Top 5 Signs You’re Ready to Hire an Interior Designer

5 signs to hire an interior designer

April Blog Post | Serenity Interiors | Appleton, WI

Have you ever found yourself staring at a room, feeling stuck—like you know it’s not quite working, but you have no idea how to fix it? You’re not alone. Whether you’re dreaming up your forever home or finally updating a space that’s been on your to-do list for years, there comes a point where hiring a professional just makes sense.

Here are 5 clear signs that you’re ready to bring in an interior designer (and trust me—your future self will thank you!).

1. You have a vision… but no idea how to execute it.

You’ve spent hours scrolling Pinterest and saving dreamy inspiration photos, but when it comes time to put it all together, it just doesn’t click. That’s where a designer steps in—we take your ideas and bring them to life in a way that’s cohesive, functional, and uniquely you.

2. Your remodel is starting to feel overwhelming.

Between managing contractors, picking materials, coordinating timelines, and staying on budget… it’s a lot. If your project has gone from exciting to exhausting, an interior designer can help project manage, keep things on track, and take the stress off your shoulders.

3. You’re investing in your home and want to do it right.

Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. If you’re renovating your kitchen, building a new home, or planning a big update, working with a designer ensures your money is being spent wisely—on pieces and finishes that last and a layout that truly works for your lifestyle.

4. Decision fatigue is very real.

Tile or hardwood? Brass or matte black? Bold or neutral? If you’ve found yourself second-guessing every choice, it’s a sign you need a guide. A designer helps you make confident decisions by narrowing options, providing expert insight, and designing with intention.

5. You want that “magazine-worthy” finish.

You know those spaces that just feel right? They’re warm, welcoming, and every little detail works together? That’s the magic of a designer. We know how to layer lighting, color, texture, and flow so your space not only looks beautiful—but feels like home.

So, is it time to bring in a designer?

If you nodded along to any of these signs, chances are you’re more than ready to partner with someone who can bring your vision to life—without the overwhelm.

Whether you’re dreaming up a bold new kitchen, refreshing your primary suite, or starting from the ground up, I’d love to help. Let’s turn your ideas into something stunning.

_Allison

"We hired Brittany to help us decorate our house that we had just moved into! She listened to our thoughts and style that we were looking for and made it all come to life. She had ideas for decor that we would have never chosen or found on our own but made it look amazing! Everything is timeless and we will love for years to come! We definitely plan to hire her again in the future for our decorating & interior design needs! Also she is SO easy to work with!"

-Joe and Angela

"Brittany is the most talented designer! She can bring any space to life! After moving in to our first house, we needed help. After talking with Brittany, she made us feel like we were in good hands. She listened to the basics of what we were going for, added her touch and did not disappoint! From bedrooms, to bathrooms and every space in between - she transformed our house from basic to a beautiful place we called home! We since sold our first home (which I should include - it sold in 4 days!) & moved into our second and guess who we called! Of course we called Brittany! If you’re looking for some help transforming your space or prepping your home to sell, she’s worth the call!"
