Will my interior designer get angry if I want to buy my own furniture?
Are you considering enlisting the services of an interior designer but are worried about having to purchase a room or house full of furniture and accessories all at once? At Brooke Bundy Designs, we believe that interior design should be a flexible process, tailored to your needs and preferences. Today we want to address a common concern: that your interior designer will get angry if you want to buy your own furniture.
The short answer is no, your interior designer won't get angry (we won’t anyway!), and here's why.
Our Design Approach
Interior design is a deeply personal process. Our primary goal is that after we have worked together, your space will reflect your unique style, personality, and life experiences. We want your home to remind you of everything you love about your life so that when you are home, you feel your absolute best. Because of that focus, our client’s ability to purchase everything we recommend in the design is very important to us, because each piece has been carefully chosen to connect with something personal to them. Purchasing so many furniture and décor items all at once isn’t something everyone is prepared to do however, and we have created our services with those clients in mind.
Budget Considerations
One of the primary reasons clients may want to purchase their own furniture is budgetary constraints. High-quality furniture and decor items can be a significant investment, and not everyone is comfortable furnishing an entire room or home all at once. We understand that it might be more practical for you to space out your furniture purchases and gradually invest in pieces that you love.
At Brooke Bundy Designs, we believe in accommodating your financial preferences. You will get a detailed design that can be implemented in stages. This approach allows you to invest in high-quality furniture and decor pieces over time, rather than settling for lower-quality alternatives.
A Design Plan: Your Freedom to Execute at Your Own Pace
We've developed a unique service called a Design Plan that perfectly aligns with your desire to execute the design at your own pace. This service offers a flexible and comprehensive solution for you if you want to take a more active role in furnishing and decorating your home, while still benefiting from our expertise and guidance.
With a Design Plan, you'll receive a detailed design proposal that includes mood boards, color schemes, furniture recommendations, and layout plans. You also get a meeting with Brooke to talk through the design and answer any questions, and her support and guidance as you execute the plan.
The key features of a Design Plan include:
1. Customized Design Proposal
Brooke will create a design proposal tailored to your preferences, functionality needs, and answers to a detailed questionnaire that gives insights to things about your life that you would love to see highlighted in your home. This proposal will serve as a roadmap for your project, ensuring that the design aligns with your vision.
2. Detailed Recommendations
You will be provided with a list of recommended furniture and decor pieces, complete with links and specifications. This simplifies the decision-making process and ensures that you're making informed choices.
3. Flexibility in Implementation
Our Design Plan allows you the freedom to execute the design at your own pace. You can purchase and install items as your budget and timeline permit, all while staying true to the original design concept.
4. Expert Support
Throughout the execution process, Brooke will be available to answer any questions, offer guidance, and provide additional information as needed. We're here to support you every step of the way to make sure that your home’s design comes together as envisioned.
If you hire us, your interior designer will not get angry if you want to buy your own furniture.
It is important to us that your interior design experience is enjoyable and stress-free, and a big component of making the process less stressful is your ability to pace out your purchases to whatever timing works best for you. A Design Plan will give you a professionally designed home along with the freedom to execute the design at your own pace.
We hope you will schedule a free consultation with Brooke so we can learn more about your goals for your home and discuss how we can help!
