In addition to their in-depth knowledge of products, materials and finishes, professional designers have the training and expertise to plan, schedule, execute and manage your project from start to finish. They know and work closely with many vendors, contractors and other service providers, coordinating and orchestrating the entire design team. Designers also provide specification and purchasing services to procure materials, furniture, accessories and art; some of which you might not be able to find on your own.
When you hire an Interior Designer, you get the benefit of an experienced professional who can solve problems, help you avoid costly mistakes and, most importantly, create an attractive, affordable space designed specifically to meet your lifestyle needs.
Whether your project involves new construction, leased property, remodeling, renovation or preservation, an Interior Designer can help you get the most out of your investment. Of course, an Interior Designer will make your interiors look great, but he or she can provide many other services as well. In addition, because client and end-user needs vary among industries, Commercial Designers tend to practice in certain specialty areas, bringing an in-depth knowledge of markets, applicable codes, products, technologies and trends from their research, education and experience. A designer can work with you to not only address your immediate business needs, but also support your longer-term objectives and goals.

“Interior Design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as well as surface treatment. Not to be confused with interior decoration, interior design draws on aspects of environmental psychology, architecture, and product design in addition to traditional decoration.
An Interior Designer is a person who is considered a professional in the field of Interior Design or one who designs interiors as part of their job. Interior Design is a creative practice that analyzes programmatic information, establishes a conceptual direction, refines the design direction, and produces graphic communication and construction documents. In some jurisdictions, Interior Designers must be licensed to practice.”
