Here are our 5 REASONS WHY HIRING A LUXURY INTERIOR DESIGNER (LIKE CURATED.) IN SOUTH FLORIDA IS FAR LESS EXPENSIVE THAN YOU EXPECT
1. Streamlining the Process: Dreaming about enjoying the finished results of an interior design project for your South Florida home can be exciting. But, for the uninitiated, moving through the actual steps of renovating or decorating a luxury home can be a seriously time-consuming and stressful process.
When it comes to interior design projects, there are a lot of moving parts to manage and countless decisions to make. Coordinating with contractors and suppliers. Selecting materials and furniture.

2. Avoiding Costly Mistakes: One of the most significant ways that an interior designer can save you money is by helping you avoid costly mistakes. As celebrated interior designer Kelly Wearstler explains in her book, "Rhapsody": “Interior design is not just about how things look; it’s about how things work.” By collaborating with an interior designer, you can avoid costly mistakes that can end up costing you a fortune to fix. .
Melanie Haselmayr, our CEO and Designer at CURATED., has had the pleasure of transforming countless homes into stunning works of art that exude both beauty and functionality. Her interior design journey began when she joined her husband Stefano in his rental renovations, where she learned the importance of balancing aesthetics with practicality.
From there, Haselmayr progressed to flipping homes, where she discovered the art of creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere that appeals to prospective buyers. As she transitioned into staging homes, Haselmayr honed her eye for detail and learned how to create a sense of purpose in every space.
Haselmayr served as her own client in these projects, acquiring the invaluable experience that she now applies to our clients' projects at CURATED. Through buying millions of dollars worth of furniture, Haselmayr gained an intuitive sense of which pieces work best for each individual client, depending on their unique style preferences and comfort needs.
The extensive interior design expertise of our team at CURATED. ventures well beyond aesthetics and into the realm of functionality and purpose; ensuring that your design choices will not only look beautiful, but are also perfectly tailored to your lifestyle. By getting it right the first time, you'll save time and money on your interior design project.
3. Maximizing Your Budget: Many people assume that hiring an interior designer means spending more money, but a skilled designer can actually help you maximize your budget. As celebrity interior designer Nate Berkus states in his book, "The Things That Matter": "The most important thing to remember when it comes to design is to always prioritize." A designer can help you prioritize your needs and wants, and find creative ways to achieve the look and feel you want without overspending.
A designer can also help you make smart decisions about where to invest your money, such as in high-quality furniture and fixtures that will last longer and require less maintenance over time. Belgian designer and antiquaire Axel Vervoordt explains in his book, "Wabi Inspirations": "I always think about things that are simple and natural and that can last a long time. I prefer to choose materials that have an inherent beauty that will only get better with time."
Another significant benefit of working with CURATED. (with regards to maximizing your budget) on your interior design project is that we always pass 100% of the value of our industry discounts directly to our clients. Thanks to our enduring relationships with a wide array of quality-focused and exceedingly reliable furniture & decor vendors, we can often negotiate much better prices for our clients than they would be able to get on their own. These discounts can be significant. Even after our design fee is factored in, the overall cost of the project will often be less than it would have been if you had attempted to go it alone. PLUS, now you’ll have the benefit of CURATED.’s entire team of interior design professionals leveraging their cumulative experience and seamlessly executing each part of the process (design conceptualization, space planning, procurement, receiving, holding, architect + contractor coordination, logistics, quality control, and more) of bringing your dream home design to life.
By taking advantage of the generous trade discounts that we pass on to our clients, you can save money while still creating a luxurious CURATED. look in your South Florida home.
4. Increasing Energy Efficiency: Did you know that your home's layout and design can have a significant impact on your energy bills? Living in South Florida, the heat and humidity are omnipresent pieces of our everyday lives. The interior design professionals at CURATED. can help you make smart decisions about lighting and window treatments that will help you reduce energy costs over the long run. We can also suggest energy-efficient appliances and help you choose materials and fabrics that regulate temperature, which can keep you more comfortable and reduce your monthly heating and cooling bills.
5. Long-term Investment: Investing in your home’s interior design is not just about creating a beautiful space to live in, but it's also about making a long-term investment. A luxurious home with a well-designed interior can increase your property value and leave a lasting impression on your guests. But, it can be challenging to create a perfect design that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
As Los Angeles based interior designer, author, and television personality Martyn Lawrence Bullard states, "The value of hiring an interior designer is not just about creating a beautiful space, but it's also about creating a space that is tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle."
At CURATED. we practice the fine art of Design With Purpose™. Our team intimately understands how to help you create a space that’s both beautiful and functional, with furniture and fixtures that will stand the test of time. A CURATED. home is more comfortable and enjoyable to live in, will save you money on future updates, and is increasingly likely to retain its value more reliably over the long term.
Also, if and when the time ever arrives where you decide to sell your property, a well-designed home can make all the difference in the real estate market. While property is undoubtedly a tangible asset, buying a home is often an emotional decision. Prospective buyers are looking for more than a square footage and bedroom count; they’re seeking the feeling that a home conveys. And CURATED. homes always look and feel incredible..
