FAQs
You want your home to feel cozy and beautiful but how do you get there? Design sites and design magazines are a great way to discover your preferences, but actually transforming your space into something you love - while still managing your budget - is where a great designer like Joanne Walgreen and the team at Belden Interiors, can help.
Joanne Walgreen, along with her team of design professionals can, help focus your vision, pull everything together and manage the transformation process so that it is enjoyable rather than daunting. According to Walgreen, “I think the biggest misconception about working with a designer is that it will cost too much, but a good designer should end up saving their client money by choosing the right high-quality elements that never go out of style,” she says. “I truly believe a good designer is worth his/her weight in gold.”
“Transforming your space can really transform your life,” Walgreen says. “Designing a space that is appropriately balanced and proportioned with color, light, scale, and texture can not only make you feel happier, but can also promote productivity and creativity.”
The best part? With Belden Interiors, every step of the process is handled so the overwhelming choices that you face throughout the design process are managed and simplified resulting in a space that works for your lifestyle.
You have great taste and a great eye and we know that your ideas will work well in your home. We also know you are talented at finding home decor on Instagram and other outlets, but actually hunting down the pieces pictured in those design photos is a next-level skill. Late-night furniture rearranging, and unfruitful online shopping can be super frustrating and cost you more time and money than you think. An interior designer respects your time and budget. We can source items and work with vendors to find the perfect lighting, furniture and materials and map out your ideal space.
Belden Interiors will help you find things you’ve never seen (or might even have them made for you). A personal designer that you can trust will do all the detective work for you. If you want to find vintage or one-of-a-kind pieces, your interior designer has go-to vendors and can make flea market trips to score a unique gem.
And if the exact piece you’ve dreamed up doesn’t exist, your designer can help your vision materialize into actual furniture. “There are so many talented furniture designers these days that [you can get] a completely unique piece that is only yours, and you’re supporting a local business,” Walgreen says. A win-win.
Belden Interiors can save you money and time.
Money: Finding deals is your interior designer’s job…literally! So, you (and your bank account) can rest easy knowing you definitely got the best price on that special vanity you’ve always wanted. Walgreen uses the firm’s trade discounts, knowledge of industry sales and high quality vendors to hone in on what you are looking for quickly and efficiently.
Time: The primary benefit you will get is that we turn what can be a super stressful and time consuming project into (hopefully) an incredibly fun, easy and creative experience while we transform your space. We help you pick out the
pieces you want, place the orders, and handle installation and returns (which can be a total headache).
It’s an investment that will pay off.
Investing in your home’s design will help ensure you turn a tidy profit if you have to move on. When you invest in an interior design you give yourself an immediate advantage over other homes in your neighborhood. Those homes may have the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms, but because you have a brand new, gorgeous kitchen renovation, your home immediately becomes more desirable and therefore sells more easily for a higher price.
You’ll end up with a space that’s very uniquely yours!
Carbon copying that bedroom you found online sounds nice in theory—but it wouldn’t leave you with a personality-filled space that feels like home.
Individual material selections are crucial to a space feeling personal. If you want a space that reflects your personality, don’t follow trends; rather, choose items that you love and make you happy the moment you see them. Look at your vision board as a source of inspiration instead of a game plan.
