Why Property Investors should be working with an Interior Designer.
If you’re just getting started in the real estate game, your main focus is probably going to be on quickly flipping homes and maximising your investment – but to do this, you should call in the help of a professional interior designer.
Whether you’re time-poor or just don’t have the design knowledge to create incredible indoor spaces, a good interior designer can bring your vision to life and help get your property looking attractive when it goes on the market.
An interior designer can help you with everything from optimising your space, to choosing the perfect colours for the final lick of paint before you start to talk to interested buyers or renters.
If you haven’t thought about the benefits that come from hiring an interior designer for your next property, or just can’t decide whether it’s the right option for you, here are some of the main reasons that could make you change your mind.
Increase the value of your property
The main reason why many property investors choose to work with an interior designer is that they can help seriously increase the value of your property.
Interior designers have an eye for both functional and aesthetic elements that will make your property far more appealing to potential renters or buyers.
Not only do most have years of experience in creating houses for rental markets, but they possess many of the design skills that you may not already have within your team.
They will know the best way to structure a living space, the best appliances to install and how to design a room in a way that immediately attracts the attention of anyone looking at it.
Years of industry expertise
Interior designers will have worked on a range of design products, giving them the knowledge and expertise to pull off your project successfully.
They’ll be able to come into your property and curate a space that works for the industry, based on their previous experience – which is extremely valuable if this is the first time you’re renovating a property to attract renters.
Interior designers will have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to the latest renter trends and will help you decorate your property to be functional, liveable and stylish. They’ll also ensure that your space has universal appeal to a diverse pool of renters.
Help create a unique property that stands out
When you browse through rental properties, you’ll notice that the vast majority of them all end up looking the same.
It’s the same minimal interior and white walls in every property – how is anyone supposed to stand out?
If you want your property to grab a potential renter’s attention when they’re browsing for somewhere to live, you want your property to have the ‘wow factor’. The best way to achieve this effect is by calling in the help of an interior designer.
Renters are willing to pay higher rents for properties that have the designer quality. A well-designed space will look better in listing images, be more appealing in viewings, and secure you that all important higher monthly rent.
If you’re a property manager trying to complete lots of different houses at once, you’ve got a lot of things on your plate, so passing certain tasks on to other people can make your life a lot easier.
Everyone understands the importance of great design – we’ve all walked into a house and been amazed by their furniture, or similarly walked into a new rental unit that seemed lifeless and incomplete. But, not everyone has the time to execute their interior design dreams.
Hiring an interior designer to work on your property gives you time to deal with the day-to-day running of your property business, and take one thing off your to-do list.
Save you money
To maximise your profits, you need to be smart with your money but also invest it wisely into things that will create a return for you.
Investing in an interior designer might seem like something that will cut into your profit margins, but actually this isn’t the case. By calling in a professional designer you’ll get invaluable access to their knowledge and their vast network of retailers that will help you find the best deals and prices possible.
No matter what your budget is, an interior designer will help you stretch it, while still getting a healthy return on investment back.
Access to better resources
You might not have access to all the same resources that an interior designer has yourself. They’ll be able to provide help with their connections and access to a range of resources that you wouldn’t have in your own in-house team.
They will also have a range of rendering tools that show how your property will look, giving you the chance to visualise what all of their hard work will end up looking like, long before the finished product is ready for renters or buyers to enjoy.

“I was recommended Mardesign by a large investment company I work closely with. I had a really good initial consultation with Raquel and thought they were a good fit for my project.
