The cherry on top
Reducing stress, maximise your budget and getting the very best results – Rangiora-based Feather & Oak Interiors owner and lead designer Katy Husband on why you should choose to work with a qualified interior designer.
There are many benefits to working with an interior designer and there can be many misconceptions about our profession.
An interior designer is here to guide you through one of the most stressful events in life – building and renovating. These major events are likened to the stress of having a child and for very good reason!
Building and renovating can take years and turn life upside down when trying to combine life-as-usual with hundreds of build decisions on what is often our most expensive asset.
An interior designer will get to know you on a personal level and understand the way you live your life. Are you a foodie, an entertainer or a homebody? All of these questions will help define the design of your home.
An interior designer should be someone you feel at ease with and build a level of trust.
Building fatigue is something that every client on the building journey will experience at some point. An interior design is able to breathe zest into a project when you are feeling overwhelmed by the process.
Think of us as the cherry on the top of the lengthy building process – someone that can bring the joy back into the building or renovating process and help to make your interior dreams a reality.
During your project a good interior designer can alleviate a lot of the stress – much like a midwife! An interior designer has the connections to direct you to the right people and to refine your decisions and material choices.
You can have confidence that you are selecting the best when you work with a designer who has done the hard work for you. We are staying abreast of trends and being in regular contact with suppliers who are sharing the latest innovations within the design and build industry – a constantly evolving space.
A misconception about interior designers is that we’re going to overshoot the budget. An interior designer is actually your best choice for maximising your budget and ensuring you spend in the right places.
There are many ways we can go about saving you money and still achieve the luxurious interior you desire and with a network of contacts among artisans and manufacturers you can often be presented with tailor-made, bespoke solutions for your build.
If you are embarking on the build or renovation path and you can relate to any of this then we would love to be your first port of call. It’s never too early (or too late) to engage the services of an interior designer. We are a full service interior design and window furnishings business in the heart of Rangiora, servicing the South Island.
