Frequently Asked Questions

There are two main reasons clients enlist the help of an Interior Designer, they either lack the time or talent. Let’s face it, we are all busy and time is of the essence. As designers, we have established trade relationships and resources that are invaluable when planning and executing a project of any type. In regards to talent, we all know what we like and what we don’t like but there is no shame in admitting we don’t know how to “put it all together”. No one is great at everything! Leave the design work to JE Design Group!

The real question is how much an interior designer can save you! Have you ever done something on your own and it did not turn out like you anticipated or thought it could have been better? This is what we do! Material and color selections are in our wheelhouse and we specify them everyday for our amazing clients. Before we specify any color or material we have the intuitive ability to envision what it is going to look like, not to mention years of experience!

An interior designer knows the intricacies of a project. There is an order of events in both the selection process and build process. We know the terminology, construction schedules and can communicate your wishes to the trades accurately. You don’t design or build everyday and we can navigate the process with/for you to make it enjoyable and exciting!

When you hire an interior designer we don’t just “make things pretty”. One of the first requests we always ask when meeting a client for the first time on an initial walk through is , “tell me what you like and what you don’t like about your existing home.” It is important to know if your house works and functions for your lifestyle and needs. We can also fix problem you did not know you had! Your home is your refuge and oasis at the end of a long day. It also doubles as a source of pride when you share your home with family and friends. This is why we believe Life and Style go hand in hand!

Absolutely! A good interior designer will listen to you and show you what you asked for as well as challenge you to think outside the box! Sometimes we will show you things you didn’t know you liked until we showed them to you! The exciting part of what we do is to take your vision and make it better than you imagined! We wouldn’t be doing our job if we couldn’t help you do something that you could not have done on your own!
