What qualifications should an interior designer have?

<div>Most interior designers have at least a four-year degree, if not an advanced degree in interior design. Additionally, many states require interior designers to be licensed. If your state does not require licensing, interior designers can take a licensing exam with the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Overall, licensing requirements vary from state to state, but most licenses require certain education levels and experience to qualify. To check the qualifications of your interior designer, use Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a>.</div>

What’s the difference between an interior designer and a decorator?

<div>The difference between an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-difference-between-interior-designer-decorator.htm">interior designer and an interior decorator</a> is that the interior decorator focuses on the space’s colors, furniture, art, and finishes. An interior designer goes beyond that to plan and execute layouts, structural changes, and overall functionality in addition to aesthetics that the decorator manages. We recommend hiring an interior designer for major remodeling projects and hiring an interior decorator to establish or enhance your home’s interior style.</div>

How much does an interior designer cost?

<div>On average, hiring an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-interior-designer.htm">interior designer costs</a> about $8,200, ranging from $200 to $65,000, depending on where you live, the size of your home, and the type of decor. The total price tag of interior design services is based on whether they provide consultation and implementation as well as any specialty design services, such as home staging or digital design mock-ups. Residential interior designers typically charge an hourly rate of $50 to $200 per hour, or up to $500 per hour in areas with high demand.</div>

Is hiring an interior designer worth the cost?

<div>Hiring an interior designer is often worth the investment, especially for larger projects beyond DIY interior design and project management skills. However, the decision to hire an interior designer depends on your budget and the size of the project. Some benefits of hiring an interior designer include:<ul><li>Realizing the best layout and decor for optimal functionality of the space for your taste, budget, and lifestyle</li><li>Managing your project to keep the job on track and within budget</li><li>Assistance with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-staging-checklist.htm">home staging</a> ahead of home sale</li><li>Serving as a point of contact for contractors</li><li>Accessing discounts from local suppliers</li></ul></div>

What questions should I ask an interior designer?

<div>Before hiring an interior designer, ask a few questions to better understand how they work, what’s expected of you, and what they promise to deliver. <ul><li>How long will the project take to complete?</li><li>What type of services do you offer?</li><li>Can you provide a project estimate?</li><li>Do you work with subcontractors?</li><li>Are you licensed or certified in this state?</li><li>Do you have a portfolio of previous work I can review?</li><li>May I contact your customer references?</li><li>How do you handle change orders?</li><li>How do you handle payment?</li></ul></div>

They say "home is where the heart is". The people we share our home with make that ring true, but so much of that comfort also comes from how your space makes you feel. My passion for bringing balance and functionality to your space will turn your Home into a Haven, specially designed with you in mind. Services : Full Service Interior Design, New & Used Furniture Procurement, Mentorship, Advisement, Project Management, Styling Services

"It was my first time working with an interior design firm, and I chose Hermosa Style Co (after interviewing five other designers) because of their aesthetic, availability, and the price and flexibility of their services. I needed my fireplace re-designed, my kitchen updated, the interiors painted, and help with new furniture selection for my family and dining rooms. I wanted to make the transition from a mid-century aesthetic to a more Tulum-esque global organic vibe, but I didn't have a high-end budget. Heather and Alexa did a site visit, documented my existing furniture and art pieces, and came up with a plan for construction and furniture that did not blow my budget. I am very happy with the final results! The project was executed thoughtfully from start to finish, including project management of the construction phase."

"What started out as a bathroom remodel turned out to be an entire house remodel. I am so very pleased with the end product. New England Upgrades surpassed my expectations. They were easy to work with, reliable, helpful in the design and offered much assistance with their artistic views. I have no regrets that I chose them for this project. Their professionalism and care for the outcome of the work they performed was encouraging throughout this project. I have a new kitchen, new flooring throughout, an updated fireplace. New bathrooms. New walls and clean and painted walls, and many other updates they helped to provide or coordinate. They helped to design my landscaping, coordinated services to achieve that design. I feel they were cost effective and cost conscious in their suggestions. Thank you New England Upgrades. I feel like I am living in a “new house” now!
