What does an interior designer do?

Tasks, responsibilities and added value explained

Many property owners in Basel ask themselves the same question when planning renovation or refurbishment projects: Do I really need one?

Interior designers – or is a good eye for design enough? The answer usually only becomes clear as the project progresses. An interior designer doesn't just design spaces, but also structures processes, coordinates specialist planners, and develops well-thought-out solutions that work in the long term. Especially with high-end condominiums, professional interior design is crucial for quality, budget control, and maintaining value.

Why professional interior design is crucial

An interior designer thinks about spaces holistically. It's not about furniture or decoration, but about:

• Spatial structure and floor plan optimization

• Functional processes

• Lighting design and choice of materials

• Technical Integration

• Detailed planning in interior design

What does an interior designer do?

Interior design in Basel often means intelligently developing existing building structures . Load-bearing walls, installations, and building regulations must be taken into account. An interior designer combines design with technical feasibility – in a structured and solution-oriented manner.

Typical challenges in the project

Floor plan and spatial logic

Many apartments feel cramped or restless despite having sufficient space. Without a clear spatial concept, inefficient pathways and poorly utilized areas result.

Budget and prioritization

Not every investment delivers the same added value. An interior designer can help you set priorities and use costs wisely.

Coordination and implementation

Electricians, carpenters, kitchen fitters, plumbers – without clear management, interface problems arise. An interior designer takes over the planning coordination here.

Material and detail quality

The quality is evident in the details: transitions, edges, connections, proportions. These are precisely planned – not improvised.
