Home interiors is a high-value and low-frequency purchase, and according to our research, most homeowners in Singapore get their interiors done only from trusted designers and firms. That statistic tells a lot about how the decision is made very carefully and after extensive research. So, if you’re wondering why you must choose Livspace interior design company as your renovation partner over other options, we can give not one, but 215 different reasons!

But first, do you know how many quality checks your furniture and other fittings go through when you purchase them? Instead of running around trying to fix things after the renovation is done, it is always better to get the best people to do those checks for you before your home is handed over. But it is also important to know what qualities you should be hunting for in your interior designer. Because, if you have the right designer, they will understand your needs and ensure that you get the best. Let us tell you more about this as you read on.

What are the best qualities of an interior designer?

An interior designer should be able to collaborate with you

Once a building is constructed, the designer is called on to furnish and accessorise the empty interiors. They do so keeping in mind the needs, lifestyle, preferences and budget of their client. Details like selecting materials, furniture, wall designs, colour schemes, accessories and more fall within the scope of the designer. Therefore, an ideal interior designer must be able to:

  • Discuss and understand the needs and lifestyle of the clients
  • Prepare a carefully thought-out design plan after discussions
  • Propose a tentative budget plan to the clients
  • Change/modify their designs according to the budget or preferences of the client
  • Source all the material, and work with carpenters and installers
  • In addition, focus on details like furniture, wall design, colour scheme, design style, kitchen layouts, flooring, lighting, furnishing, etc., to create a living/work space

What qualities should you look out for when choosing furniture for your home?

Check the quality of furniture

When it comes to buying furniture for your home, it is very easy to follow the trends blindly. This can make you buy that fancy piece of furniture off the shelves. You can furnish and design your home with low-quality materials, but in the long run, it’s going to affect your finances. Regular upkeep and maintenance cost is going to burn a hole in your pocket. Also, who wants furniture that falls apart at the drop of a hat? When it comes to flooring, ceiling, walls, doors, bathroom fittings and fixtures and so on, you must remember that they should be free of joints, gaps, accessories defects and so on. But how can you ensure that? With Livspace interior design company, it is guaranteed. Let us tell you how.
