Why Work with an Interior Designer?

Is your home not where you want it to be? Do you need some ideas, some resources and some help?

I'm McKenna Scheppele, owner of Style It Studio, and I am here to tell you why hiring an interior designer is so important. First things first, would you ask a baseball player how to throw a football? Would you ask your dentist to take a look at a sore throat? Would you go to a coffee shop and ask them to make you a juice? Of course not, that's not their expertise! I can't speak for all designers, but here at Style It Studio we spend tons and tons of time learning new trade products, continuing our education and making sure we are up to date on the latest and greatest materials. That's what so awesome about hiring an interior designer and why it's worth every penny. Let's get a little deeper and talk about some specifics.

Let's talk stone. Do you know the difference between quartz and quartzite? Do you know the durability of marble? Do you know the strength of porcelain? Probably not, and that's okay! If you're out shopping and you ask a sales assistant for help, they might know some stuff, but they won't understand its beauty, why it's perfect for your family and why it will enhance the presence and value of your home. We study materials so we know how it will best fit into your lifestyle while giving you the high end look, or comfortable look or the perfectly simple look that you desire.

How about where to shop? Do you want the same thing that every other person in your neighborhood has? Or, do you want a custom high end looking piece that is one of a kind? At Style It Studio, we have a variety of vendors that we love to shop with where you can sit, touch and really feel out the sofa, bench, dining chair or rug that you want to purchase. The reps are knowledgeable and are there every step of the to ensure you are getting exactly what you want. Do you want to see a few other fabric options for the swivel chair? Perfect, we will show you many, many options that you wouldn't see in a big box store.

Have you ever completed a project and thought to yourself, "wow, that didn't turn out how I thought it would". Never again when you're working with Style It Studio. We source materials and create vision boards. We will lay out colors, textures and patterns so that you are getting the exact look you want for your space. Once we have materials picked out, we will bring everything together in a 3D rendering so that you can see how it will all look in the end. There is nothing worse than spending time and hard earned money on a project that you don't love!

We love the people we work with! Our contractors, flooring installers, painters and handymen are ones that we work with over and over because we trust them, know they do amazing work and will always show up on time. Trying to find a contractor is a hassle, getting them over to your house is an even bigger hassle and not knowing when the start date will happen is just plain stressful. Forget all that! Style It Studio will handle all the details of what a project entails in order to run smoothly and be complete in a timely fashion.

I could go on and on about why hiring a designer is a great investment. Style It Studio will take on the management, sourcing and handling of workers so that you don't have to! Let's update your space so that you can enjoy time with your family, host your friends and relax!
