why hire an interior designer?

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE

Often times, the most difficult spaces to plan are the ones we live in. We are too close to build an objective plan and it can be overwhelming, even with the best of inspiration offered up by Pinterest boards or Instagram feeds. An interior designer will come with fresh eyes and the experience of pulling together spaces based on your needs.

FORM & FUNCTION

Space planning and considering the functionality of that space are core tenets of the process an interior designer goes through. The most inspiring idea is only great if it also offers necessary function and livability.

COHESIVENESS

An important consideration in the process is not only evaluating the desired space, but the adjacent spaces and rooms as well. There should be a thoughtful application of design style that easily flows from one room to the other. This brings the entire home together and can visually enlarge the space.

TRADE RELATIONSHIPS

Designers spend time cultivating relationships with both local and international brands and retailers across all aspects of design. These one on one trade relationships help us procure the perfect items for you that may be difficult to find (and we can often get them faster); send out specialty samples, etc to deliver on time and in budget.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS...

In the online and brick-and-mortar marketplaces, there are ENDLESS possibilities. This can lead to analysis paralysis, where making even the smallest decision can feel insurmountable. A designer will provide an edited offering from which to choose just the right elements, products, and colors based on your goals and budget.

Design process

STEP 1: LET'S CONNECT

Email us at elevatedinteriorspnw@gmail.com to schedule a complimentary pre-consultation call.

STEP 2: DESIGN CONSULTATION

After our pre-consultation, this on-site (or virtual) meeting will zero in on the specifications for your project in context of the space(s) we'll be working on.

STEP 3: DESIGN PROCESS COMMENCES

This is a multi-phased journey where we will first identify the home's signature style (don't worry, we have tools to help!) and then draft mood boards to capture that vision. Then the fun begins! We will outline the project's journey and timelines and communicate what to expect during the entire process.

STEP 4: ENJOY YOUR NEW SPACE!

Whether this project is to enhance the current physical space for personal enjoyment, or to prepare the property for better resale, having us manage all of the details and logistics will save time and money.
