Myth About Interior Design: Is it Really Costly?
The biggest hurdle to overcome in designing your dream home is making sure that every step is completed within its due time. This means that piling of the ground must be done thoroughly before the construction can be started. Once the construction has begun, it must be completed in phases, making sure enough time is taken in between stages to ensure that the final structure that stands is not only strong and durable, but it can withstand the toughest natural calamities and hazards like fires. After the entire structure and its interiors have been built ( with the final layer of masonry done), all that remains is interior design. Do we really know the actual cost of interior designing in Bangladesh? Can it be done within a limited budget and timeframe?
These days, there are people who hire interior designers or architects for professional interior designing expertise in their space. While many people claim that interior designing costs an arm and a leg, that does not always have to be the case. In order to make the most of your session with an interior designer (solo) or a firm, you need to know the steps involved in the entire process, and what you have to do at each turn.
When you choose a firm, you must then book your time for the first consultation. Keep in mind that renowned firms and designers will charge higher rates more often than not. If you know somebody who does professional interior design and is good at it, you could talk to them with your ideas – that way their prices might be less than if you went for a highly distinguished firm. Some of the factors that affect the cost of an interior design project is the size of the space to be designed, the complexity & the type of design, type of finish (higher quality will mean higher cost), and the time duration of the project, as well as the number of workers needed for the project to be completed.
If you are trying to work within a limited budget, focus on a few main areas of your home, using local materials where possible to minimize costs. Repurpose & upcycle old furniture and household items to use in and around your home. The main thing is that you need to clearly communicate your ideas, vision, budget and timeline with your interior consultant – if your basic ideas align, only then should you move forward with the project. The interior designer you choose should not only be great at their work, but they should also get along well with you. In this case, communication is key.
