Revamping the office space is an essential step that keeps your brand current and ensures a good first impression. However, finding an interior design professional to help with the change isn’t always easy. Luckily, it’s simple to narrow down your choices. Knowing what questions to ask could help you find the perfect fit.

What to Ask a Commercial Interior Designer

How do you feel about client involvement?

It’s difficult to finalize design plans when you’re cut out of the project completely. Ensuring that the designer is willing to allow customer involvement could simplify the process. It lets you see how things are progressing and provides an opportunity to supply input when last-minute decisions have to be made. If you’re looking to be involved, make it clear in the beginning.

What would you say defines the style and functionality of the space?

Do you have an overall budget in place?

Office improvement projects tend to have a tight budget, which can increase the difficulty of acquiring new materials. Designers who are well informed of the financial parameters of your project will help in selecting the appropriate materials that are within your budget. They’ll lay out the entirety of the project and tally up the figures before going out to secure the materials for all the upgrades.

What’s your projected time frame?

Knowing when they plan to complete the project is essential. The designer might be working on multiple projects at the same time, which could affect the end date for your own. If it doesn’t line up the way you hoped it would, it’s probably best to discuss further with the designer and material manufacturers what would be an acceptable timeline.  Oftentimes material delivery is dictated by many factors that are not within the designer’s control.
