As a full-service interior design firm, Wolfgang Interiors – Furniture, Draperies & Design understands the value of working with a professional interior designer and how that can benefit your project. However, we also understand that just like looking for any other expert, finding the right interior designer can be a challenging prospect. To help you find the right expert for your needs, in this article we’ll go over three qualities to look for in an interior designer.

What to Look for in an Interior Designer

  • Listening Skills. One of the key skills a good interior designer needs is strong listening skills. You’re hiring a designer to create a space that appeals to your tastes and meets your functional needs, so you clearly need someone who will listen to what those tastes and needs are. Here at Wolfgang Interiors – Furniture, Draperies & Design, we take the time to meet with all of our clients and learn what they’re looking for in a design, and we use this input throughout the project to create something truly special.

  • Creativity. Another thing you want your interior designer to have is creativity. This quality can be hard to define, but in this case, we’re using it to refer to a designer’s eye for color, scale, texture, and other visual elements, as well as their ability to plan for how a space will be used. Another big part of creativity is adapting to limitations–a skilled designer doesn’t need an extravagant budget to create a beautiful, practical space, but instead can rely on their creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Versatility. The last quality that we at Wolfgang Interiors – Furniture, Draperies & Design will cover here is versatility. While some rare designers can pull off their signature style so well that they only attract clients who also want that look, in order to be successful most interior designers need a wide breadth of knowledge of different design styles and the ability to execute them well.
