"I hired Juliana to help me with a “refresh” on my 100-year old San Francisco house. She did an excellent job! Juliana quickly learned and understood my likes and dislikes, my needs and preferences. Her good efforts—including providing me with terrific options during each stage of the work, her unfailing upbeat attitude and her willingness to approach to-be-expected bumps in the road with a calm, “We can solve this” resulted in smooth and seamless customer service.

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

While it’s common to use the terms “interior designer” and “interior designer” interchangeably, they are two different professions, although some of their work can overlap. 

The most significant difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator is how in-depth they work for the project. Interior designers establish a floor plan, hire contractors, and make permanent decisions about the home, like cabinets and bathtubs. Interior decorators, on the other hand, make less permanent decisions about home decor, such as fabrics, wall art, and paints.

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.

Any homeowner can carry out interior decoration themselves, but many struggle to devise a cohesive and appealing design that balances comfort and aesthetics. Interior designers are not only trained in design principles, but they also design home interiors for a living, so they’re much more likely to produce a final product that meets your needs. Hiring a professional can sometimes lead to savings on the materials, as some experts know how to source more affordable decor and furniture via their professional connections.

Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they’re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.
