For example you might like a piece of furniture in the store but when placed in your living room might look bulky & eat up more space than imagined, finding the right color shade for a highlighter wall might take you 3-4 attempts for coloring the whole wall before finalizing the shade cos the patch looked different and once colored on the entire wall looks too flashy or too dull such mistakes are going to cost you extra money which can be avoided if a proficient designer is there to guide you about it. Also hiring a designer will add on to the value of the house if it has to be resold an interior designed house will always have its advantages in the listings.
