Interior designers have multiple functions when it comes to achieving the look you desire in your home. An interior designer's job is to make sure that there is functional and effective use of the space in your home. An interior designer can help with lighting, shelving, artwork and furniture. They can also help with remodeling projects such as kitchen remodeling or adding a home addition. They can consult with everyone involved in the project, to be sure that the space is being used efficiently and the built-in structures are being put exactly where you would like them.
One of the first steps an interior designer will take is to sit down and talk to you about what your vision is. He/she will want to know how the space that is being designed will be used. If it's the kitchen, the interior designer will want to know your family's cooking and eating habits. If it's the family room, he/she will want to know how your family spends their time in there. Be prepared for many questions, not only so the interior designer can create his/her design, but also so you get the results you desire.
Once the planning stage is done, and the interior designer has a good feel for what it is you are looking for, he/she will put together a design as he/she sees fit as well as an estimate of costs. The plans are typically designed through a software program, making revisions a fairly easy process. If there is anything in the decision you aren't completely satisfied with, now would be the time to make changes.
Once designs have been finalized, the interior designer will start to order the necessary materials, furnishings and artwork to complete the project. The interior designer will also work out schedules with everyone that is involved in the project. Sometimes simple projects only require the services of the interior designer, but more complex projects might require a construction inspector, electricians and other service men.
Ultimately the interior designer is the person that oversees the entire project and makes sure that all projects are being completed correctly and in a timely manner.
