Working with an interior designer is fun, interesting and productive. These professionals have the knowledge and experience needed to help you create the perfect home design, no matter what kind of project you have in mind. However, if you’ve never worked with a designer before you might feel a little nervous about having someone come in and make important decisions about your home.
This often comes from not knowing what to expect. You can ease the tension and get things off to a good start when you know some of the questions your interior designer will ask, so you can have an answer ready.
Here at J. Design Group, our interior designers will ask you a series of questions in order to determine what you’re looking for in a design. Some of the questions may seem a bit personal but there is a good reason for asking them. Our designers need to create a mental picture of what you want before they can know where to begin.

Asking questions upfront will help to make the project go smoother because you’ll know what to expect, so there won’t be any surprises later.
Make a list of any questions you think of before meeting with the designer so you don’t forget anything and be prepared to answer a lot of them, too. The more honest and accurately you answer the questions, the better because it will help to ensure your interior design project moves forward without too much difficulty.
