Schinkel House of Design's Frequently Asked Questions

Want to know more about what it's like to hire Schinkel House of Design for your next project? In this blog post I will be sharing the answers to all of SHDs FAQs. 

Why hire Schinkel House of Design?

Design may seem like a simple concept, but there is so many elements that contribute to a beautifully designed and cohesive space. Not only will SHD take care of you and your needs each step of the way, but it's important for me to provide great customer service and make sure that you are 100% happy with the final result. What's also important to me is the fact that as a designer I don't get to live in your space, so I want to make sure that you, the client, are really happy in your space. 

What can an interior designer do for me?

An interior designer can help you with your project in multiple ways! Interior designers help you make selections for finishes and furniture, create floorplans, and add the finishing details to your new space. Your designer can bring value to your project by being the trained eye to help you narrow down decisions and help you choose the right materials for a cohesive space. A designer can also create floorplans and renderings that will help you in designing a functional space and give visuals to the what the final product will look like. Hiring a designer not only benefits your project overall, but will keep you from making costly mistakes that can take up the time and money you don't deserve to lose. Designers will guide you in the right direction and will help you to create a space that you are truly happy about!

Why hire an interior designer?

A designer is just like any other sub-trade in a project, they are an integral part to keep a project running smoothly. Designers will help you make those important decisions in a timely manner and will work hard to get you the new space you have always dreamed of! It's so easy for people to not hire an interior designer, but hiring will cost %15-20 of your overall construction cost.

What's the difference between an interior decorator and an interior designer?

An interior designer will help you create and design your dream space. Whether it involves moving walls, ordering cabinetry, or choosing the right light fixture a designer will help with all aspects of design. An interior decorator only focuses on the accessories and decor within a room and will not design anything. A designer is extremely valuable in this way as they can assist you with any aspect of how you want the interior of your home to look. At Schinkel House of Design I take pride in the fact that I can help my clients with the many details that contribute to a beautifully designed home. 

When should I hire a designer?

If you are planning on starting a large scale renovation or are building a brand new home I would recommend hiring a designer 1-2 months before the renovation process begins. This allows plenty of time to make all of your selections and to feel confident in how your new space or home is going to look. Making these important decisions early also allows for the rest of the project to run smoothly without costly mistakes or delays on your project.
