Interior Design Budgeting

“What budget do you have in mind for your home redesign?”

This is definitely the most feared question we put to our clients!

Ninety per cent of the time the response is “We don’t know, can you help us with this?”.

Budgeting for your interior design project can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t take us long to arrive at an estimated number. If you’ve not bought furniture for a while, or never started a room completely from scratch, it can be quite a surprise at how quickly the cost adds up.

Let us help find your interior budget

To help with this process, we’ve put together an interior design budget checklist including all the essential items you might need for the key rooms in your home and give you three price point indicators to work with.

A good interior designer will never shop in just one store, they have an extensive repertoire of sources and suppliers, and their skill in mixing them up to suit their clients’ room schemes is what makes them magicians of the interior world.  It is not easy to create a well-balanced interior, understanding scale, space, light, and use of materials, then matching this with the demands of the space is all part of a designer’s training. 

Making your budget go further

A lovely home interior is not the same as a well-designed one, and knowing the budget at the outset helps your interior designer to apportion your investment, focusing where it matters the most. For example, quality seating and lighting in your living room design may be far more important than rugs or accessories. It’s all about making your money work better, and using it wisely to choose items that bring happiness and practicality.

Invest in items that change your life

Think of it as saving up for a great holiday. We all know how much more fun we have when we have enough spending money, well, the design process is the same. In place of happy holiday memories, the result is a beautiful and practical change to your living environment, that will last many years if done well.
