Home renovations: why hiring both an architect and an interior designer gets the best results
An ability to visualise space, light, and colour is paramount for making the most of the space in your home. Architects and interior designers work together to create a design that not only makes the best use of the space but incorporates your taste and personality into every element.
If you want to create a dream home that’s both beautiful and practical, then we recommend hiring both an architect and an interior designer for the best results. Here’s why:
An architect can revolutionise your home renovation plans
Hiring an architect can completely change the course of your home refurbishment. A good architect can visualise how different layouts can transform the space you have, making it work with your taste and budget. Playing with light, space, and maximising storage are all part of the job. You may just be surprised by what they can do to improve your home.
Moving a wall, removing a wall, making a room larger, adding bigger windows, or even changing the purpose of a room… these are just a few examples of how they can begin to transform your home.
A great architect will have a vision and talk you through their ideas to see what will or won’t work with your taste. If they work together with an interior designer then they can coordinate on the final finish to create a cohesive design that ticks all of your boxes.
The final design touches are just as important as the structure of the building
Interior designers are experts at using space wisely - not only do they make your home look amazing but they think of the practical side, too. Tell them what’s important to you so they can incorporate it into their design and watch as each room is transformed.
An interior designer will be able to use the elements created by the architect to enhance the beauty of the space. They think of everything, from light and reflection to colour schemes, to soft furnishings, to which way the sofa should face—the list goes on.
Architects and interior designers have the vision, builders and engineers make it happen
Once a design is perfect and ready to go, builders are fully briefed to make the vision of your perfect family home a reality.
