Essential reasons to hire an Interior Designer.
Do you really need to pay an interior designer to improve your living space?
What is an interior designer?
The clue is in the name I guess, but an interior designer is a creative professional that specialises in transforming a space into an area that is decorated to your tastes, or to a certain set of specific requirements (getting the most from your space for example).
There are so many reasons why you may need to use an interior designer. I’ve listed some of the main reasons in the article below.
Turn some heads.
Sometimes we all need a bit of help thinking outside the box. We want to create something spectacular, but we can’t quite visualise it ourselves, so we need the eyes of an interior design professional to make our vision a reality.
Reduce your Stress Levels.
Designing the interior of your new home can be very stressful, especially if you’re moving into a first-time home or a bigger property. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what you want in terms of both aesthetics and practicality - this is where an interior designer can reduce your stress levels by helping you make the right decisions based on your needs and requirements.
Tap into their knowledge and experience.
An experienced interior designer will have built up a large portfolio of contacts and resources that you can take advantage of. Examples include suppliers and retailers for sourcing furniture and materials, in addition to trades people for making structural changes to your home.
Decide where best to spend your money.
If you have a limited budget, then you may think that spending extra money on hiring an Interior Designer is a bad idea! However, the opposite is completely true. An experienced interior designer will be able to save you money by helping you to avoid costly mistakes. They can also help you to get the most value from making cost-effective purchases.
Save yourself time.
For all of us, time is precious. Most of us lead incredibly busy lives and we don’t have the time to spend researching into different types of interior design ideas and ways top make the most of our space. Instead, delegate to your interior designer and let them research into different products, styles and services.
Make it easier to sell your home.
First impressions last and when it comes to selling your home, everyone looks at the interior pictures online before deciding to arrange a viewing. An interior designer will suggest different ways to improve the lighting, aesthetics and organisation of your home in order to make each room look spacious and attractive, increasing the chances of selling your home and maximising your profitability.

How to convert your loft into an office.
Introduction. The last 12 months have been incredibly challenging for us all. Since the lockdown began last year, many of us had no option but to make the transition from working in our familiar office space to working from home. This transition is very challenging for those of us that don’t have a dedicated space at home that we can use to work undisturbed, especially for those of us that need to make numerous phone call, or have technical jobs that require a lot of concentration.

The Consequence of Greed
Snowfall had turned the lush green trees of the forest completely white. It was the heart of winter, and as soon as the snow began to fall, a deep silence spread through the jungle. The animals who had wisely stored food before the cold arrived were now resting comfortably in their homes, eating and drinking without worry. But those who had made no preparations were shivering in the freezing weather, wandering around in search of food.

The CEO of Everything
They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional. (As professional as you can make it with nothing but a cell phone camera and a mic that doesn't work)
