How to choose the right interior designer

Hiring an interior designer can be a bit like dating, bear with me here!

On large projects I can spend several months working with my clients, communicating regularly (and sliding into each other’s DMs with creative ideas!) On a serious note, hiring a designer does require trust, understanding, and a connection that means you are on the same wavelength.

The design process itself can be emotional. I get it entirely, your home is your save haven, and change can be a roller-coaster of excitement, overwhelm, and happiness. But I’m here with you each step of the way on the journey.

Choosing the right interior designer for your project is crucial. Which is why your initial consultation is a great opportunity to feel confident that the designer you are hiring is going to be the right fit for you and your home to bring your vision to life.

Here’s some things to think about before you take your first steps into your own design journey…

🤍 Budget

Consider your budget and be clear about how much you are willing to invest. When clients are open about budgets, I’m able to tailor my services to suit them.⁠

⁠

🤍 Vision

Take the time to understand your own style preferences and the vision you have for your space. As an interior designer I will help you bring these to life as well as bringing in new ideas, but having an idea of the style you like helps greatly in producing an outcome you're happy with!⁠

🤍Communication

Is key. I pride myself in being able to understand your needs, offer professional advice, and address any concerns you may have.

Tash completed a redesign across our home, working with some existing furniture we wanted to keep. The house feels so cosy & warm now, & I have some lovely pieces of furniture!

We can't thank Tash enough. Her eye for design, combined with her understanding of our needs and limitations was key. The first stage of our renovations have been received so well and we look forward to working with Tash again to complete phase two

I would highly recommend working with SHD, Tash has a fantastic eye for detail and creates stunning spaces with her unique designs to make your property stand out from the crowd. Tash's communication is brilliant, keeping you informed at every stage of the process!

We are a short term rental management company based in Cambridge, we needed fast property staging and room planning. Styled Home Design exceeded our expectations, the photography has resulted in a very profitable launch. Our guests love the design. Natasha was so easy to work with, she translated my ideas into amazing room designs. We will continue to work together
