"We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Be Home Remodeling, and I just wanted to share how happy we are with everything. Pouria, our project manager, was great — super organized, always kept us updated, and really listened to any concerns we had. Any time we needed something or had a question, he handled it right away. The crew (Manuel, Isaí )did an awesome job. They worked cleanly, were respectful of our home, and the quality of the work shows. The bathroom turned out even better than we expected, and we honestly love how everything came out. Overall, it was a really smooth experience, and we’d definitely recommend Be Home Remodeling and Pouria if you’re planning a remodel."

"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"

"Choosing the right colors for my bathroom was too much of a challenge for me, so I turned to Gemini Studios. Sabrina and her team helped me make the decisions necessary to complete the look I wanted. Friendly and reasonable rates. I highly recommend Gemini Studios CA."

"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"I hired Sabrina with Fresh Start Living to help organize and declutter my entire home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The first consultation is free all you pay for is gas compensation. She asked plenty of questions to better understand my family’s needs in order to suggest organization furniture and supplies that will fit our lifestyle. When she got started, she was fast and efficient and she’s super clean so she even cleaned spaces that were dirty/ dusty along the process. Her prices are definitely fair for the work she does. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and would respond to texts until the evening to make sure urgent questions were addressed promptly. I wish I could give her 6 stars. I will be sending her to my girlfriends! She even gives a bonus for sending referrals!!"

"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 ."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

On average, the cost to hire an interior designer or decorator is approximately $8,200. However, the total price can range widely from $200 for a simple consultation to $65,000 for a comprehensive whole-home design project. Most residential designers charge an hourly rate, typically between $50 and $200 per hour, though this can increase to $500 per hour in high-demand areas.

Several factors influence the final cost, including the size of your home, your location, the quality of decor, and the scope of services required. The price will be higher if services include not just consultation but also implementation, material purchasing, home staging, or digital design mock-ups. It's important to note that these cost estimates generally cover the designer's service fees and do not include the price of materials, furniture, or decor, which can be a significant additional expense.

Establishing a whole-house color palette gives your home a sense of uniformity and makes your interior look more visually appealing. Overdoing a single color can make your home feel monotonous, while too many colors can create a sense of chaos and disorganization. When in doubt, choose a foundation color and then use complementary colors to accent.

Most interior designers have at least a four-year degree, if not an advanced degree in interior design. Additionally, many states require interior designers to be licensed. If your state does not require licensing, interior designers can take a licensing exam with the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Overall, licensing requirements vary from state to state, but most licenses require certain education levels and experience to qualify. To check the qualifications of your interior designer, use Angi’s state licensing tool.

Neoclassical architecture is all about simplicity and balance without losing the drama of its style. White, gray, cream, and other soft pastels are common. Many homeowners choose a deep natural hue for a pop of color, such as jewel tones or black accents. Modern neoclassical architecture also incorporates brick facades, bringing red into the color scheme.

Before hiring an interior designer, ask a few questions to better understand how they work, what’s expected of you, and what they promise to deliver.

  • How long will the project take to complete?

  • What type of services do you offer?

  • Can you provide a project estimate?

  • Do you work with subcontractors?

  • Are you licensed or certified in this state?

  • Do you have a portfolio of previous work I can review?

  • May I contact your customer references?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • How do you handle payment?
