Top Three Reasons to Hire an Interior Designer
Having a home that’s both functional and beautiful is good for the soul. It’s wonderful to have a space that is organized and has that special touch that really makes your place feel amazing.
Unfortunately, many people don’t live in a home like that. But you can!
As a premier interior designer in Austin, Texas, I help people bring their homes to life.
The question is…when do you want to call in an expert? Here are the top three reasons to hire an interior designer…
#1 When you’re moving into a new home or creating a new space, it’s a great time to call in an interior designer. Often there are choices to make regarding selections that can become mind-boggling to do on your own. Moving into a new home is also the perfect time to get rid of the old and start fresh. You’ll wanna make sure that everything flows together and is reflective of your tastes.
#2 If you’re tired of your home being a mixed bag of old stuff that you’ve accumulated, but it doesn’t go well together, and it’s not very attractive. That’s a good time to call in a professional design consultant. The space that you live and work in is very important to your overall health. Making upgrades to your home is an investment that you will not regret.
#3 If you’re ready for a change and it feels overwhelming to tackle a design job by yourself, that’s exactly when to contact a design expert. A good interior designer can guide you to make selections that create harmony and order in your home and make it look and feel vibrant and alive.

How to Prepare Your Space Before Working With a Residential Interior Designer
You know you need help with your space, but you don’t know where to begin? No worries. I’ll break it down for you.
First, how do you begin the process of choosing a residential design consultant? I share that HERE in my blog below.
After you’ve chosen an interior designer, carve out time to go through your space and decide what you want to keep and what has to go. Make a donate pile and a trash pile. Some good questions to ask when you’re going through your things are…
“Does this bring me joy?”
“Will I ever use this again?”
This process is important to your wellness because it gives you a chance to let go of what no longer serves you. It’s not necessary to organize what’s left because that’s what you’re hiring someone to do. Your job is just to get rid of things that you no longer need.
Lastly, be clear on what you want done and your preferences for colors and styles. If you’re unsure of the names of design styles, don’t worry about that. Simply communicate things that you like.
These tips will help your process with an interior designer to flow smoothly, so you can create the wonderful new space that you need and want.

What You Need to Know When Hiring a Residential Designer in Austin Texas
Getting ready for a redo of your home or moving into a new space? There’s so much to consider that it can be overwhelming!
That’s when a residential home interior designer can make your life so much easier. But how do you choose when there’s so many?
Here are some helpful suggestions as you navigate your selection…
First, do the photos on their website or listing grab your attention?
Even if it’s not exactly your style or colors, the “pictures are worth a thousand words” because they convey the overall energy of the designer.
Do the photos bring you joy, peace or help you relax?
Second, what do the reviews say about the interior designer?
Even if you find someone who gives you a super low quote, can they deliver quality work in a timely fashion?
Do clients enjoy working with them, and are they excited about their new space?
Because at the end of the day, this is about you and your space.
Thirdly, what is a reasonable rate for interior designers in Austin, Texas?
“It costs anywhere from $50 to $200 per hour to work with an interior designer, depending on location and expertise.”
You get what you pay for. It’s important to understand this investment is in you and your well-being because the place where you live and work directly impact your health.
If the space is dull and disorganized, that’s how you feel.
But if the space is alive, fresh, organized and beautiful, that’s how you feel.
Investing in quality interior design is like therapy and well worth your investment.
I hope this helps in your selection process.

Three Simple Interior Design Tips to Enliven Your Home/Workspace
Is your space feeling stuck and stagnant?
You know that feeling that everything’s the same and it’s not going anywhere new?
Our spaces mirror our inner world, and even in clean organized spaces, it’s important to keep things fresh.
Here are three tips for enlivening your home/workplace:
1. Get rid of old stuff that you don’t use or no longer bring you joy.
Sometimes you may hold onto things for sentimental value, but you know you’ll never use that thing again.
And you don’t really even like it that much anymore.
It’s okay to let it go. You’re going to feel much lighter and freer if you do.
2. Clean and organize your space.
Your space is so important to your well-being.
If your space is chaotic and dirty, that’s how you feel.
It literally breeds depression.
But if it’s clear and ordered, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
You’ll find yourself feeling lighter, clearer and energized.
It’s like therapy!
3. Move things around from time to time.
Trade out art pieces and shift them around.
Move furniture, even if it’s in simple ways.
Swap out pillows or accent pieces.
What this does is to move energy that can get stuck in your space, just like it gets stuck within us.
These are simple life hacks that can make a huge difference in your overall health.
If you want help with this process, that’s my specialty.
I collaborate to design organized beautiful spaces around my clients’ wellbeing and unique preferences.
