Can an interior designer also manage the renovation project?

Yes — and if you ask us, it’s one of the smartest decisions you can make.

A good interior designer doesn’t just draw up plans and walk away. In Cyprus, many experienced designers also take on the day-to-day management of renovation projects — from hiring the right contractors to making sure the final results match the original vision, down to the smallest detail.

Designers who manage, manage well

Reputable designers don’t just hand over your project to a random builder. They typically:

- Help select trusted contractors they’ve worked with before

- Oversee the renovation step by step, so things stay on schedule and within budget

- Review all work on-site, making sure every tile, light fitting, and built-in is installed just right

And if you already have a contractor? No problem. A local designer will still be your on-the-ground expert, helping you understand pricing, flagging red flags, and making sure you’re not being overcharged.

Designers vs. architects: A key difference

While architects are great for structural changes, most focus on technical correctness and leave the finishing touches to others. Interior designers, on the other hand, are obsessed with detail — not just whether something’s been done, but how well it’s been done.

They’ll notice if a socket is in the wrong place or if the grout colour clashes with the tiles. And they’ll make sure the overall result not only works—but looks and feels right too.

It’s like having a personal renovation guide

If you’re not in Cyprus full-time (or simply not up for daily check-ins with builders), your designer becomes your project manager, problem-solver, and visual quality controller all in one. You stay in charge—without the daily stress.

To sum it up:

- Many interior designers in Cyprus also offer full renovation project management

- They choose and coordinate contractors, monitor quality, and keep your vision on track

- Designers are detail-focused, making sure the end result looks as good as it works

- Their local knowledge helps you avoid overpriced quotes or shady practices
