Why do you need a designer for decoration?
Modern interior design, as a new science, has a history of only a few decades, but with the rapid improvement of people's living standards and the increasing demand for comfortable, beautiful and efficient daily living environment, interior design has become a field that is more grounded than architectural design and closely related to people's daily life. Professional designers will lead owners to avoid detours, improve the value of houses and space efficiency, and greatly increase the happiness of living.

What is the value of a designer?
The basic needs of decoration are usually practical and beautiful. Generally speaking, owners have certain life experience and basic decoration concepts, and are basically capable of planning their own actual needs. The value of professional designers is that they can fully meet the practical needs, combine aesthetics, building structure, space utilization, engineering technology and surrounding environment, and create a multi-dimensional overall living environment that perfectly integrates the needs of all aspects.

Where can I find a home improvement interior designer?
There are three common channels:
1. decoration design company: this is the easiest way to find designers through stores or online platforms in the market. Generally, the project is accepted in the form of all-inclusive design and construction, that is to say, the design company is responsible for the design from design to occupancy. The phenomenon of mixed good and bad is also widespread, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan or even free, and the gap between high and low is wide. It is necessary for owners to identify and select design companies and designers.
2. Independent designer: Generally speaking, it is a designer or studio, taking a pure design route, with strong professional design ability, and generally does not involve marketing. However, the design fee has a certain threshold of 300-600 yuan per square meter, which is suitable for owners who have a certain budget space and pay attention to and pursue design, especially the use and transformation of small-sized houses and villas.
3. Factory designers: These designers are distributed in various material suppliers, such as whole house home design, main materials, customized furniture, etc. Some manufacturers also provide interior design or home soft decoration design services, but they will bind products for marketing, which is suitable for owners who have already selected home furniture and have low requirements for hard decoration.

How to choose a good designer?
Here, Jiumo Space Design objectively evaluates the conditions and abilities that an excellent designer needs, which is summarized as "the pirated code of designer 10".
1, design experience:
The owner should know whether the designer has enough design cases and rich experience, that is to say, the designer has a deep understanding and grasp of the owner's needs, and at the same time has the ability to predict and solve practical problems that may arise in interior design in advance.
2, creative ideas:
In the process of communication, it is not only the basic ability that designers should have, but also the direct standard to open the level gap between designers.
3. Cost control:
A responsible and experienced designer will not only understand the owner's aesthetic and functional needs at the beginning of design, but also combine the owner's budget, allocate the budget reasonably according to the needs of effect and function during design, and spend the money on the cutting edge. The designer's understanding of the process price of decorative materials will also be reflected in the economic, effective and reasonable design details.
4, professional technology:
It not only refers to the efficient use of professional knowledge system and design operation software, but also requires designers to keep pace with the times with new technologies, such as the understanding and application of scientific and technological smart home, the application of scientific and technological environmental protection decorative materials, the expression of spatial vision, and the handling of the relationship between acoustics, optics and spatial scale environment.
5, artistic personality:
The same streamlined design has no soul. Because of the pressure of performance and time constraints, it is often difficult for marketing designers to focus on the design itself, and patchwork prevails. Therefore, the designer's personality and artistic appreciation ability determine whether the designed home environment has the effect of "tailor-made, unique". He does whatever he wants, regardless of good or bad, feeling that it is a good service to the owner, but in fact it is irresponsible to the owner. A designer with personality is not necessarily good, but a good designer must have personality and pursuit!
6, professional ethics:
Design is a predictive work. The more detailed, the higher the controllability, and the more possible problems can be found or avoided. The designer's own professional ethics will definitely be projected to the design work itself. A good designer will make a reasonable prediction according to the design and site conditions, and choose the appropriate technological process, so as to achieve the effect of saving the owner's mind and effort in the decoration process.
7, cultural literacy:
Cultural literacy not only refers to academic background, but also refers to personal attainments and accomplishments in culture, art, life and quality, which plays a key role in the connotation and quality of design works. "Writing is like a person" is the truth, and the most essential difference and gap between marketing designers and high-quality designers lies here.
8, control ability:
Design is only a part of interior decoration engineering, and it also involves many follow-up cooperation projects such as material selection, logistics, construction, installation and protection. The designer's ability to control the whole project must be directly reflected in the degree of restoration and presentation of the design works. When choosing a designer, we should consider the coordination and control ability between the designer and the contractor, such as whether the construction team is owned or outsourced, the understanding of the construction team, and the clear understanding and control ability of various types of work, processes and construction nodes on site.
9. Global environment:
From the design point of view, each designer's creative starting point will be different, but whether he can take into account the overall environment is a test of the overall design ability. Junior designers may pay more attention to the interior itself, while senior designers will definitely consider the overall influencing factors such as building structure, surrounding environment, outdoor landscape, light direction, seasonal wind, noise source, geomantic pattern and neighborhood relationship at the beginning of design.
10, effective communication:
Communication in the design process is two-way. It is very important for designers to communicate actively and clearly understand and absorb the needs of owners. Designers should maintain effective communication with owners at all stages of decoration. Designers should not only communicate and understand the owner's function and aesthetic needs, but also effectively communicate and record the owner's lifestyle, occupation, age, personality, hobbies, whether to keep pets, the frequency of home visitors and other factors that may be related to the design, and integrate them into the design. Similarly, the owner can't be the shopkeeper of shearing, but should convey his own ideas and changes to the designer in time and effectively, so that the "tailor-made" excellent works can be realized to the greatest extent with everyone's Qi Xin cooperation.

