So…What Is It Actually Like to Work With an Interior Designer?

Let’s clear something up.

Hiring an interior designer does not mean:

  • You lose control of your home.
  • I throw out everything you own.
  • Or I show up speaking in fabric codes and mood board riddles.

Working with a designer should feel like finally having someone in your corner , someone who can see the full picture when you’re stuck in the details.

If you’ve never worked with one before, here’s what it’s really like.

First: We Get Clear (On Real Life, Not Just Pinterest)

Before we talk sofas or lighting, we talk about you.

How do you live?
Where does the clutter pile up?
Do you host? Hide from hosting? Work from the dining table?

Design that looks good but doesn’t function is just expensive frustration.
We design around your real life… not a staged one.

Second: The Overwhelm Gets Smaller

You know that feeling of:

  • 37 tabs open
  • 12 saved sofas
  • 3 paint samples
  • Zero decisions

Yeah. That ends.

Instead of endless options, you get:

  • A narrowed, intentional direction
  • Pieces that work together
  • A plan before purchases

You stop guessing. You start deciding.

Third: You Don’t Lose Your Voice … It Gets Refined

A good designer doesn’t override your taste.
They translate it.

You might say:

“I like modern but warm but not cold but not too trendy…”

And I hear:

“Okay. Elevated. Textured. Grounded. Timeless but current.”

That’s the difference.

Fourth: There’s a Plan (Finally)

Impulse purchases disappear when there’s a bigger picture.

We look at:

  • Scale
  • Layout
  • Lighting
  • Flow
  • How every piece talks to the next

Your home starts feeling cohesive instead of “almost right.”

Fifth: You Feel Confident

This is the part people don’t talk about enough.

At the end, it’s not just:
“This looks beautiful.”

It’s:
“I finally feel settled.”
“I’m not second-guessing every choice.”
“This feels like me, just elevated.”

That’s the goal.

So… Is It Time?

If you’re tired of:

  • Second-guessing every decision
  • Buying pieces that almost work
  • Trying to piece together a room without a clear direction

You don’t need more inspiration.

You need a plan.

I offer both virtual and in-home design services for homeowners who want clarity, cohesion, and a space that actually feels finished.
