The design of your workspace can affect how relaxed or productive you and your employees feel. An interior designer uses their training and skills to bring your corporate or home office vision to life. Interiors by Steven G. is an established interior design firm located in South Florida that delivers timeless luxury. Here are six benefits of hiring interior designers for commercial or office spaces:

1. Professional Assessment

Interior designers spend years training to identify how to best utilize a space. They are experts in understanding how to use color, texture, shape, and light to enhance indoor areas. Hiring an interior designer means you’ll have someone who can envision your project from the beginning. During the initial assessment, a designer will ask questions to get a sense of your needs and style and then make functional and decorative recommendations based on their expertise. They may see design possibilities you missed and determine if your ideas are feasible.

2. Experienced Project Manager

If you attempt to handle an interior or commercial design project yourself, you must also act as the general contractor. An interior designer takes on this time-consuming and decision-heavy position to help you minimize your project-related stress. An interior design firm handles all the day-to-day administrative tasks, project planning, budgeting, and communication with contractors. They also oversee the installation process. Full-service design firms, like Interiors by Steven G., are experienced in construction management and know how to make decisions and delegate tasks effectively for large and small projects.

3. Quality Contacts and Resources

Interior designers have a network of tradespeople and companies they know are reliable. Designers work with many contractors during their careers and form professional relationships with the ones they are most impressed with. These are some of the craftsmen that design firms may collaborate with:

  • Architects: On custom builds and commercial projects, designers and architects work together to create a solid foundation for the designer.
  • Engineers: Mechanical and civil engineers determine the placement of utilities and major appliances.
  • Landscapers: These specialists work with designers to create outdoor spaces that match the interior aesthetic.
  • Artisans: Designers maintain relationships with local artists and craftsmen to create custom pieces that fit the style of homes or commercial spaces.

Working with an interior designer means you are working with an entire team of high-quality, skilled contacts. Finding craftsmen through your designer’s network helps you avoid working with inexperienced contractors whose work may be of lower quality. Interiors by Steven G. has a network of contractors we rely on for renovation and remodel projects to make sure the work is done correctly and in line with budget and time expectations.

4. Create an Optimized Space

Space planning is a skill interior design teams use to make a room feel open and clutter-free. It involves identifying storage opportunities and creating walkways for optimal traffic flow. Well-executed space planning can make an office space more efficient and inviting. This is beneficial for larger commercial spaces, as it helps employees and customers feel welcome and comfortable moving through the room. Experienced designers zone the space for each job to make sure the results are custom and match the client’s goals.

5. Improve Function and Efficiency

A functional and efficient office space means the room suits your needs and makes completing tasks easier. Designers evaluate your workflows and company culture to create a logical layout, pick furniture that matches the room’s activities, and pick lighting to complement its function. They’ll also choose colors and fabrics that match the space’s needs, such as stain-resistant upholstery or desks with built-in storage. Creating a functional space requires balancing furniture, decor, and focal points to draw attention to the right areas. It’s less about style preferences and more about effectively applying the principles of space, color, and light. Our experienced designers will conceptualize a plan to create a space that flows well and still feels customized.
