Busting misconceptions about luxury interior design

Wednesday, 8th September 2021

We've been in the luxury interior design business since 2004, and in all those years of experience we've come across many misconceptions about interior design that are simply outdated. 

One of the main misconceptions about interior designers we want to address is that they're expensive. At Caroline Gardner Design, we have a wealth of different products to choose from, which allows us to completely tailor any design scheme to any realistic budget requirements you have. We can discuss these budgets and targets upfront such as during the free consultation we offer.

Enlisting the services of a professional, experienced interior designer, such as us at Caroline Gardner Design, can save you money as we know how to avoid making expensive mistakes that you would otherwise regret. We've been through the personal journey of building our own dream home, so we've been there, done that, and can help you avoid mistakes we've made ourselves. This includes saving you from buying the wrong size and scale of furniture, and ensuring we design a room with electrics and utilities in the right places first time in order to facilitate the final design scheme.

Another misconception we're busting is that interior design is ‘fluffy’, and that we just 'play around with' colours and fabrics. This one could not be further from the truth and these kind of jobs tend to be more of an interior decorators job in their areas of expertise. 

Our job as an interior designer is far more involved and hands on in terms of complexity; from interior architecture, spatial planning, furniture and soft furnishing design, sourcing, specifying and ordering, to full project management - we organise and coordinate all trades. 

Your home is probably the single biggest purchase in your lifetime and we’re here to add quality, value and ultimately enhance your investment. If you want a professional yet personal luxury interior design service to help create your dream home, look no further than Caroline Gardner Design.
