Is Hiring an Interior Designer Worth It?
For many homeowners, the idea of hiring an interior designer can feel indulgent. But when you break it down, working with a designer like Lemieux Interiors is one of the smartest decisions you can make - not just for your home, but for your peace of mind. Here's how the value stacks up.
Avoiding Costly Mistakes
Design regret is expensive. Whether it’s a misjudged paint color or an ill-fitting sectional, errors in layout, finish, or scale add up fast. A designer sees the big picture before the first purchase is made, …and that alone can save thousands.
Strategic Spending, Not Overspending
Think hiring a designer will blow your budget? Think again. Designers know where to invest and where to edit. We help clients avoid overbuying, make use of existing pieces, and allocate funds where they’ll have the most lasting impact.

More Than Aesthetic
An interior designer isn’t just there to make things pretty. Good design improves how your home functions day to day. Better flow. Smarter storage. Lighting that adapts. Our spaces are designed to serve your lifestyle - not just your Pinterest board.
Unmatched Resources
Designers unlock access to trade-only furnishings, vetted contractors, and material sources that aren’t available to the public. That means unique, high-quality pieces—and better pricing across the board.

Design That Increases Value
Well-designed homes photograph better, sell faster, and command higher prices. Whether you're planning to sell, rent, or simply invest long-term in your property, thoughtful design translates directly to increased value.
Built-In Confidence
When you hire a professional, you get more than a beautiful outcome—you get confidence throughout the process. Clear timelines, expert guidance, and a final result that feels personal and elevated.
