It’s something to think about if you haven’t already done so. Hiring an interior designer/decorator is a smart decision, if you’ve invested a good bit of money into your home and want to be able to showcase it to look its best. Decorators truly serve a purpose for everyone. Whether you have no idea where or how to begin to decorate your home, or whether you have an idea but need help tying pieces together, or you simply haven’t the time to execute your style and desires due to your busy day to day schedule.The student in Interior design recently asked me (Joy Ofili Yebovi) creative director of Simplinteriors School of interior design & Entrepreneurship in  Nigeria to explain why hiring an Interior Decorator is a wise and sensible choice. Toss aside the idea that interior decorators are only for the rich and famous or those with so much money that they don’t know what to do with it all. In reality they save a great deal of time, money and headache. Here are the sensible reasons why you should hire an interior designer/decorator.
BUDGETING AND PLANNING.

If you can hire a professional designer it can help to keep you on budget and save you time and effort, because we plan and also help you manage your budget. As a professional designer I know where to go for resources for everything related to your home. This will save you endless amounts of time researching products, brands and prices. A designer will have all this readily on hand, and should he or she not, will spend the time researching so that you don’t have to.

 PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT

In Lagos Nigeria a designer can give you a professional assessment of your situation that will lead to a solid plan of action. The order of things in a design plan is key in determining what can be repurposed or should be edited. This will not only affect the budget but help you to spend it more efficiently.” A designer offers an extra set of eyes, but these eyes are trained to see and notice things that you may not.

SAVE MONEY

It might sound strange that hiring someone to design or decorate your home would save you money since you have the additional fee of the designer; however Joy Ofili Yebovi make a compelling point to her Interior design students and customers. “Hiring a designer can help you to avoid costly mistakes that will not only help you save money but can increase the value of your home.” Especially when selling your home interior design is essential. It can help boost buyer appeal and set your home above the competition.

CONTACTS

As one of the Top interior designer here in Nigeria I states that: “In addition to vendor resources, designers have many home improvement and industry contacts. They can save homeowners time and headaches trying to identify reliable, contractors, plumbers and electricians for their projects.” You don’t have to border anymore because Simplinteriors & deco has the entire requirement that is needed for your home.

WIDE AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES

Resources are one of the most things a home need for interiors. There are things available to Interior designers that are not available to the general public in terms of connections, resources and general merchandise. By culminating these resources as an Interior designer I can help to make your space look more collected, unique and pulled together.

LIAISON

In Nigeria an expert in interior design will be able to build “a strong bridge between you and your architect or contractor early on and can head off design misses in your overall plan. This is crucial in managing time and money says Joy Ofili to her students at Simplinteriors school of Interior design. Also designers are trained to think about things we may overlook. “It’s so important that the lighting and furnishing needs are addressed before construction. If your living room sofa is floating in the middle of the room and you want to make sure you have the proper placement for floor outlets, you will have to consult a professional interior design company like Simplinteriors & deco to help re-organize your home.

WOW FACTOR

In the whole world today everyone wants to make their home look wow when inviting friends and family over. Consulting an interior designer to help you decorate your home is one of the best decisions you have made. Simplinteriors & deco one the Top interior design company in Nigeria can help to give you that factor you’ve been looking for. We are trained to think differently, spatially and to see an overall picture that clients often cannot. “Thinking outside of the box is what designers do all day long.” Says Joy Ofili Yebovi.

HOME SALE

A decorator/designer can potentially add a great deal to the aesthetic of your home, which in turn can increase showings and sales. This increased appeal can exponentially speed up the amount of time your home sits on the market before it is sold. The benefit here is two-fold, a faster turn-around time and more money in your pocket. A TRAINED EYE “A designer is a professional with a trained eye that can automatically tell you if there is something wrong or right with a space. Having that immediate consult is a major advantage when making aesthetic decisions. It is the result of years of experience.”  Often times homeowners try to do it all themselves and get frustrated. Look at these most common interior design mistakes and how to solve them.

VISUAL STORY TELLER
As an interior designer I conclude with the fact that, “Interior design is a skill and an art that will only enhance the space and the quality of your life in the space. Hiring pro raises the level of that experience and makes your house a home. A designer can help you tell your visual story. I can’t think of a better reason than that!”Given all this information will you consider hiring an interior designer the next time you remodel, buy a home or move to a new place? The choice is yours.
