"Denise was very helpful and was even willing to shop for me while I wasnâ t with her! This was especially helpful because I had a new baby at home. By her bringing me the samples and designs to my home, the experience was so easy! She also has great taste in interior design. I highly recommend hiring Denise in order to elevate any space in your home! -Lauren"

"I went through HomeAdvisor website to search for a back splash contractor for our new condo. Somehow, I was added to the "Kitchen Remodel" service so got a call from Carolyn. I explained to her that all I needed was a contractor for a back splash not a whole kitchen remodel. Even though we were not going to use her designer service, Carolyn was kind enough to share with me the reference for her tile installer who also does interior painting which is another service that we need. In my opinion, she is a REAL PRO as other designers may not be willing to extend that courtesy."

"Dora Brigham Interiors did a great job on our wine cellar project. My husband was dreaming to build a wine room in our house. Dora helped us to make it happen! Dora and her team acted with professionalism throughout the entire process and helped us at every step of the way. Dora spent time with us understanding what we like and ultimately designed the perfect project. Dora and the team is extremely responsive and attentive to details. They work with good contractor and vendors and make sure everything is done perfectly. We would absolutely recommend Dora Brigham Interiors to anyone considering a design project."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

One downside of installing a soffit above your kitchen cabinets is that it may make your kitchen appear smaller. This visual illusion occurs because the soffit may make the cabinetry and ceiling appear shorter. However, the benefit of being able to hide unsightly wires or plumbing or HVAC fixtures may be worth the disadvantage of a smaller-seeming kitchen. Consider making your kitchen appear larger by finding ways to add more light and visual appeal to the high spots in the room.

Typically, general remodeling involves architects, contractors, interior designers, electricians, plumbers, and sometimes structural engineers. Each plays a role in bringing the project from concept to completion.

On average, the cost to hire an interior designer or decorator is approximately $8,200. However, the total price can range widely from $200 for a simple consultation to $65,000 for a comprehensive whole-home design project. Most residential designers charge an hourly rate, typically between $50 and $200 per hour, though this can increase to $500 per hour in high-demand areas.

Several factors influence the final cost, including the size of your home, your location, the quality of decor, and the scope of services required. The price will be higher if services include not just consultation but also implementation, material purchasing, home staging, or digital design mock-ups. It's important to note that these cost estimates generally cover the designer's service fees and do not include the price of materials, furniture, or decor, which can be a significant additional expense.

Depending on project size, materials, and complexity, design fees range from $2,000 to $15,000.
