Tips to choose a good interior decorator

designerA home with elegant interior decoration will never miss a visitor’s glance and in fact stands out when compared to other homes. Every home owner aspires to have the best decorated home, be it a bungalow, an apartment or a home. Interior decorations enhance and add charm to a home if decorated appropriately. This can be done through an interior decorator.

An interior decorator is a person who creates and executes aesthetic design plans for interior spaces. His/her job varies based on a project and will comprise of things like the selection of a room color, type of furniture and home decoration objects. This further involves the arrangement and completion of home decoration objects, furniture, window treatments and fixtures.

How to get a good interior decorator?

Know your personal style and plan on what you want:

Deciding about your likes and dislikes makes it easier for you to get a good decorator. Create a list of your likes, dislikes and the patterns for your home decoration along with pictures from magazines and books if possible. Further efforts like touring modern homes which are generally decorated by reputed decorators will help too. Various modern interior decorators decorate homes and showcase them for awareness.

A little help from home decor magazines will also help in knowing myriad decorating aesthetics, products and techniques. You can portray your personal taste through the home decor paper clippings from the industry magazines. Other sources like home design television shows and online websites can also be referred for ideas.

Have a budget:

It is wise that you plan a budget and avoid any alterations later on. Meet the interior decorator by keeping in mind your decided budget. However, choose a budget range based on the goal to be accomplished, the spaces to be decorated and the decorative to be added. You should choose a decorator who can work with your budget.

Interviewing/interacting with many decorators:

One can find their desired decorator through various sources; it can be through word-of-mouth, through online directories, referrals or agencies. Make a list of the shortlisted decorators you would like to interview.

Ensure that you interview the decorator about his/her personal aesthetics and ask them to describe about their ideal design aesthetics. Although most of the decorators can decorate in a wide variety of styles, it is better that you hire a decorator whose personal tastes are similar to yours.

Check their portfolios of their past projects to get an idea about the decorator’s personal style and versatility. Interview the developer about the project length and explain him/her about what you want within the given deadline.

Ask the decorator about the task plans, the type of work to be contracted out, the kind of payment methods and so on. Proceed with the decorator if you are satisfied with all the complete information.

Check the references:

An interior decorator’s quality can be gauged by considering people’s opinion where he/she has already worked. There are also professional services which can provide you with the reference contacts. Before contacting people for their opinion about the decorator, ensure that the reference guarantees the desired aesthetic appeal to be completed before as per the deadline and the budget. Ask for the decorator’s work ethics, if he/she was self-motivated or action-oriented.

Lastly, ensure that the decorator you hire works well with the personality traits and is flexible to work with along with qualities like attention to detail, open to ideas, easy accessibility and good interaction.
