The very concept of “interior design” entered our lives relatively recently. During the Soviet Union, the concept of residential interior did not exist at all; during the years of perestroika and immediately after gaining independence, the country was dominated by an economic crisis, and aesthetics issues faded into the background. 

Before you decide to contact an interior designer in Bangalore, it makes sense to answer a few questions for yourself. Are you ready to entrust the arrangement of your home to a complete stranger? Are you ready to trust his professionalism, trust his opinion, and follow his advice?

Are you ready to pay an adequate amount of money for the services of this professional? Are you ready to implement bold, extraordinary solutions in your home and use non-standard techniques? Are you ready to put in the effort to convey your vision of your home to the designer? Are you ready to give him a certain degree of freedom in the creative process? These are very important indeed.

Benefits of working with an interior designer

So, if you decide to order an interior design from a professional, what will you get from it? Working with a designer has several significant advantages.

Firstly, each design project is unique. You get a room with an original image, unlike others, revealing your individuality.

Secondly, the room designed by the designer will be decorated professionally and harmoniously, taking into account the laws of composition, color psychology, and stylistics. The designer is a professional, so education, knowledge and experience, as well as artistic taste, speak in his favor.

Thirdly, you optimize the costs of repair and construction work – calculation of the necessary materials, as well as the ability to check design options virtually or on paper, without resorting to alterations on site.

How to evaluate the professionalism and experience of a designer?

Ask to bring a complete design project for one of the objects

Best of all, of course, realized, with final photographs. Take the time to consider it thoughtfully. Ask all imaginable and unimaginable questions, both on the external and aesthetic, as well as on the practical and constructive side of the project. 

Why is this such a strange decision? What is this thing made of? How is this done? But is this solution very expensive? An experienced designer will easily answer your questions. And even if he is not very experienced, he completed this object from beginning to end.

Detailing

Next, look on the Internet for detailed options for the composition of a design project – they are available on the websites of design firms and may have some differences. When meeting with a candidate designer, ask what services and what kind of project package he offers. 

Compare

Next, again look on the Internet for questionnaires or technical specifications for interior design. This is a list of technical and aesthetic questions that you need to answer, first of all, for yourself before starting the interior design process. 

Essentially, these are questions that help you describe in general terms your requirements for the future interior. Many designers have their own questionnaires, but in any case, it doesn’t hurt to think about some questions in advance and discuss them with your family members.

Take your search for a designer very seriously

How does a person look for an apartment? At a minimum, he examines several proposals, perhaps assessing the pros and cons of each option. In the same way, it makes sense to look for a designer, and not the least important factor in this is that the designer should be pleasant to you as a person.

Last words 

And one last thing. Don’t skimp on designer services. If you find a designer with a good portfolio, high-quality projects, intelligent, experienced and pleasant in all respects, do not refuse him in favor of a cheaper one.
