Stop Wasting Money on the Wrong Furniture: Here’s What Interior Designers Do Differently
If you’ve ever tried furnishing your home solo, you know how overwhelming it can be. Between endless online options, mismatched dimensions, and the uncertainty of what will actually look good together, it’s easy to feel stuck. And these are some big investments you’re making, which only adds to the pressure.
That’s where DGI Design x Build comes in. As a full-service interior design and build firm, we not only design and construct homes from the ground up, we also take on projects focused solely on furniture and décor. DGI Design x Build began with Devon Wegman, an Interior Designer known for elevating Chicago homes and transforming generic spaces with personalized, custom-feeling details. As demand grew, we brought general contracting in-house to deliver a fully turn-key solution with exceptional design at the core.
Working with a professional doesn’t just elevate your home’s aesthetic, it makes the entire furniture selection process smoother, more efficient, and ultimately more rewarding.
Here’s why trusting an interior designer like DGI for your furniture and décor project is the easier (and smarter) choice.
1. Interior Designers Create a Vision Before You Spend a Dime
At DGI, every project begins with a clear understanding of your personal style and aesthetic. Through our personalized imaging sessions, we take the time to learn how you live, what inspires you, and how you want your home to feel. These conversations allow us to ensure that every future selection reflects your lifestyle and the way you truly use your space.
From there, we develop a complete design vision. Our team studies your floor plan, measures every inch of your home, and begins building detailed 3D renderings that showcase how each piece will come together. Rather than guessing what fits, we model every furniture and décor choice digitally to confirm the right scale, flow, and aesthetic.
We also order material and fabric samples early in the process, so by the time we present your design, we already know how each element will look, feel, and function within your home. The result? No mismatched purchases or design uncertainty, just intentional, beautifully cohesive design from the very start.
2. Access to Designer-Only Furniture and Quality You Can Feel
One of the biggest perks of working with an interior designer at DGI? Trade-only access. This means we get access to furniture and décor collections that aren’t available to the public. Our team sources from exclusive vendors known for quality craftsmanship, timeless style, and comfort that lasts.
We can also customize pieces! So that sectional fits your exact space, that coffee table matches your finishes, and each rug is measured perfectly for your uniquely sized living room. All of these customizations will make your home feel truly one-of-a-kind.
3. You Get a Finished Look, Not a Random Mix of Pieces
One of the biggest differences between DIY furniture shopping and working with an interior designer is the end result. Even the most beautiful furniture can feel off if the scale, layout, and layering aren’t just right.
Our designers understand how each piece interacts with your home’s architecture, lighting, and color palette. A thoughtfully planned furniture layout doesn’t just look beautiful, it transforms how you experience your space. Rooms feel larger, more functional, and inviting, with every piece in harmony. And most importantly, like it was always meant to look and feel that way!
4. A Turnkey Experience: Walk In and Enjoy Your Fully Furnished Home
Ordering furniture is one thing, but getting it delivered, installed, and styled perfectly is another.
When you partner with us, we manage every step of the process: taking precise measurements, placing and tracking orders, coordinating deliveries, and overseeing installation down to the smallest detail. We even handle the final cleanup, so when you walk through the door, your space is ready to live in. Clean, styled, and completely furnished!
We know your time is valuable, and our goal is to make the process effortless from start to finish. Leave the stress (and the heavy lifting) to us.
5. The Process Is Easier, Faster, and Actually Enjoyable
We hear it all the time: “I thought this process would be stressful, but it was actually fun.”
That’s the DGI difference. We handle the details while keeping you involved in the creative side, AKA the part you actually want to do. You’ll see design boards, touch materials, and visualize your new furniture layout long before anything arrives. And when install day comes, you get to walk into a home that feels complete, cohesive, and uniquely yours.
Working with an interior designer for furniture and décor doesn’t just make the process easier, it makes the results extraordinary.
At DGI Design x Build, we combine design expertise, project management, and access to exclusive furnishings to create spaces that feel beautifully finished and deeply personal. Whether you’re furnishing an entire home or reimagining one you already love, our team handles every detail so you can simply enjoy the end result.
