Question- 

I am curious, what would you say to people who say paying an interior designer is an unnecessary expense? How do you convince them? Why should someone spend the extra money if they could just do things themselves? I have an appreciation for interior designers, I’m not trying to discourage you nor knock your hustle. I see how the market has really taken off, especially in high end luxury homes. I’m just trying to get you to explain why your services should be part of a middle class home owner’s budget? Why should this be considered a reasonable expense?  Who knows, maybe your explanation could stimulate someone’s interest in the service.

Answer- I think this has to do with your mentality sir. Just like some set of people believe a pregnant woman walking at night could give birth to a certain kind of child so do alot of people believe in so many things that isn't adequately correct.

I am a budget interior decorator. In our company Clients determines the budget not us speaking for myself. Our job comes with a detailed understanding of what to expect before we even get paid. It's an agreement between both parties and we always exceed the Client's expectations because that's the beauty of it all . And I can bet it with you, no matter how well you think you know how to shop you can never achieve what I would achieve given any budget in terms of quality, style, design, creativity, ambiance etc. Don't be deceived by what you think you know. How can you beat a professional that doesn't this for a living.

Interior Decorators are meant to give more for the value of any budget because we deal directly with Importers and merchants who definitely gives us more discounts because of our continued patronages. Atleast that's how it's meant to be. Some of us are direct Importers who imports in bulks and that comes at a more affordable values. They help you achieve you dream Interior just as you want it but doing it much more professionally.


If you employ an Interior Decorator and the services render is lesser than the value of the money given then you as a person hasn't done your assignment well in selecting a professional in handling your interior. You know there are many jobless Nigerian posing themselves as different professionals like makeup artist, models, contractors, real estate professionals etc. So we also have alot of jobless people calling themselves Interior decorator who doesn't know the drills or have the necessary skillsets or passion that come with this profession. And also alot of people want to follow names, I think that also happens all over the world. They want to say so so professional designed my home. If you want such professional influences and sentiments it also comes at a price. If you want a genuine passion influenced, talented and skilled Interior designer to handle your interior we have 100s of us in Nigeria even with international trainings. Please do well to identify one and work with them on your next project.

And moreover alot of people just assume all these things. Have you ever engaged the services of an Interior Decorating Professional and they under delivered?. Or it's just something you have stuck in your head as we all do as Nigerians, jump into conclusions because we think we know it all even without taking time to read or study about such things?.

A lot of people too expect magic when they don't give much because they are dealing with a professional. If you fall into such category you will always be disappointed because it's what you give that you get. You don't expect them to use their money to help in decorating your interior, do you?.
