How to find a Scandi interior designer

Finding an interior designer for a Scandi renovation/refurb

Whether you’re renovating your home or starting afresh with a blank-canvas new build, getting the design input from a professional can be invaluable.

Understand what/who you’re looking for

Before you start searching for your perfect interior designer, I’d recommend first collecting some ideas and looks that you like. Pinterest is a great place to start. Not only will this guide you in your search to find the best interior designer for your style, it will also be hugely beneficial in the design process, resulting in the best possible end result.

We’ve also put together some of the best Scandi designs from the architects and designers of Design for Me to help get you inspired.

Do I need an interior designer at all?

You may find our article, ‘What do interior designers do?‘ useful, so you can gain an understanding of the services that an interior designer can provide.

In summary, interior designers can usually offer different levels of service (and therefore different price points) depending on your particular needs. For example, you may benefit from only a couple of hours of a design consultation or you may want full design, supply and project management services.

Is an interior designer worth the cost?

Many homeowners will wonder whether using an interior designer is worth the cost.

A big part of an interior designer’s job is to take your budget and find the best possible solution to work within that budget. Their wealth of knowledge on products and suppliers, usually built up over years of experience, will ensure that all selections are the best fit for your style and budget requirements. This can be invaluable and save you both time and money.

With this in mind, think about your own creative flair and how much time you want to commit to the project yourself. This will help you decide on the extent of the services the interior designer will provide.

Finally, if you are planning significant alterations involving building work, there will be another layer of potential statutory obligations to meet and expertise needed to hire the right professionals and manage the project on site.

Should you choose an interior designer by their past work?

Most interior designers are able and very willing to turn their hand to any design style. The Scandi design style is no exception and is increasingly popular in the industry.

The issue with giving a general design style as your brief is that there are a plethora of interpretations and nuances that can result in very different end results.

The best thing I would recommend is to work with a designer whose past work you really like and feel an affinity with. Moreover, it’s really important to establish a good connection with the designer, who will be able to figure out what you do want (even if you don’t realise it yourself until it’s finished!)
