Why Hire an Interior Designer?

Have you just bought an apartment? Here's who to hire

It's something to think about if you haven't already done so. Hiring an interior decorator is a smart decision — you've invested a good deal of money into your home and want it to suit your needs in a functional and aesthetic way, while getting it to look its best.

Decorators truly serve a purpose for everyone

Whether you have no idea where or how to begin decorating your home, or you have an idea but need help tying pieces together, or you simply haven't the time to execute your style and desires because of your day-to-day schedule — an interior designer is a wise and sensible choice.

Toss aside the idea that interior decorators are only for the rich and famous, or for those with so much money they don't know what to do with it. In reality, they save you a great deal of time, money and headache.

And here's how

It might sound strange that hiring an interior designer to plan and decorate your home would save you money, despite the additional fee. But hiring an interior designer helps you avoid costly mistakes.

This is something I hear again and again: people regret not having hired an interior designer from the start. They realise mid-way into renovations that so many mistakes could have been avoided had they brought a designer in initially, starting with the floor plans.

Hear it straight from some of my clients

"We started construction without having a final electric plan. The first problem we encountered was that we didn't hire an interior designer for the electric plan, and so didn't go over the amounts and locations of electric points to make sure the electricity was where we needed it. That led to the problem of not having a furniture plan — we weren't sure where the beds would be so early in the planning stages, so we just told our kablan to put extra outlets and switches just in case. We overestimated the amount of outlets we needed and ended up with an extra 20 wasted outlets, which cost us an extra 5,000 shekels. We have many outlets that have gone to waste as we don't have any use for them. In short: hire an interior designer to finalise plans in detail, including furniture and room layout, as much as possible before contract." — A.B., Sanhedria Murchevet

"It really pays to take an interior designer. It can help you avoid some aggravating and costly mistakes. Before I met Chani, I thought I could do it all alone. But when I realised I needed help and had Chani come down to check out my place, she was able to pinpoint immediately what needed to be done to create pleasant and beautiful rooms. From accessorising, to sufficient lighting, to making sure furniture fits the space, and more — there is so much that interior designing can add to the ambiance and functionality of your home. Thank you!" — L.S., Givat Ze'ev

"When it came to choosing colours of paint, tiles and bathroom design, we were really at a loss and confused. We were looking for a decorator who would give us direction while keeping our taste in mind. Mrs. Sternbuch guided us in a gentle, considerate and professional manner. She has a combination of excellent taste, innovative ideas and a tremendous amount of patience that together make her one of a kind. Hiring Mrs. Sternbuch put us at ease and transformed our renovation experience into a joy rather than a headache, and b"H we are thrilled with the choices we made together. Hatzlacha to everyone!" — T.B., Sanhedria Murchevet
