Introduction
Hey there! I’m Rachel, the founder of Archaus Architecture and Interior Design. Today, let’s dive into whether you need an architect, an interior designer, or both for you dream project.
The Role of an Architect
Architects are trained to help clients determine a project brief, apply impartial and creative thinking to produce a design that adds functionality and value (lifestyle and hopefully monetary). They advise on budgetary expectations, provide guidance on the planning process and building regulations, as well as manage the tender and construction stages of your project.
The Role of an Interior Designer
Interior Designers focus on enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of interior spaces. They work with colours, materials, furniture, lighting, and decor to create cohesive and visually pleasing interiors. Interior Designers help you personalise your space, reflecting your style and preferences.
When to Hire an Architect
Hire an architect if you’re planning a new construction, renovations, reconfigurations or making structural changes. Architects can help with designing entire homes, extensions, or significant alterations to existing structures.
When to Hire an Interior Designer
Hire an Interior Designer if you want to elevate the functionality, look and feel of your space without major structural changes. Interior Designers excel in transforming interiors through colour schemes, furniture selection and decor.
When You Need Both
Choosing to work with both an architect and an interior designer, or someone like me who does both, brings the best of both worlds. It means your home will achieve a cohesive design from the structural amendments down to the finishes and furniture layout. Plus, it makes the journey a lot smoother and more enjoyable for you.
