Why do you need a designer for decoration?
as a new science, modern interior design has only a few decades of history, but with the rapid improvement of people's living standards and the increasing demand for comfort, beauty and efficiency of daily living environment, interior design has become a more grounded field compared with architectural design and closely related to people's daily life. Professional designers will lead owners to take fewer detours, improve the value of houses and space efficiency, and greatly increase the happiness of living.

What is the value of a designer?
the basic needs of decoration are usually based on practicality and beauty. Generally speaking, the owners have certain life experience and basic decoration concepts, and basically have the ability to plan their own practical needs. However, the value of professional designers is that they can fully meet the practical needs, and combine aesthetics, architectural structure, space utilization, engineering technology and surrounding environment to create a multi-dimensional overall living environment that perfectly integrates all aspects of needs.

Where can I find a home improvement interior designer?
There are three common channels:
1. Decoration design company: This is the easiest way to find designers through stores or online platforms in the market. Generally, projects are accepted in the form of all-inclusive and half-inclusive design and construction integration, which means that the design company is responsible for the design and occupancy. The phenomenon of mixed good and bad is also widespread, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan or even free, and the gap between high and low is wide. It is necessary for the owner to identify and select design companies and designers.
2. Independent designers: generally, they are in the form of designers or studios, take the pure design route, and generally have strong professional design ability, and generally do not involve marketing. However, the design fee has a certain threshold of 311-611 yuan per square meter, which is suitable for owners who have a certain budget space and attach importance to and pursue design, especially in the use and transformation of small-sized houses and villas.
3. Manufacturers' designers: These designers are distributed in various material suppliers. Some manufacturers, such as whole house home design, main materials and customized furniture, also provide interior design or home soft decoration design services, but they will bind their products for marketing, which is suitable for owners who have selected home furniture and have low requirements for hard decoration.

How to choose a good designer?
here, Jiumo Space Design objectively evaluates the conditions and abilities that excellent designers need, which can be summarized as "The Pirate Code of Designers"
1. Design experience:
The owner should know whether there are enough design cases and rich experience, which means that the designer has a deep understanding and grasp of the owner's needs, and at the same time has the ability to predict and solve the possible practical problems in interior design in advance.
2. Creative ideas:
Whether a designer can quickly form a preliminary design idea and ideas according to the site situation and the owner's needs in the communication process, describe and outline a creative prototype or local details easily, quickly and accurately by hand drawing or through the floor plan, and clearly explain its purpose and intention is not only the basic ability that designers should have, but also the direct standard to widen the level difference between designers.
3. Cost control:
A responsible and experienced designer will not only understand the owner's aesthetic and functional needs at the beginning of design, but also combine the owner's budget, allocate the budget reasonably according to the needs of effect and function during design, and spend money on the cutting edge, and the designer's understanding of the process price of decorative materials will also be reflected in the economical, effective and reasonable design details.
4. Professional technology:
Not only refers to the efficient use of this professional knowledge system and design operation software, but also requires designers to keep up with the times with new technologies, such as the understanding and application of scientific and technological smart homes, the application of scientific and technological and environmentally friendly decorative materials, the expression of spatial vision, and the handling of environmental relations between acoustics, optics and spatial scales.
5. Artistic individuality:
There is no soul in the stereotyped and streamlined design. Because of the pressure of performance and the limitation of time, it is often difficult for marketing designers to concentrate on the design itself, and patchwork is prevalent. Therefore, the designer's personality and artistic appreciation ability determine whether the designed home environment has a "tailor-made, unique" effect, and he does whatever he wants, regardless of good or bad, which feels like a good service to the owner, but in fact it is irresponsible to the owner. A designer with personality is not necessarily good, but a good designer must have personality and pursuit!
6. Professional ethics:
Design is a predictive work. The more specific and detailed it is, the higher the controllability will be, and more possible problems can be found or avoided. The professional ethics of the designer will definitely be projected on the design work itself. A good designer will make a reasonable prediction and choose a suitable technological process according to the design and site conditions, so as to achieve the effect of saving the owner's mind and effort in the decoration process.
7. Cultural accomplishment:
Cultural accomplishment not only refers to the academic background, but also refers to the comprehensive personal attainments and accomplishments in culture, art, life and quality, which plays a key role in the connotation and quality of design works. "Writing is like a person" is the reason, and the most essential difference and gap between marketing designers and high-quality designers lies here.
8. Control ability:
Design is only a part of interior decoration project, which involves many follow-up projects such as material selection, logistics, construction, installation and protection. The designer's control ability of the whole project must be directly reflected in the degree of restoration and presentation of the design works. When choosing a designer, we should consider the coordination and control ability between the designer and the construction party, such as whether the construction team is owned or outsourced, the understanding of the construction team, and the clear understanding and control ability of various types of work, processes and construction nodes on site.
9. Global environment:
From the design point of view, each designer's creative starting point will be different, but whether the overall environment can be taken into account or not is a test of the overall design ability. Junior designers may focus more on the interior itself, while high-level designers will certainly consider the overall influencing factors such as building structure, surrounding environment, outdoor landscape, light direction, seasonal wind, noise source, geomantic omen pattern, neighborhood relationship and so on at the beginning of design.
11. Effective communication:
The communication in the design process is two-way. Whether the designer actively communicates and clearly understands and absorbs the owner's needs is very important. The designer should keep effective communication with the owner at all stages of decoration. Designers should not only communicate and understand the owner's functional and aesthetic needs, but also effectively communicate and record the owner's lifestyle, occupation, age, personality, hobbies, whether to keep pets, frequency of visitors at home and other factors that may be related to the design, and integrate them into the design. Similarly, the owner can't be the shopkeeper of cutting and cutting, but should convey his own ideas and changes to the designer in a timely and effective manner, so that the "tailor-made" excellent works can be realized to the greatest extent with the concerted efforts of everyone.

