Finding the right Interior Designer – look at their Process, not just their pictures

360 Design Studio has completed a number of residential, corporate and commercial projects. We believe the following go a long way towards identifying the right Interior Designer for your project:

1/ Don’t dive straight into aesthetics – expert Interior Designers always start by mapping clients' daily requirements and understanding their vision for the space. Then they create bespoke layouts and designs that address every need, and focus on every detail - no matter how small - like the direction a door opens.

2/ Don't give you a low quote – this is a common tactic to get the job. Experienced Interior Designers understand the value and expertise they are bringing to the table, and are transparent in the breakdown of their fees. While they may cost more upfront, remember that the most expensive design is the one you have to do twice.

3/ Don't focus only on making the space Instagram-able – experienced Interior Designers know a successful project balances form (aesthetics) with functionality. They maximise every inch of space and focus on every detail, no matter how small.

4/ Don't Focus only on overhead lighting – experienced Interior Designers start by studying the orientation of your space to see how much natural light it receives. Then they layer all 3 types of lighting - ambient, task, and accent - to support your activities, create depth and atmosphere. So your space looks its best and functions well day or night.

5/ Don't Create a “showroom” – great Interior Designers use colours and textures to inject personality and create interest in your space. They understand how every element works together to look cohesive without being bland or boring.

6/ Don't give you a clear schedule for the work – experienced Interior Designers will give you detailed timelines with built-in buffers for the inevitable surprises that come with any project.
