10+ Key Questions to Ask an Interior Designer

4. What is your Home Design Project Process?

The common interior design process involves an initial consultation, during which the designer will listen to your vision for your space and tell you how best they can make it happen. The next part is planning, during which the design is made visual so that you will be able to see the final outcome and make changes if you need to. Once the design is approved, the third part would be selecting materials. Then comes the site work and installation before your home is ready to be handed over.

However, each interior designer will have their own process when it comes to their work. Some of them may prefer having an initial meeting to get to know the client, another may want to check out the space first, yet another may want to talk about the cost. Finding out the interior designer’s process will help you get to know how they work.
 

6. How Involved will I be in the Home Interior Design Process?

This is your home and it is natural to want to be involved in every part of the design process. Interior designers may tell you that you will be completely involved in the project from start to finish but how do you know that they will keep their promise?

During your initial meeting, you will get a good idea of how communicative and attentive to your requirements the designer is. If you have a good rapport and you can visualise working with them, that is a good foundation to build on. If you are talking at cross purposes from the beginning and they are either not listening to or getting what you need, cut them loose right away.
 

7. What Builders, Interior Architect, Contractors and Brands have you Worked with Before?

This is an important question as it gives you an insight into what kind of network and contacts the designer has. This can translate into you getting a good discount for materials as well as ensuring quality material.
