"After they redid our counter tops and island, we had them paint out cabinets and build shelves up to the ceiling. The communication was on point this time and the results speak for themselves. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any home project."

"Jennifer designed and handed all aspects of our San Francisco loft remodel. She worked with the contractor and everything was very seamless. She kept within the budget we gave her. The remodel looks amazing. We will definitely use her again."

"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!"

"Molly and Paul were absolutely fantastic. We hired them for unpacking and IKEA furniture assembly, but they ended up doing so much more. I have a hard time making decisions about how to arrange a space, and what usually takes us weeks of trial and error, they helped us talk through and nail on the first try. They have a great eye for design and helped us figure out the right setup for our living room, kitchen, and bedroom so everything actually made sense for how we live. On top of that, the assembly and heavy lifting were flawless. Giant cabinet, TV mounting, moving cupboards around, all handled quickly and professionally. They made something that felt overwhelming into a one-day project, and our place actually feels like home now. Ten out of five stars. We got way more than we expected, and we?re so grateful."

"Rob is very punctual, reliable, and creative. We hired him to re-design our kitchen and design an addition to the back of our house. His designs offered a new perspective on our relatively small space. Now that is is completed, we frequently get compliments for the inviting and functional space that Rob designed. We would work with him again."

Residential Design FAQs, 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.

Selecting the right general contractor to tackle a job like raising a sunken living room can feel like an overwhelming prospect. Follow these tips to find, vet, and hire the best local contractor for your project:

  • Get recommendations from neighbors and friends who might be able to suggest contractors they’ve used.

  • Request written quotes to help set your budget and expectations.

  • Verify your contractor’s credentials to ensure a professional and legal finished product.

  • Read the contractor’s proposed contract to make sure you agree to all terms, including the project timeline, cost, and materials. 

  • Keep copies of all relevant documentation.

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.

No, space planning is not only relevant for new spaces. With the help of a professional architect, you can still create a space plan for an existing space.

The main difference between a home stager and an interior designer is that the former creates temporary, generally appealing spaces, while the latter creates personalized design choices for your permanent home. A home stager seeks to depersonalize your home while also showing off the best features of the home to potential buyers. An interior designer works with you to infuse your personal style into the decor in your home. You’ll typically only hire a local home stager when selling your home.
