Choosing an interior designer is both a creative and a practical decision. You are selecting someone whose work you value and whose approach suits the way you want to develop your project.
Review completed projects and concepts similar to your own needs. Look beyond the overall style: consider layouts, materials, storage, lighting and the attention given to everyday use.
Ask what is included in the proposal. Concept design, drawings, visualisations, furniture sourcing, procurement and site visits are different services. A clear written scope helps everyone understand responsibilities and deliverables.
Share your priorities and any fixed deadlines early. Separate the design fee from furniture, materials, construction and specialist costs. Supplier availability and contractor schedules can influence the programme.
Find out how decisions are presented, how feedback is handled and which stages need your approval. Good communication matters as much as a shared aesthetic.
Testimonials can help you understand the experience of working together. Where appropriate, ask about the designer’s role in the projects you are reviewing.For a project in Athens or an online design brief, contact AnnaIv Interiors to discuss your space, priorities and the support you need.
