Professional designers are trained to make the space fit your needs. They know the right questions to ask you in order to get the answers they need. They know code requirements for structure, clearances, egress, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, materials, etc. They can make your space both functional and aesthetic. You may be concerned that professional designs cost money, but in actuality they may save you money. Designers work with you to get the most for your budget. Money is also saved because things will not need to be fixed later because of something overlooked in the initial designs, or because it didn’t pass inspection.
