Why should you hire a professional interior designer?

Hiring a professional interior designer is as important to a successful home improvement project or new construction job as the best painter, plumber, or electrician you choose. Actually, since your interior designer drives your project, you’re free from those kinds of choices! That’s what you hired her for!

Talking with Julie Reinecke of Julie Reinecke Designs , she told us, “I love to help transform my clients’ homes so it’s a reflection of their personal taste and style. It doesn’t have to be a huge renovation with tearing down walls, sometimes it’s as simple as updating the paint, rearranging furniture, and adding a few new accessories.”

So, the long-and-short of it? It’s FUN! And, in the end, hiring a professional interior designer will save you time, money, and stress.

A key advantage of hiring a designer is their relationships with the finest craftsmen and the most careful and reliable contractors available. This access to the best painters and other service contractors means you don’t have to worry about the quality of the work.

When a designer oversees your project, you don’t have to worry about the small details, such as schedules, purchasing, or progress.

Your designer provides you with a professional assessment of your project. They have the experience and knowledge of the industry to quickly respond to your ideas and be able to expand and realize those ideas. You’re not spending countless hours researching products, costs, the best painters and contractors, etc. without a clear direction. Nor will you have to devote your days to overseeing the execution of the project.

Julie Reinecke, of Julie Reinecke Designs , says, “I love to come up with creative and unique ways to transform my clients’ homes or businesses. It’s not always spending a fortune, sometimes it’s just being creative with what they have and thinking outside the box.
