Interior Designer? Ideas?

[elfofftheshelf]

We are in the process of buying a new house and I'm in need of some help and inspiration. Any pointers on where to look (other than Pinterest). We've got a decent budget for design / new furniture and have some ideas for our dining room and kitchen but really struggling with sitting room. Thank you

You could look at some interior designers' websites - they will have their portfolios on there.

We used interior designers when we moved into our current house and really recommend it as an approach - we went from a period property to a new build and didn't know where to start.

We met 3 or 4 and was quite clear we 'clicked' with 1 the most so definitely set up initial meetings with a few to get an idea of if it's a good fit or not.

You could try Houzz. There are loads of great ideas on there. My husband and I have a kitchen and bathroom design company and we put all of our ideas and projects on there. There are thousands of ideas and you can also find local suppliers and designers if you need them.

I would recommend speaking to designers if you're looking to do a lot of work on the interiors - they can give you valuable insight.
