There are many ways to benefit from using a PROFESSIONAL Interior Designer

Benefits
 
Space Planning:
Designers create functional, organized spaces that will be easily and fully utilized for long-term use.  A designer will study how you use each space including the number of people who use the space, its traffic patterns, and how frequently the space is used for different activities.  This saves you from purchasing out of scale furniture and constantly re-arranging the room.  Once a room is arranged and structured properly, the important pieces of the room truly pop out and create the aesthetic appeal you desire.  The secret is careful planning, whether for a room, or an entire home or office. 
 
Comfort and Style:
Casual Elegance is comfort with style.  It encompasses every style from sleek contemporary to classic traditional.  It's a matter of personal preference.  Interior Designers posses the savvy and techniques to make it happen your way. 
 
Budget:
If you feel you cannot afford to hire an Interior Designer, consider the fact that you can actually save money by using one.  Interior Designers' costs are more then covered by the benefits of pre-couseling. For example, a complete analysis avoids costly mistakes and saves you valuable time, effort, and money.  In addition, designers can buy at more affordable prices than the general public, and will advise you on making purchases that best suit you needs and budget.
 
Service:
The design business is truely a service-oriented business.  You need an Interior Designer who takes pride in individual attention to clients and offers a full range of services. 
 
Commerical:
Commerical projects demand experience as well as expertise.  Therefore, the Designer you choose for these expanded, costlier jobs should have total package capabilites with a weath of dependable resources from which to draw.  Whether building or renovationg a bank, resturant, medical, or office complex or even doing an historical restoration - from a small office to a multi-story building - select a designer who can manage the entire project expertly and cost-effectively.

Myths
 
Many people are afraid to use an Interior Designer because they have misconceptions.  We would like to clear up a few of them. 
 
Myth # 1     Using an Interior Designer will cost you money
 
Not true, we will help you spend your decorating dollars more wisely.  An interior designer is ike a good travel agent.  A travel agent helps you prepare for a trip, finding the best rates and travel times.  The trip costs no more because you used an agent.  Often times, it will cost you less.  The same holds true for a designer.
 
Myth # 2     The designer makes all the decisions
 
Not true, we do all the leg work and research finding the best possible solutions and narrowing down the options that will work for you.  You make the final decision!   We listen closely to what you want and provide it with good design continutity. 
 
Myth # 3     Designers throw out everything
 
Not true, we always work with quality or special existing pieces, whether it be a furniture piece, or a small accessory item.  We find out from you what you love and treasure.  Armed with this information, we can be much more creative, resulting in succesful completion and the fulfillment of your dreams.
