"Denise was an absolute pleasure to work with during my kitchen redesign project. Despite the initial setback of a flood, she made the process so easy and stress-free. Denises expertise and guidance in identifying my personal design style were invaluable, and her ability to bring it to life was amazing. She even went above and beyond by coordinating with my contractors while I was out of town, ensuring that everything went according to plan. When we encountered a roadblock with the flooring being backordered, Denise was able to make an executive decision and choose the perfect floor for our kitchen without any input from me. Needless to say, she exceeded all expectations, and we were thrilled with the result. Denise truly has a talent for interior design, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to embark on a renovation project."

"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."

"HQ is the only company I would recommend to my family and friends. Made the process so easy for me and the crew was all around amazing and did even better work. There isn’t anything I would want to fix. Truly a dream come true backyard for me. Plus, the 3D design before construction really made the process fun and headache free. Thanks HQ!"

"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."

Start at the top of the column and secure one end of the garland to the column with a hook, nail, staple, or other fastener. Tightly wind the garland around the column until you reach the bottom. Secure the garland to the base of the column with another fastener before trimming away any excess.

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.

Deciding to hire an interior designer or an interior decorator is entirely dependent on what you’re looking for out of your project and your budget. Interior decorators typically cost less than interior designers, both in hourly rates and overall project costs. 

If you want to add furnishings to your home but it’s otherwise set with permanent fixtures, an interior decorator would be best for you. However, if you are looking to remodel your home or are building a new home and would like help with permanent structures like cabinets, showers, and overall layouts, an interior designer is best.  

Yes, many providers offer design consultations to help optimize and maximize space, functionality, and usage. It is recommended to confirm the availability of this service with your specific installer or contractor.

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.
