When is the best time to sign a contract with an interior designer?

06 of October '23

Singing a contract with an interior designer even six months before receiving the keys? Definitely yes! Check out why you should start cooperation as early as possible.

Priceless time

- Whether we're talking about a house or an apartment, the answer is the same. As early as possible - says interior designer Agnieszka Świderek of Deer Design studio.

From the architect's perspective, interior design is an extremely valuable time for both parties, the architect and the client.

- It is not only a process of creation, supported by experience and knowledge of the products and also length and schedule of orders and deliveries, but above all a time of getting to know the client's needs and lifestyle and entering into a deep, creative relationship with him - explains Agnieszka Świderek.

Consequently, the earlier an interior designer has the opportunity to enter the design process, the better for the final result.

A design that meets your needs

Starting to work with an architect even six months before getting the keys to an apartment is one of the best decisions you can make in the process of furnishing your own space. It's a decision that will help you to plan the interior optimally. Then you can calmly discuss various design options and plan changes in the installation or layout of rooms.

- In the case of a house, the interior designer can influence the body of the building, responding to the individual needs of the client. On the other hand, if you are furnishing an apartment, the designer is able to plan and make tenant changes in the arrangement of partitions or installations, which will still be done by the developer, not the finishing team, which saves not only time, but also money - the designer warns.

Early preparations

Ordering materials and products at an early stage of cooperation is a guarantee that everything will be ready according to plan. This is especially important when choosing products with longer waiting periods. By working with an architect in advance, you can avoid unnecessary stress and enjoy your new apartment as soon as you pick it up. Just a few months before you pick up your apartment, you can also calmly prepare visualization and moodboards. This is the time when, together with the architect, you can experiment with different design options, choose colors, materials and textures and make changes until you get the best result. This will ensure that every square meter of your dream space is carefully considered and customized. In this way, you will bring out the maximum potential from the space within the budget and save yourself from costly mistakes. An interior architect is also a logistician and construction manager. By working together in advance, you can plan all the work together, and special orders, such as glazing or non-standard solutions, will be implemented under the watchful eye of an expert, avoiding unnecessary complications at a later stage of the project.

Certainty and guarantee

When you sign a contract with an interior designer before you take delivery of your apartment, you can be sure that the organization of the transportation of materials, including difficult-to-deliver items such as natural stone and large-format quartz sinters, will be perfectly organized. Everything will be delivered safely and according to plan. As a result, the process of decorating the space will go smoothly and without problems.
