5 Reasons Hiring an Interior Designer Is the Smartest Choice You’ll Make on Your Remodel

Many homeowners start a remodel thinking, “We’ve got Pinterest and a contractor—how hard can it be?”
The truth? Design is about far more than picking paint colors and pretty finishes. A skilled interior designer brings structure, clarity, and confidence to what can easily become an overwhelming—and expensive—process.

If you want your remodel to feel seamless, look elevated, and add long-term value to your home, here are 5 reasons working with a designer is one of the best investments you can make:

1. A Roadmap, Not Just a Moodboard

Remodels have dozens of moving parts—and without a clear plan, it’s easy to get lost. An interior designer doesn’t just bring your vision to life—they create the framework that guides every decision, timeline, and trade.

Instead of backtracking or reordering materials mid-project, you get a streamlined path from Point A to Point Z—with fewer detours, delays, and headaches along the way.

Project Management keeps a project running smoothly and safely!

2. A Vetted Network of Professionals

Behind every great remodel is a team of skilled trades: electricians, plumbers, cabinet makers, tile setters—and the list goes on. Sourcing, vetting, and coordinating them all takes time (and a lot of trust).

Designers come with trusted relationships already in place. At Mavis Design, I only work with pros who consistently deliver high-quality results, so you’re not rolling the dice on who shows up to your home.

Interior and exterior projects often require many different tradespersons to create your dream space!

3. Sourcing That Saves Your Sanity

There are literally thousands of tile options that look nearly identical—and wildly vary in price and quality. Instead of falling into a decision-making spiral, a designer curates selections that align with your style, budget, and function.

Think of it like this: rather than 3 hours lost to tile research, you get 2 perfect options hand-picked for your home.

Sourcing materials can be overwhelming, but designers know how to sort through them all for you!

4. Your Advocate from Start to Finish

Designers are your creative partner and your project advocate. When challenges pop up (and they will), you have someone in your corner—ready to problem-solve, pivot, and protect the vision you worked so hard to create.

It’s more than just picking finishes. It’s collaborative, full-picture support that ensures the end result feels like you.

Designers have your best interests in mind and advocate for your needs!

5. Better Design = Better Return

A well-designed home doesn’t just look good—it’s built to last, live beautifully, and add real resale value. By making strategic, quality-driven choices from the start, your project becomes an investment that pays off in both everyday enjoyment and long-term equity.

A well-designed home is a valuable one.
