhance your daily life and improve the functionality of your space.

Myth #5: Interior designers only work with high-end products and materials

Reality: Interior designers can work with a variety of budgets and can source materials and furnishings at a range of price points. They can help you create a beautiful and functional space within your budget.