What is the typical misunderstanding of finding a designer?
1. One bottle is dissatisfied, and half a bottle is dangling
In today's Internet age, information is flying all over the sky, and information related to decoration design is readily available. Some owners have consulted and learned about some preliminary design schemes, and after scraping some decoration knowledge stickers on the Internet, they have a well-thought-out plan, and they are confident enough to find a construction team to start work. However, as a systematic science, interior design is complicated, and working with designers can not only get a more ideal design.
2. Strongly intervene and guide the design
Some owners are leaders, bosses or strong personalities, and often excessively intervene in the designer's design process. Too many requirements are necessary, but in the end they are not necessary. Good design ideas are often killed in the cradle, and designers are timid and timid in the design process. Maybe you are a big cow in a certain field, but you specialize in it. You should communicate your needs patiently, respect the design concept, give designers room to play, and listen carefully and absorb the professional opinions of designers.
3. Pursue cheap and aim high.
This is a kind of common owner. After visiting roadside stalls and seeing specialty stores, there is a general mentality of using low prices to achieve "high-quality" design works. But I forgot the most basic market principle, a penny is worth a penny. Excellent design works must be directly proportional to the designer's time and effort. A good designer will put his mind into the optimal solution that can be achieved, taking into account the owner's budget. In order to impress the owners and stimulate consumption, the "sales-oriented" designers often use flashy renderings to earn eyeballs, and the owners need to get rid of misunderstandings and correct their mentality.
4. Designers are not as good as engineering captains
Many engineering captains have rich experience and a large number of practical cases. And some young designers, although tempered by professional courses and theories, lack experience in site and technology, and will show lack of confidence when facing the owners. However, in general, with different work nature and focus and different knowledge systems, the project leader can't replace the position of the designer. The design process and construction process need to cooperate with each other, and it is not advisable to step by step.
5, capricious, fickle
When looking for a designer, the owner usually compares the schemes of several design companies or designers, visits the decoration designs of other owners, then takes the essence, removes the bad ones and forms a certain preliminary idea, and finally chooses the designer whom he trusts or appreciates most to entrust the design. It often happens that after reading a lot of design schemes, I think this is good or that is good, or an idea today will change tomorrow. This is a kind of torture for designers, which delays the efficiency of design work and causes a lot of invalid workload. In the end, designers who are confused may give a four-unlike plan. In this case, the owners with difficulty in choosing should first learn from it, follow their basic functional needs and aesthetic preferences, and follow the designer's step-by-step guidance to find the most suitable design direction. Believe that there are thousands of designs, there is no perfect one, only the one that suits you best.
