Design professionals are your resource to the latest trends, best products and ideas to help assist you in the best possible way to achieve your goals. The designer will do the footwork for you while providing the very best for your budget. They can save you hundreds of dollars on just one project by helping to prevent costly mistakes. The agreed upon fee can be by the hour or by the project depending on the client's needs. Below I have outlined some tips for choosing a designer:
- Interview several designers to find the best fit for your project.
- A professional will be upfront about the fees and cost so there will be no hidden fees that will surprise you in the end. Ask questions!
- Find a designer that fits your budget and project. Some professionals only deal with certain aspects of design and have a minimum charge.
- Be sure to express your feelings to the designer and keep the lines of communication open.
- This should be an enjoyable experience! If not, then choose another designer. Any recommendations you can get from other clients are always helpful.
- A true professional will be able to buy at wholesale and save you money!
