Why a Designer Should Be Your First Call

When you start planning a home renovation or new build, it’s tempting to call a contractor first. But here’s the thing—contractors build, while designers envision. Without a designer leading the process, you risk ending up with a home that’s functional but lacks the cohesion, warmth, and timelessness you dreamed of.

At Melissa Sacco Interiors, At Melissa Sacco Interiors, a trusted Long Island full-service interior designer, we believe your first call should always be to a designer. Not just any designer—but one who will handle every detail so you can relax and trust the process. Here’s why starting with a designer makes all the difference.

We See the Big Picture

A good design isn’t just about choosing colors or furniture—it’s about crafting a vision that flows seamlessly from room to room and feels perfectly tailored to your lifestyle. We start by asking the right questions: How do you want to live in your home? What matters most to you?

By having this vision in place from the start, every decision made by contractors and trades aligns with a bigger plan—saving you time, money, and frustration.

We love guiding our clients through layouts and finishes early on. It’s not just about what’s pretty—it’s about what will work beautifully for years to come.
