"Enrique and his team from Palalios & Sons Painting did an outstanding job with exterior painting on our two-story home in Marin. They prepped meticulously, then did a gorgeous job on painting our home which has outdoor trellises and decking also. They were careful, thoughtful, put in many long hours, and did a great job on clean up too. We could not be happier! And our neighbors love it. We get compliments every day. I highly recommend Enrique and his team. We can't wait to recommend them to our friends."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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

You won’t find anything inside a cupola on a house because it’s hollow (think of an upside-down cup), allowing air to ventilate out of a roof via vents and light to come in via windows. They also usually have a base, vents around the middle (usually louvers), and a pointed cap at the top.

While finding a local interior designer whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications. Some states require interior designers to be licensed, and most will have a degree in interior design and certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ). You can also consult our directory of interior designers to get started.

Longer curtains can visually extend the height of a space, especially if they are hung on a rod that sits above the window frame. Place the rod up to 20 inches above the windows to open up a space. And while sill-length curtains are still common, many homeowners today prefer the floor-length look for a more open and airy vibe.

Light-colored paneling–like white or ivory–can make a room look larger by extending the visual aspect of a room’s size, like a mirror. Dark-colored paneling–like oak and mahogany–can make a room feel small and closed in. However, for those looking to create a more intimate space, this isn’t necessarily a negative.
