"Very Professional and easy to work with. Carolyn is both extremely creative and efficient. She provided us with excellent ongoing information about the project's progress and costs. She spent a huge amount of time on the initial proposal and the result of that was that we entered into the work phase feeling confident about the success of the outcome. She did a great job of incorporating in the pieces of art and furniture that we wanted to keep. We would definitely work with Carolyn again."

"Dora Brigham Interiors did a great job on our wine cellar project. My husband was dreaming to build a wine room in our house. Dora helped us to make it happen! Dora and her team acted with professionalism throughout the entire process and helped us at every step of the way. Dora spent time with us understanding what we like and ultimately designed the perfect project. Dora and the team is extremely responsive and attentive to details. They work with good contractor and vendors and make sure everything is done perfectly. We would absolutely recommend Dora Brigham Interiors to anyone considering a design project."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. 

It is usually worth it to hire an interior decorator, especially if you want your home to have cohesiveness and look like it belongs in a catalog. Interior decorators can be quite expensive, but decorating isn’t an ongoing cost, so you can expect to pay once for the service rather than on an ongoing basis. Interior decorating can be especially worthwhile if you’re selling your home, as house staging can make your property feel more welcoming and help buyers envision themselves living in the space.

You can hire a few different experts to redesign a kitchen. The best option depends on your goals, budget, and timeline. For small updates, we recommend hiring a contractor who specializes in kitchen renovation. For extensive updates, a general contractor might be your best bet since they’ll have experience with all aspects of the remodel. If you’re looking for more ideas in the planning stage, you can hire an interior designer or a kitchen remodeling company. Both options will help you thoroughly envision your new kitchen before the remodel begins.

While the terms 'interior designer' and 'interior decorator' are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct professions with some overlapping work. The primary difference lies in the scope of their projects.

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetics of a space, making less permanent decisions about decor. Their work involves selecting colors, fabrics, furniture, wall art, paint, and other finishes to 'dress' a room and enhance its style.

An interior designer has a broader scope that includes a decorator's aesthetic focus but also extends to the structural and functional aspects of a space. Designers are qualified to plan layouts, make structural changes, and manage overall functionality. They handle permanent decisions regarding fixtures like cabinets and bathtubs, establish floor plans, and may hire contractors.

Due to the technical skills required, interior designers typically have formal education, certification, and may hold a license, which can result in higher fees. As a general rule, it is best to hire an interior designer for major remodeling projects and an interior decorator for projects focused on establishing or refreshing a home's interior style.

Yes, most designers tailor plans to fit your budget. Discuss financial constraints during initial consultations.
