8 Must-Ask Questions When Choosing an Interior Designer

Finding the Right Interior Designer: 8 Essential Questions to Ask.

Finding the right interior designer can make all the difference in bringing your vision to life. Before making a decision, ask these eight essential questions to ensure you choose the perfect fit for your home design project.

1. What is your design style, and does it align with mine?

Every designer has their own aesthetic. Some specialise in modern design, others in classic or eclectic styles. Look at their portfolio to see if their previous work resonates with your vision.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every project is tailored to reflect your unique style and needs, ensuring your home feels authentically yours. With experience across a wide range of design styles—from rustic farmhouse and eclectic to Scandinavian and modern contemporary—we create thoughtfully curated spaces that align perfectly with your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

2. What services do you offer, and what is included in your design packages?

Some designers offer full-service project management, while others provide consultations, space planning, or styling. Make sure their services match your needs.

We offer everything from 90-minute consultations to full-service interior design for new builds and renovations—covering concept development, material selection, and project coordination.

3. What is your process, and how do you collaborate with clients?

A clear design process ensures a smooth and stress-free experience. Ask how the designer communicates, presents ideas, and involves you in decision-making.

I believe in a collaborative approach where your vision and lifestyle guide the design process. I take the time to deeply understand your style, needs, and goals before curating a beautifully cohesive concept for your home. While I handle the decision-making to remove stress and overwhelm, trust is key—allowing me to create a space that is not only functional and stunning but also uniquely yours.

Your feedback is always encouraged because, at the end of the day, it’s your home, and it needs to reflect you. My process includes 3D visualisation, animated walkthroughs, and ongoing check-ins, so you’ll always feel confident in the journey and excited about the result.

4. What budget should I expect for my project?

Budget transparency is key to avoiding unexpected costs. Ask how they manage budgets and whether they can work within your financial limits.

We help you maximise your budget by sourcing the best pieces at trade prices and ensuring every dollar is spent wisely.

5. How do you help clients avoid costly mistakes?

Design errors can be expensive. A skilled interior designer should help you make informed choices, preventing regrets down the line. We use 3D modelling so you can see the final look before construction begins, ensuring total confidence in my design choices.

6. Do you have industry connections with suppliers and trades?

A well-connected designer can give you access to trade-only suppliers, premium materials, and skilled tradespeople—saving you time and money. We have strong industry connections that allow us to source high-end, hard-to-find pieces and introduce you to trusted builders and trades.

7. Can you provide client testimonials or examples of past work?

Seeing real client experiences will give you confidence in a designer’s ability to deliver great results. Our happy clients speak for themselves! Check out our portfolio and reviews to see our latest interior design projects and success stories.

8. What sets you apart from other interior designers?

Every interior designer has a unique approach. Ask what makes them different and why they’re the right fit for your project.

Our all-inclusive service means we handle everything from initial concept and selections to project management and final styling. With transparent pricing, personalised designs, and the ability to bring your dream home to life through 3D visualisation and animated walkthroughs, you’ll have complete confidence in your choices—before construction even begins.