Typical misunderstanding of finding a designer?
1, a bottle of discontent, half a bottle hanging around.
In today's Internet age, information is flying all over the sky, and information related to decoration design is also readily available. Some owners consulted and learned some preliminary design schemes, and after publishing some decoration knowledge on the Internet, they were full of confidence and asked the construction team to start work, but they didn't know that interior design, as a systematic science, had its complexity. Cooperation with designers can not only get closer to the ideal design effect, but also help them solve the problems encountered in the construction process.
2. Strong intervention and guiding design.
Some owners themselves are leaders, bosses or people with strong personalities, and often excessively interfere with the designer's design process. Too much demand is actually unnecessary in the end, and good design ideas are often killed in the cradle. The designer's design process is timid and repeated. Maybe you are a big cow in a certain field, but you specialize in it. You should patiently communicate your needs, respect the design concept, give designers room to play, and seriously listen to and absorb the professional opinions of designers.
3. Be cheaper and aim higher.
This is a common owner, who has visited roadside stalls and seen specialty stores, and generally uses low prices to achieve the mentality of "high quality" design works. But I forgot the most basic market principle, you get what you pay for. Excellent design works must be in direct proportion to the designer's time and effort. A good designer will focus on the best solution that can be achieved, taking into account the owner's budget. In order to impress owners and stimulate consumption, "sales-oriented" designers often use flashy renderings to earn eyeballs. Owners need to get out of the misunderstanding and correct their mentality.
4. The designer is not as good as the engineering captain.
There are many experienced engineering captains with a large number of actual combat cases. And some young designers, although tempered by professional courses and theories, lack experience in site and technology, and will show lack of confidence when facing the owners. But in general, the project leader can't replace the position of the designer because of the different nature and emphasis of the work and the different knowledge system. The design process and the construction process need to cooperate with each other and should not be gradual.
5, capricious and fickle
When looking for a designer, the owner usually compares the schemes of several design companies or designers, visits other owners' decoration designs, and then takes the essence to get rid of the fear of forming a preliminary idea, and finally chooses the designer he trusts or appreciates most to entrust the design. It often happens that after reading many design schemes, I think this is good or that is good, or an idea today will change tomorrow. This is a kind of torture for designers, which delays the efficiency of design work and causes a lot of ineffective workload. Finally, the confused designer may give a four-unlike plan. In this case, the owners who have difficulty in choosing should first learn from them, follow their basic functional needs and aesthetic preferences, and find the most suitable design direction according to the designer's step-by-step guidance. I believe there are thousands of designs, and there is no perfect one, only the one that suits you best.
