Interior Design Myths

There are a lot of misconceptions about Interior Design and Interior Designers that might scare people away. We are here to clear the air and show you what it is really means to hire an Interior Designer.

Myth 1: Design Is Just About Aesthetics

One common misconception about interior design is that it's only about making a space look good. While aesthetics are important, true design goes far beyond appearance. At Whitaker Interiors, we prioritize creating spaces that are functional, intuitive, and tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. It’s about understanding how you live and use your space—what works, what doesn’t, and how to improve its flow and accessibility. We focus on making sure the design enhances your daily life first, then seamlessly integrate your unique style to reflect your personality and preferences.

Myth 11. Designers Only Work In Large Spaces

Many people assume that interior design is only for large, expansive spaces, but that’s not the case. At Whitaker Interiors, we believe that great design isn’t about the size of the room—it’s about enhancing how you live in your space, no matter how big or small. Whether it's rearranging a cozy living room, optimizing storage in a home office, or refreshing a powder room or entryway, we can bring new life into any part of your home. No matter the scale, our design services are tailored to your needs and the space you have.

Myth 111. Designers Do Not Listen To Client Input

At Whitaker Interiors, we understand that your vision is at the heart of the design process. A common misconception is that designers impose their own ideas without considering what the client truly wants. In reality, our priority is to listen and collaborate closely with you. From reviewing initial concepts to approving the final furniture and materials, every decision is made with your input and preferences in mind. Our goal is to work with you, every step of the way, to bring your dream space to life.

Myth 1v. Interior Design Is Too Expensive

Many people shy away from interior design services, thinking it's out of reach financially. But creating your dream home doesn’t have to come with an overwhelming price tag. At Whitaker Interiors, we offer a range of services tailored to fit different budgets, so you can enjoy high-quality design without compromising on your financial goals. Whether you choose our Full Service package or one of our more flexible options, we work with you to ensure your vision is realized within your budget.
