How to Evaluate an Interior Design Company: What Questions to Ask

Getting your interior design work done is not easy. It requires careful planning, clear communication, and a team you can trust.

While hiring an interior design company, most people struggle with knowing what to ask or how to evaluate the right fit. At Bird Nest Interiors, we believe in keeping everything transparent. That’s why we’ve put together this simple guide to help you make an informed decision. Here are the key questions you should ask before finalising any interior design company.

1. Can you show me some of your recent projects that are similar to mine?

Asking for similar past projects helps you understand the designer’s style, execution quality, and experience with spaces like yours. It also gives you clarity on whether their work matches your expectations.

At Bird Nest Interiors, we’ve completed over 2500 projects across Bangalore. Whether you’re looking for a modern 2BHK design, a kid-friendly space, or a luxurious villa setup, we can show you real work samples that match your vision. This helps you get inspired and sets the right expectations from day one.

2. What is your design process from start to finish?

Understanding the full process ensures you’re not left in the dark at any stage. It also helps you track progress and stay involved in key decisions.

At our interior design agency, we follow a clear 6-step process:

  • Initial Consultation – We understand your requirements, style preferences, and budget.
  • Site Visit & Measurements – Our team visits your space and takes detailed notes.
  • Concept & Design – We create mood boards, layout plans, and 3D visuals.
  • Material Selection – You choose from curated material options guided by our experts.
  • Execution & Supervision – Our execution team handles all installation work.
  • Final Handover – We ensure everything is ready, clean, and delivered on time.

This process ensures transparency, clarity, and smooth delivery. Also, it is a flexible process so we can mold this around your specific project requirements.

3. How do you handle budgets and cost estimates?

This question helps avoid surprises later. A good interior firm should be upfront about costs and help you make the most of your budget.

When you connect with Bird Nest Interiors, you will get a clear answer for this question. We are known for being one of the most affordable yet premium designers in Whitefield. We offer flexible pricing plans based on your space and needs. Our team gives you a complete cost breakdown before we start. We also suggest alternatives wherever cost savings are possible without compromising on quality.

4. Will I be working with a dedicated designer or a full team?

This question helps you understand who to contact, who’s managing what, and how communication will flow throughout the project.

At Bird Nest Interiors, you’ll work with a full team including:

  • A dedicated project manager
  • Experienced interior designers
  • Skilled execution staff for carpentry, electrical, and painting
  • A customer coordinator to answer any questions you have

You’ll have one point of contact who keeps everything on track while the team handles each stage professionally. No other interior design company provides such client communication at this price range.

5. How do you manage timelines and delays during execution?

Delays can be costly and frustrating. This question helps you judge how well the company plans and manages its projects.

At Bird Nest Interiors, we have a 4.8-star rating and have worked with over 2000 happy clients. We’ve never delayed a project handover. That’s because we use detailed scheduling tools, assign a project manager, and keep extra staff in case of urgent requirements. Regular updates are shared with you so you’re always in the loop.

6. What materials and brands do you usually work with?

Materials directly affect the durability and look of your interiors. This question ensures you’re not getting substandard finishes.

We work with leading brands like Century Ply, Greenlam, Hafele, Hettich, and others as per your budget and preferences. We show you samples during the material selection phase and guide you on which options offer better value. You always know what’s going into your space.

7. How do you handle revisions or design changes during the project?

Design needs can evolve once the project starts. It’s important to know how flexible the company is with changes.

At Bird Nest Interiors, we believe in collaboration. During our initial discussion, we walk you through how changes are handled. Minor tweaks in the design phase are completely okay. If there are major changes after execution starts, we’ll explain the impact on cost or timeline transparently. Everything is discussed before moving forward.
