"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"

"Carolyn is a gifted designer and manager. She took charge of our project from measuring, blueprints, selection of materials, appliances, permitting. She managed her expert contractors through the construction and installation processes. Our kitchen, living room and balcony are designed with indoor/outdoor living and greatly enhanced views, including the use of LaCantina Door Panels and custom windows. We are absolutely impressed and overjoyed with the outcome. Steve & Jim Laguna Beach"

"Dora Brigham Interiors did an amazing job on our remodel project! They created a thoughtful, sophisticated design and saved us through their sage advice and relationship management skills with the contractor and other vendors. We transformed our 1950s kitchen and family room into an contemporary, elegant space that looks beautiful, but still feels warm and inviting. DBI thought through all of our needs with a toddler and our love for cooking and hosting parties. They created wow features â eye-catching color contrasts to a stunning rock crystal chandelier. They designed around our life â creating space I didnâ t think existed for better flow and storage. They paid attention to the details â down to the gorgeous handles that are perfect for big and little toddler hands. I would recommend Dora Brigham Interiors 100% on design alone, but it was their support on helping us manage difficult situations with our contractor that compelled me to write this review. I would have been extremely stressed and over budget without their resources and willingness to go above and beyond what some would consider â designâ work. They know the industry, they have the â eye,â and they have the resources to help make your design dreams become a reality."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

How long it takes a kitchen designer to complete their work ranges greatly, from just a few hours, to a couple of weeks. Their timeline depends on how complex the design is and the scope of your kitchen remodel. Some remodels are aesthetic and can be as simple as adding new countertops or different cabinets. Those designs will take less time than, for instance, a full gut of your kitchen with a whole new layout and all new appliances.

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.

Costs range from $50 to $200 per hour or $2,000 to $10,000 per project, depending on scope and experience.

The main difference between a home stager and an interior designer is that the former creates temporary, generally appealing spaces, while the latter creates personalized design choices for your permanent home. A home stager seeks to depersonalize your home while also showing off the best features of the home to potential buyers. An interior designer works with you to infuse your personal style into the decor in your home. You’ll typically only hire a local home stager when selling your home.
