Homeowners often wonder when hiring an interior designer is truly worth it. The answer depends on the scope of your project, the level of customization involved, and how important it is to get decisions right the first time.

If you’re renovating a kitchen or bathroom, building custom millwork, furnishing multiple rooms, or purchasing a new home, working with an interior designer can significantly improve both the process and the outcome.

Interior designers help guide layout decisions, material selections, lighting plans, and furniture choices while coordinating with contractors and vendors. This is especially valuable in high-investment spaces where mistakes are costly and timelines matter.

At Nic & Nick Home, we provide full-service interior design and construction support, including renderings and full product sourcing and purchasing. Our clients value having a clear plan, predictable process, and a finished home that feels cohesive and livable.
