why hire an interior designer?

Many people think, that hiring an interior designer will be too expensive, or that they’d lose control. This is not true. When you work with a designer:

• You are more likely to meet your budget.
• You are much less likely to make expensive mistakes.
• You have an expert working with you, someone who will make sure the end result is exactly what you were hoping for.
• You will save time, headaches, and money.

Designers of Elle Interiors are Allied ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association) and we also hold a General Contractor license. We have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the processes involved in designing, remodeling, staging or selecting colors.

Great spaces do not happen by accident. Some people have a gift for putting together rooms in a way that is pleasing to the eye, as well as functional. However, most people struggle with this. It seems so easy, but still, they cannot make it happen. Interior designers have extensive training that accompanies an interior design degree. When we look at and plan a room, we always base it on the principles of design: scale and proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony. For a room to come together well, all these principles should be considered. We also pay attention to the elements of design: space, line, shape and mass, texture, light, color, and pattern. As designers, we use our knowledge in these areas to create interiors that are physically and psychologically comfortable, as well as beautiful and functional.

As your interior designer, we will:

• Help you find and enhance your style – we have the knowledge and expertise to help you pinpoint your style and needs. Our suggestions for you will work towards creating a home that reflects who you are. There are a myriad of design choices, our advice will always guide you to what will work best for you.
• Solve problems – every project, small or large, presents challenges. We are trained in knowing how to come up with solutions that work, and solve the problems when they arise.
• Prevent costly mistakes – there are so many choices out there, and how do you know what is better than something else? We have the expertise and will guide you to make the right choices for you.
• Simplify your life – We can make the most of what you have and do the research to find what you need. We will do the work for you, and when your projects are done, your home will not only be beautiful, it will also be more functional.
• Make sure the job gets done – as designers, we work with some of the best painters, installers, contractors etc. During a project we will make sure that everything is completed, and that all the details have been taken care of.
• Give you access to resources unavailable to you – there is a world of furnishings, fabrics, accessories that are “to the trade only”. Working with us as your interior designers gives you access to these.

Elle Interiors also offers 2 hour consultations during which we can select new colors, discuss furniture placements, and a lot more. You will be amazed at how much that can get accomplished in only two hours!
