Finding the right interior designer (ID) is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are many IDs on the market, but unfortunately not every ID is a good ID. That\u2019s why the ability to discern between a good and bad ID is very important, especially for first-time homeowners. After all, you don\u2019t want to leave your first home in the hands of a bad ID and set yourself up for failure.<\/p>\n

Thus, at Hometrust, we wanted to design the right tool to help homeowners find the perfect ID for your renovation needs. Coupling our experience as an ID platform and our research on IDs, we came up with 4 factors that we think can help every homeowner find the perfect ID.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

The goal of interior design is to create a space that you not only find cosy and comfortable, but also be proud of the space to call it your home. And if you want to transform a space from its grey and concrete walls into a space that any homeowner enjoys, design will be a key element.<\/p>\n

Here are some key benefits that you can bring to your home with good designs.<\/p>\n

Good Design Adds Aesthetic Value To Your Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outstanding IDs are like artists. A few strokes of genius touches and they can turn your home into a piece of artwork.<\/p>\n

A Home With A Good Design Adds Functionality To The Place<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good IDs are able to find the perfect blend of design and functionality to create a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and fulfil your functional needs.<\/p>\n

A Well Designed Home Is Fit For Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Making it aesthetically pleasing and functional is important, but it also needs to be fit for purpose. When designing the space, the ID also needs to take the lifestyle of the homeowner into account so that it suits the homeowner.<\/p>\n

Thus, if you are looking for the perfect ID, you want to find one that has great design sense so that he\/she can help you design your perfect home. A simple way to do that is to browse through the portfolio of past work<\/a> from the interior design firm.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

2. Workmanship<\/h2>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”17122″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
Bedok Central ($49,000) by U-Home Interior Design Pte Ltd<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Having good design sense is just one part of the equation. The other half of the equation is workmanship. After all, design is just the blueprint for your home. The execution of the design is also key.<\/p>\n

If the interior design firm does not have a team of carpenters or contractors with good workmanship, they won\u2019t be able to execute on the design plan from the ID. That\u2019s why we sometimes hear of horror stories where IDs show promises of nice digital designs but the eventual output of the home is nowhere near the digital design.<\/p>\n

A proven method to find out which interior design firm possess the best workmanship, you can simply read reviews<\/a> or look at photos<\/a> of the interior design firm\u2019s work from other homeowners that have engaged them in the past. Or if you know of other homeowners who have engaged the same interior design firm, arrange for a house visit to their home to check out the kind of work produced by the interior design firm.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

3. Customer Service<\/h2>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”17121″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
Hillview Green ($80,000) by Design Avenue<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Interior design is a service that comes with many moving parts. An ID will need to handle multiple things at one go, from scheduling when contractors should come down to visiting showrooms with homeowners to select the furniture to planning for when the furniture should be delivered and collected.<\/p>\n

Because of the moving parts, the whole interior design process create unwanted hiccups that can potentially mess with your home\u2019s interior design and perhaps even the move in date.<\/p>\n

That is one of the reasons why it is of paramount importance for you to engage an interior design firm with great customer service. You want to entrust your home\u2019s interior design to a trusted and experienced interior design firm and ID so that you don\u2019t have much to worry about your renovation works. In addition, if the renovation work ever goes wrong, you know that the interior design firm will not shirk responsibility and leave you in the lurch.<\/p>\n

You can read about the experience of other homeowners<\/a> who have engaged the interior design firm that you are planning to shortlist and judge from their experience whether the interior design firm offers great customer service or not.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

4. Value for Money<\/h2>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”17120″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
225 Ang Mo Kio ($36,300) by Areana Creation Pte Ltd<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Last but not least, it is all about the price. Who doesn\u2019t want to engage an ID that offers great customer service, good workmanship and splendid design? But because of the rare combination of customer service, workmanship and design, some interior design firms do charge a high premium above the existing market rate. So, the question is, can you afford it?<\/p>\n

As such, value for money is also another criteria for you to consider when finding the perfect ID for your renovation needs. You want to find an ID that offers the most value for the price that you are expected to pay, be it for customer service, workmanship, design or a combination of the 3.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
