While many of us dream of living in a beautifully designed home, it’s a dream that isn’t always realised. In-between work, family and the stresses and strains of modern life, who has time to research and design the interior of their dreams?
Plus the idea of working out a colour scheme, buying new furniture, re-fitting fixtures and repainting our home makes many feel a little dizzy at the amount of work involved. Worse is the thought that after all that work we won’t be satisfied with the results.
The obvious solution to these issues is to hire an interior designer. However, how do we communicate our thoughts and unique sense of style to an interior designer? How can we be sure that the interior design is a good fit for our home and for our unique aesthetic?
The Golden Pages have teamed up with Norton Bespoke – one of Ireland’s most talented interior designers – to give you a list of three questions you should ask your designer before you hire them.

Question #1: Can you Work with My Budget?
This is an extremely important question to ask. A designer comfortable working within the confines of your budget means all designs and ideas will be created with a defined cost in mind.
To get the absolute most out of your first meeting with an interior designer, we recommend you have a clear idea of what your budget is before that first meeting or phone call.
Question #2 How long will the project take?
This is particularly important if you are having a commercial space designed. As you’ll need to know if the design and installation schedule will harm your business’s planned opening/reopening or if you will need to close your business for a length of time during an installation.
Question #3: How would you describe your signature style?
It’s important, that your sense of style meshes with your designer’s. A client and designer with a similar aesthetic will likely have a much smoother working relationship.
The above is just how to begin a conversation with an interior designer. If you are looking for more detail we recommend getting in contact with Norton Bespoke today.
