"Karen is an excellent interior designer who has been patient with my frequent indecisiveness. She really pays attention to my concerns and style preferences while also encouraging me to try things I might not have otherwise considered. She knows how to create beautiful, comfortable spaces."

"We have used Tom Smith services directly twice, and indirectly a third time. It was his design that led to buying our home in Montecito. He subsequently designed a beautiful wine room which has given us and our friends & family many wonderful memories. We are currently working with Tom on a kitchen redesign and highly recommend him. John & Susan"

"We first hired Kyles firm when they were just starting out... he did a really nice job on a relatively small (under a $100k) renovation project. A couple years later we contacted him again to perform another, much bigger renovation project. We hired him mainly because we were fairly certain that he would not walk out on us, and trusted he would resolve any issues. We love our house! We have recommended them and will continue to do so!"

With a career beginning in 2001, I bring the expertise of an Industrial Designer who has collaborated with civil and mechanical engineers and contributed to the film industry through sets, props, and stage builds. My work spans luxury homes, offices, restaurants, and bespoke commercial spaces. Every project is fully customized—your vision becomes a refined design, a detailed mock‑up, and a flawlessly executed final result. I begin with an accessible design concept so you can preview the outcome before fabrication. I specialize in modern, artistic, and precision‑crafted work using premium materials. I travel for select projects and adapt to any scale with discretion and professionalism. Client privacy is paramount; no past work is ever shared without permission. My commitment is simple: exceptional design, clear communication, and craftsmanship that elevates every space.

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It’s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.

Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they’re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.

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 state licensing tool.

If you need help with your holiday decorating, the first step is determining your lighting and decor needs to narrow down your pro options. For example, if you want a custom outdoor light display with all of the bells and whistles, you’ll likely need to hire a local holiday light installer who specializes in that service. But if you only need to hang some lights inside in hard-to-reach places, consider hiring a handyperson or an interior decorator instead. It’s best to contact at least three different companies for quotes and to find out what services they offer.

Hiring someone to decorate your Christmas tree costs about $400 on average, ranging from $200 to $1,500 or more, depending on the type of decorating service, size of the tree, location, and materials used to decorate the tree. Price ranges vary by service type:

  • Handyperson: $60–$125 per hour

  • Professional light installer: $300 per hour

  • Interior decorator: $50–$200 per hour

  • Christmas tree designer: $600–$1,500 per tree
