"Juliana Carlesen is outstanding in every way. In the short time we've worked together to re-design my living room, she has helped me to re-think so many aspects of my life - how I live and work and entertain in my space and how to integrate my overly active puppy! She combines best features of an interior design company, a creative artistic eye and imagination, practical know how and an extensive network of outstanding professionals. Most importantly, she has a compassionate heart and a kind nature. I recommend her whole heartedly and without reservation. Catherine Pyke"

"Working with Sabrina at Fresh Start Living was one of the best decisions we made for our home. She updated the old interior of our recently purchased home and redesigned the landscape of the front and backyard. She knew how to combine different styled flooring and counter pots to flow well, and recommended certain lighting layout and stone materials for the yard to elevate and modernize the old landscaping. She took the time to go to local nurseries with us to help choose flowers, trees, and plants that fit our vision and budget. Another thing that stood out for us was that Sabrina shared a percentage of her corporate designer discounts for the interior materials with us, which saved us money?something no other designer offered. She has several clients but would always answer questions by end of day and address concerns patiently and always with a great attitude. Working with Sabrina was a great decision and recommend her to anyone that wants personalized design work for their home"

"We hired Sonia Jimenez from Topview Design Solutions after being recommended by our contractor and, from the very first meeting, we felt she was the right designer to execute our ideas professionally. The project involved moving one of the exterior walls of our house to line up with an exterior corridor to create the space for a bigger kitchen. The one caveat was that we wanted the final look to blend seamlessly with the rest of the house and not to look like an addition. Sonia designed the space after taking all this into consideration and drafted the necessary permit drawings. The final product is great: the house looks like it was built originally the way it looks now but more attractive and stylish, and our kitchen is really what they called a chef kitchen with estate of the art appliances and beautiful cabinets and finishes. Sonia is very efficient, well-organized, and a talented designer who really took the time to listen and get to know us. We are thrilled with the way our home turned out and I d recommend Sonia to anyone."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.  

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

Universal design is a design concept that states that products, spaces, and general environments are designed to be used by everyone, with an emphasis on accessibility for those with limited mobility or other special needs.

Yes, professionals can install decorative or colored glass block patterns for a unique look.

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.
