🛋️ How to Choose an Interior Designer in Kenya – 5 Things to Check Before You Book

Whether you’re revamping a Syokimau apartment, styling a Kilimani Airbnb, or fitting out an office in Eldoret, one thing’s clear—you want an interior designer who understands your space, your taste, and your budget.

Here are five things to check before you book an interior designer in Kenya:

✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?

Pinterest boards are nice—but real results matter more. You need a designer with proven work and client trust.

What to look for:

  • ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
  • ✅Ratings and reviews from past clients
  • ✅Portfolio photos of completed spaces
  • ✅Clear service descriptions (residential, commercial, Airbnb, etc.)

💡 On Balozy, every interior designer is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.

🧠 2. Do They Understand Your Style and Function?

A good designer doesn’t just decorate—they solve problems. Your space should reflect your lifestyle and work for your needs.

Ask before booking:

  • ✅Can you work with my existing furniture or layout?
  • ✅Do you offer mood boards or 3D mockups?
  • ✅Can you balance style with practicality (e.g., kids, pets, guests)?

📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?

Kenya’s traffic and logistics can delay projects. Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster site visits and smoother execution.

Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find interior designers in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly?

You want someone who listens, explains, and updates you—not someone who disappears mid-project or changes the plan without notice.

Look for:

  • ✅Fast response time on the app
  • ✅Transparent pricing and timelines
  • ✅Respectful, collaborative tone

🧱 5. Do They Work with Trusted Suppliers?

Design is only as good as the execution. A verified designer should have access to reliable fundis, painters, carpenters, and decor suppliers.

Ask:

  • ✅Do you manage the project or just design?
  • ✅Can you recommend trusted service providers?
  • ✅Do you offer post-installation support?
