I used to be under the impression that an interior designer near Lewes was a real luxury, however, since delving further into this inspirational world, and forming a career in this industry, I have discovered that it is not! And there are several reasons why..

1) Trade discounts!
So yes, there is a cost involved in hiring an interior designer, however the cost can often be offset by the incredible savings that they will be able to offer you. From high street brands to more luxurious homeware labels, many retailers offer an interior designer near Lewes amazing discounts – sometimes up to 30% off! Which means you can afford to have some style help, and shop from your favourite retailers along the way.
2) Sample pot costs!
My goodness, I’ve come across many people who really struggle to decide on colours, I’m talking 100’s of pounds spent on expensive little tester pots – which I also find quite harmful on the environment. Inevitably the are used to test a small square on a wall or two and then are either thrown into landfill, or you end up having to take them to a tip to dispose of the remaining paint waste. Using an interior designer in East Sussex will avoid this faffy expense. We’ve tried and tested hundreds of colours in our projects, we know what paint brands offer beautiful shades and we know what colours work in different room orientations and which colours will pair perfectly together – resulting in a beautifully harmonious scheme.
3) Avoid expensive mistakes
Interior designers in Lewes avoid costly mistakes. People have reached out to me when they’ve chosen a colour, painted their room and discovered they hated it! And this can be an expensive mistake. Paint isn’t cheap, and if you’ve hired a decorator, such a mistake is even more expensive. Getting it right from the get-go is where using an interior designer near Tunbridge Wells can save you from making a costly mistake.
4) We’ll shop around!
Not only will an interior designer in East Sussex save you time, they can also help save you money by shopping around. We’ll stick to a budget, and we love a good bargain, so we’ll take the hassle and stress away from research and do all the hard work for you finding items and keeping costs in mind.
5) We’re not trying to sell you anything!
We all know that retailers are trying to sell as much as they can to you, however by using an interior designer in Eastbourne, we are able to help make purchases cost efficient. We think outside the box, we question if we really want / need that bulky kitchen unit that someone is trying to tell us is essential for our mugs, and we create spaces that are the prefect balance between functionality and aesthetic pleasure.
I hope by reading this that you’ll reach out to enquire about your next project. I’m happy to help with projects large and small, no matter the budget.
