How to Hire the Right Interior Designer Service for Your Project

Interior designers do much more than just picking out the fabrics and colours to use. They put effort and spend time on arranging a space to make it both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound. They consider your standard of living, lifestyle, architecture of the home and placement things such as electrical outlets, vents and lighting fixtures and/or any other component that may influence the interior.

And here is how to hire the right interior services to complete your project (whether residential or office) perfectly.

• Shop around – This is the first and foremost thing to do before making any hiring decision. Interior  services in Kolkata have their own style of designing. So it is recommended that you visit the designer’s portfolio to have an idea of their general style of working. Make sure your chosen designer’s style aligns with your requirement and they are truly interested to work as per your ideas, as much as possible. Collecting thinks such a fabric swatches, colours and images would be great if you can’t articulate what you want.

• Put down magazines – Don’t try to copy what you have seen in a magazine or on Pinterest board. The images might be looking stunning, but that doesn’t mean that your space also look alike – this is not realistic. Even if the floor plan is same, then also budget and/or other things can make the difference. Instead of focusing on what your space would do for those pretty things you like, you better focus on what those pretty things of your choice can do with your space.

• Consider your needs – Make sure you know what exactly you want. If you want the designer to take up the whole process, it’s fine. But if you just need an effective push in the proper direction, better you just have a consultation with your interior designer. Usually designers offer consultation services along with a full package, much like a wedding planner. If you’re confident about your DIY talent, ask yourself if you really need something more than just a consultation.

• Consider payment options – Some charge on hourly basis while others charge flat fee. And there are some that can charge you a percentage of the cost of the whole project. Some would prefer to use a ‘cost-plus’ system – when the designer makes any purchase for your job at a discounted price, they would charge you the retail price and keep the difference amount as their fee. Moreover, you might be billed phone expenses, travel expenses, expenses related to visiting various places etc. You should fully understand how to pay the designer, in advance.

• Understand your needs – Are there any furniture that simply don’t go? Do you have any hard pass for which colour or fabrics to use? Are you sure of what atmosphere or mood you want to create? Make sure you understand your needs and then chalk out a great plan sitting with your designer to make the project successful.

These are just a few things you should keep in mind while looking for the best interior designing services in Kolkata for your project.
