Why Hiring an Interior Designer Early Matters : For New Builds
July 18, 2025
If you’re building a custom home or starting a renovation in Los Angeles—the decisions you make early on will shape everything. One of the smartest moves you can make? Hiring your interior designer at the start of the process, not at the finish line.
At the WARREN, we know good design starts long before furniture enters the room. Here’s why involving a designer early is key to a successful, beautiful project—whether you’re starting from the ground up or reimagining your current home.
1. We Help Shape the Vision from the Start
Before the plans are finalized, we work with your architect or builder to ensure the structure supports your lifestyle and long-term goals. We often rework the layout and architectural details quite a bit to accommodate the clients’ lifestyle and taste.
2. Avoid Costly Changes Later
Bringing in a designer after construction has already begun often means reworking lighting, cabinetry, or finishes—costly changes that can delay your timeline. Early involvement helps prevent these issues, streamlining decisions and keeping the project on track.
3. Every Detail Is Intentional
From custom millwork and tile selections to lighting plans and material palettes, early design input creates a cohesive vision. Nothing feels tacked on or like an afterthought. Instead, your home feels unified and carefully curated from the inside out.
4. Your Investment Is Protected
A luxury home is a major investment. Our role is to ensure every detail not only looks beautiful but adds long-term value—whether that means selecting timeless finishes, optimizing flow, or honoring the home’s architectural character.
5. The Process Is Smoother
When we join the team early, we act as a creative partner and design lead—making selections, coordinating with trades, managing procurement, and keeping the aesthetic aligned. It’s less stressful for you and more efficient for everyone involved.
Ready to Start Your New Build or Renovation the Right Way?
At The Warren, we specialize in full-home design—from ground-up construction to thoughtful renovations. Our process is collaborative, streamlined, and always tailored to your lifestyle.
Let’s build something timeless together.
