Tips for choosing an interior design studio

Finding the right interior design studio for you has never been easier

If you want to give an office, hotel, restaurant or retail space a whole new look, getting the best interior design studio on board is key. Interior design experts can help you achieve a functional, aesthetic design that works for your business. Here are our 7 essential tips to guide you through the decision-making process:

Think about your design requirements from the start

Before you contact any interior design professionals, you need to be clear on your design style. Would you prefer a modern, minimalist, industrial or classic style…? What image do you want to project to your customers? Remember the old adage, “you only get one chance to make a good first impression”. Adapt the design to your goals.
You need to know exactly what you want to achieve. Are you looking for a full refurbishment or a more simple redesign of specific spaces?

Check their previous projects

A portfolio is an interior design studio’s business card. Take a good look through it and assess the style, creativity and quality of their work, making sure it’s a good fit for your vision. Their portfolio will give you a good idea of their experience working in different types of spaces, and you can check their customers are satisfied. When you check through a portfolio, it gives you the confidence to make an informed decision, ensuring the studio is the right fit for your needs.

Quote and lead times

If you want to avoid any shocks along the way, getting a clear and detailed quote from the interior design studio is key, guaranteeing your investment is planned well. A good quote should include a breakdown of costs, materials, lead times and potential contingencies. It’s not just about cost control – it also ensures a level of trust and transparency in the process. Choosing an interior design solutions company that offers a detailed quote is a must if you want to avoid setbacks.

Materials and sustainability in design

If sustainability matters to you, ask about environmentally friendly materials and responsible interior design practices.

Using sustainable materials in interior design goes beyond reducing your environmental impact – they add warmth and personality to spaces. Options like FSC certified wood, bamboo, organic paint (free from toxic compounds) and organic textiles give you the power to create healthy and harmonious settings. Plus, recycled and recyclable materials like glass, metal or reused plastics all promote the circular economy and minimise waste. A commitment to sustainable interior design is a commitment to a more responsible, environmentally conscious future.

Contracts and legal matters

Always make sure contracts are in place, clearly specifying the terms and conditions, costs and service guarantees.
