TIPS For Working With An IBB Designer

July 29, 2025Written by: IBB AT Home

At IBB Design Fine Furnishings, our talented team of interior designers offers a range of experience, education, and expertise to guide you through the design process with confidence. We believe the most successful projects begin with a thoughtful, in-home consultation—an invaluable opportunity to collaborate, share your vision, and establish a strong foundation for your home’s transformation.

  1. Start with a Personalized In-Home Consultation
    Each of our designers offers in-home consultations at rates based on their background and experience. You can explore individual portfolios and profiles on our website to find the designer whose style and strengths best align with your needs. During the in-home consultation, your chosen designer will meet with you at your home, take measurements and before photos, and walk through each space to discuss your wish list, goals, and how your home functions for you and your family.
  2. Trust the Process and Your Designer’s Expertise
    The most rewarding design experiences happen when clients fully trust the process and embrace their designer’s expertise. At IBB, we pride ourselves on creating spaces that are not only beautiful but highly functional and personal. By trusting your designer to guide you through layout, scale, color, and material selections, you’re ensuring a curated result that’s both elevated and livable.
  3. Be Transparent About Your Budget
    Equally important to the success of your project is setting a realistic budget. Being open about your financial comfort zone helps your designer present the best options and avoid surprises. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or furnishing an entire home, having clear parameters allows us to prioritize your investment and create spaces that exceed expectations.
  4. Enjoy the Journey
    Design is a journey—and with the right professional by your side, it can be seamless, inspiring, and even fun. When you begin with a personalized in-home consultation and clear communication, you’re setting the stage for a transformative experience tailored just for you.
