Interior designer hints

Consumers planning to carry out home improvement work such as the installation of kitchen extensions or conservatories may be tempted to involve an interior designer.

News provider CNN gives a number of hints and tips on how best to work with such an individual, explaining that a good designer has the potential to save months of hunting around for product samples and carrying out other research.

It adds that they can carry out a range of duties, such as acting as a sounding board for ideas to being more hands-on and buying paint and fabric, supervising a job and scheduling an installation.

The provider concludes by suggesting an interview with potential designers to see if they can appreciate their clients tastes.
