"Shilpa did an amazing job designing an addition to a home we bought. It included remodeling an extra framed garage into a master bedroom suite, laundry room and powder room plus adding to its size . The project also included doubling a great room to blend into the house with the new suite as well as opening up the kitchen to this great room and raising the ceiling . The design blends really well and will provide a nice open plan for living and entertaining I was impressed with how well Shilpa understood what we wanted and executed the plans in the time frame promised if not earlier. She also pushed it thru the planning dept. with minimal need for changes. The project is on going and is moving along well Shilpa is always available to answer questions as things progress. The contractor feels she is easy to work with as well. I really enjoyed working with Shilpa and easy her demeanor ."

"Rick and team used LIDAR technology to see how interior walls matched up in our custom home and came up with an open concept floor plan that netted us a new office, walk in closet, walk in pantry, new bedroom flooring and a brand new bathroom with custom zero lip shower. We are thrilled with our new remodel! Ovation runs an amazing team who are very respectful, clean and listen to customer needs."

"Adam is a great Architect. Very knowledgeable and through on building codes, needs, and wants of my project. I needed to expand my bathroom and make it handicap accessible. He thought of things I never considered. He foresaw things like moving the heating vents, adding lights, and fans. I’m just so pleased. My contractor was impressed. He loved the attention to detail. I was so naive about the project. Adam explained and we worked together to get my remodel the way I envisioned it. 5 stars I feel confident now to discuss with the contractor to see it through."

"Molly and Paul were absolutely fantastic. We hired them for unpacking and IKEA furniture assembly, but they ended up doing so much more. I have a hard time making decisions about how to arrange a space, and what usually takes us weeks of trial and error, they helped us talk through and nail on the first try. They have a great eye for design and helped us figure out the right setup for our living room, kitchen, and bedroom so everything actually made sense for how we live. On top of that, the assembly and heavy lifting were flawless. Giant cabinet, TV mounting, moving cupboards around, all handled quickly and professionally. They made something that felt overwhelming into a one-day project, and our place actually feels like home now. Ten out of five stars. We got way more than we expected, and we?re so grateful."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.

Designers optimize space, improve aesthetics, and recommend durable, high-quality materials.

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.

Interior decorating services usually include an initial consultation to discuss your needs and determine a style and budget that works for your space. From there, your professional designer could offer a wide range of services, including the following:

  • Determining a useful layout of furniture and decor in your home

  • Choosing flooring, paint colors, trim, and other accents

  • Coordinating color schemes and design styles throughout your rooms

  • Choosing, purchasing, and coordinating the installation of furniture

  • Choosing and installing pillows, wall hangings, and other decor throughout your home
