The 6 Benefits of Hiring an Interior Designer (That Might Surprise You!)
If you’ve ever wondered, "Why should I hire an interior designer?", you’re not alone.
Sure, Pinterest makes it look easy—but behind every swoon-worthy space is a designer dodging disasters, wrangling contractors, and sweating the small stuff so you don’t have to.
At Lark Interiors, we’re not just here to fluff pillows. We’re here to save you money, protect your time, and create a home that’s not just beautiful—but functional, cohesive, and uniquely yours.
Here’s a look at the real benefits of an interior designer (besides saving your marriage during a remodel).
We Save You Money (Yes, Really)
Hiring a designer sounds like a splurge, but our job is to prevent expensive mistakes—like buying a sofa that doesn’t fit (we’ve all been there) or realizing halfway through construction that the bathtub you ordered needs different plumbing.
How We Save You Money:
Planning ahead to avoid costly change orders (contractors love those, your bank account doesn’t).
Access to trade pricing and industry resources you won’t find online.
Making smart, marketable choices that increase your home’s value long-term.

2. We Save You Time (And Sanity)
Let’s be honest—choosing tile samples, answering endless contractor questions, and Googling what “fascia” means is a full-time job. Luckily, it’s ours.
How We Save You Time:
Streamlining decisions so you aren’t making 47 tiny choices every week.
Acting as your single point of contact, so you don’t have to juggle builders, painters, and that guy installing the light fixtures.
Managing the project from start to finish, keeping everything (and everyone) on track.
Want help managing your new home construction project? We do that, too.
3. We Design Spaces That Actually Work for You
Sure, you can put together a pretty room. But will it function perfectly for how you live? That’s where we shine.
Here’s What We Bring to the Table:
Expert space planning—even if you have a tricky corner fireplace or 15-foot ceilings.
Thoughtful layouts that work for your family, your lifestyle, and your dog (because we’re practical like that).
Insider knowledge on flow, furniture scale, and function that you just can’t Google.
4. We Have Access to the “Good Stuff”
Think of us as your golden ticket to the design world’s best-kept secrets. From trade-only furniture lines to custom artisans, we source pieces that elevate your home (and make it feel anything but cookie-cutter).
Why That Matters:
Your sofa won’t be the same one your neighbor just ordered online.
We’ve sat on 50 chairs to find the one that’s both stunning and comfortable. You’re welcome.
We know where to spend and where to save to maximize your investment.

5. We Pull It All Together for a Cohesive, Beautiful Result
Our clients often say, “I know what I like—I just don’t know how to pull it all together.” Well… we do. It’s kind of our thing.
The Result:
A space that feels intentional, cohesive, and uniquely you.
Color palettes, textures, and finishes that flow—room to room.
Zero awkward design moments like a farmhouse sink in a mid-century modern home (it happens).

6. We Help Increase Your Home’s Value
Design is an investment—and done well, it can pay off big when it’s time to sell. We design homes that photograph beautifully (hello, listing photos), feel timeless, and appeal to future buyers.
