The Interior Design gurus at My Bespoke Room have given all the insider secrets about how a designer can add value to your home.

From saving you money when decorating, to boosting the value when it comes to selling, there are so many reasons why working with a designer is a great investment!

And don’t just take it from us, take it from one of our clients: “I could not have done the same without her help. The design packages from my bespoke room are competitively priced and provide good value. It was exactly the service we were after!”

Avoiding costly mistakes

Many of our clients turn to us after realising they've made some, well, let's call them 'pricey pitfalls' and want to hire an Interior Designer to ensure not another penny is wasted.

For example, buying pricey furniture that doesn’t fit the size or style of the room, investing in flooring that doesn’t suit your home’s vibe or installing a kitchen with a totally non functional layout.

When working with an Interior Designer, every product they recommend has been meticulously thought out, ensuring that everything visually works together, is practical and will fit in your space.

Plus, at My Bespoke Room, we offer you a range of alternative products with differing budgets, so you can choose where to save and splurge with the confidence that everything will work effortlessly together. Check out some of our example projects and shopping lists, here.

Sourcing pieces that stand the test of time

There’s nothing worse than buying a luxury dining table which already shows wear and tear after 6 months, or buying a trendy armchair only to realise it’s so last year before even breaking it in.

By hiring a designer, you can say goodbye to buyer's remorse! They will create a space that stands the test of time and grows with you. We’re talking products that age like fine wine, staying chic and sturdy through every mealtime mishap and passing fad.

At My Bespoke Room, our designers spend time getting to know you, your family and your home so they can create a timeless space that outlives any trend and will work for you for years to come.

Access to exclusive discounts

Many Interior Designers will offer you exclusive discounts on products they recommend, meaning you save money when shopping through them.

Psst, that includes us! At My Bespoke Room, we offer exclusive discounts of up to 25% as well as other ways to save such as a price match promise and a £100 shopping voucher thrown in with every Room Design package!

We’ve built hundreds of partnerships with the very best furniture suppliers who prioritise quality and value - every product we recommend is one that our designers would happily have in their own homes! 

Therefore, by shopping furniture through your designer not only will you have the confidence that everything will look great together, but you're also snagging the best possible price.

Creating a more energy efficient home

Not everything that an Interior Designer does is about aesthetics - they can actually help to optimise your home to make it more energy efficient and save you some money.

By recommending window treatments that insulate against the elements, maximising natural light, swapping out old bulbs for energy-efficient LEDs, and opting for sustainable materials, they're helping you create a home that's both eco-friendly and budget-friendly!

So while they're busy making your space look amazing, they're also quietly working behind the scenes to keep your energy costs in check.

Creating space without extending

Feeling a bit cramped in your space, but hesitant about the cost of an extension?

Don’t worry, an Interior Designer isn’t just about making things pretty; they're experts at maximising your space and making it feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove of roominess.

By optimising layouts and suggesting innovative storage solutions a designer can work their magic to make your space feel downright spacious - saving you money with no pricey extensions required!

Guiding you through large renovation projects

My Bespoke Room: kitchen renovation transformed from living room - after

Your designer is like your trusty sidekick throughout a renovation project, making sure everything goes off without a hitch and adding extra value to your extension! 

With one of our bespoke packages, they'll take a close look at those architectural plans, helping you decide if the new space is just what you need and brainstorming clever layouts.

Worried your extension might feel too big or too small? Don't sweat it - with an Interior Designer in your corner, you're covered. They'll tweak those plans to ensure the space not only looks fab but also fits your lifestyle to a tee, saving you from any costly slip-ups!

For example during the project above, one of our designers realised that the architect’s plans and the size of the dining table didn’t add up. We suggested increasing the extension at the dining room side by an extra metre to give them the space they needed to avoid any extension regrets. 

Making your home more attractive to buyers

When the time comes to put your home on the market, all the hard work your Interior Designer put in is sure to pay off! 

A beautifully presented home not only grabs buyers' attention right away but also helps them envision themselves living there.

With all that space being maximised with expert layouts and innovative storage, your home is sure to command a higher price tag.
