"These people did an amazing job! Being the guy that I am my house definitely needed some new ideas. I have no clue about interior design, but working with them quickly put me at ease. So if you're looking for a company to guide you in the right direction and create something just for you, go with this interior design company!"

"We had a large Playhouse built on our property. It was basically a small house insulation drywall siding shingle roof windows air-conditioning. Dave Farmer showed up on time with his helper. Took them an hour and a half to completely finish the job. The work was very organized. They hauled off all the debris. I watch them do most of the demolition. I was very impressed. They are very polite and the cost was reasonable. well worth the money. They also do home improvement just about anything. Thank you, Dave for a job well done. I will definitely use them again."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List !  She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home.  She has  a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me"  I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly  hence saving me the time.  She also has excellent local contacts.  Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent.
My project is far from complete.  I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"

"Skyy and Willy did amazing work! I own a home built in 1951 with plaster walls and ceilings. During hurricane Maria we had a pretty bad leak that resulted in a hole approximately 4x5 feet in our ceiling. We ended up buying a new metal roof and then started our search for someone to repair, patch, re-texture and refinish our living room ceiling. The shopping process sucked royally. We interviewed and elected to pass on a series of contractors, each stating they'd do the work but then failing to show up or just lack of confidence they expressed in being able to share a concise plan to restore the ceiling. The existing ceiling is comprised of two layers of drywall followed by plaster with a hand-applied "sanded" texture and flat paint. Many contractors wanted me to do an ugly knockdown re-texture or total drywall replacement and orange peel texturing. So I kept searching for someone to take the job. That's when I turned to Angie's list and I interviewed two companies, ultimately selecting Skyy. Skyy and Willy showed up on time and approached the job with confidence, a concrete plan of action and competitive pricing. They weren't the highest or lowest priced but right in the middle. The job took three trips; one to patch, sand and level the surface, one to texture and first coat paint and a final visit for final paint touch up and ensure final uniformity. On the second visit Skyy and I came up with a wild idea in the morning to have the whole room repainted including baseboards and walls including an accent wall for Mother's Day and my anniversary. It was basically an episode of flip this living room. The accent wall was Skyy's idea and she saved me from making the room way to dark with her advice. She also guided me based on the colors of our furnishings. During this process I was so focused on the ceiling repair I guess I didn't realize that Skyy is a full-on designer too. My wife came home late that Saturday night and was thrilled and completely surprised with the results. I'm really picky/OCD and its hard to make me happy. I'm sure I drove Skyy and Willy crazy but they never let me see it. They were patient with my ideas and questions and always had a plan to address a concern the moment I voiced it. Every line was razor sharp and the texture matched perfectly. Overall I give the project an A+. Skyy is a preferred contractor for us from now on."

"Terry is very good at what he does. And when it comes to handyman services, he can really do it all. He built two bedrooms from our loft and master bedroom from scratch. Put up drywalls, doors, cabinets, replaced and installed three toilets, replace and installed three ceiling fans, installed new ac vents, replaced bathroom faucets, replaced bidets for toilets, and even created additional electrical outlets. He is very knowledgeable, kind. Courteous, and professional. His prices are very reasonable and affordable compared to the rest. The quality you get from the work he does is money well spent. I highly recommend you hire Terry Tapman handyman services for your next home renovation."

FAQs for interior design and decorating projects in Alachua, FL

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.

The difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator is that the interior decorator focuses on the space’s colors, furniture, art, and finishes. An interior designer goes beyond that to plan and execute layouts, structural changes, and overall functionality in addition to aesthetics that the decorator manages. We recommend hiring an interior designer for major remodeling projects and hiring an interior decorator to establish or enhance your home’s interior style.

On average, hiring an interior designer costs about $8,200, ranging from $200 to $65,000, depending on where you live, the size of your home, and the type of decor. The total price tag of interior design services is based on whether they provide consultation and implementation as well as any specialty design services, such as home staging or digital design mock-ups. Residential interior designers typically charge an hourly rate of $50 to $200 per hour, or up to $500 per hour in areas with high demand.

Hiring an interior designer is often worth the investment, especially for larger projects beyond DIY interior design and project management skills. However, the decision to hire an interior designer depends on your budget and the size of the project. Some benefits of hiring an interior designer include:

  • Realizing the best layout and decor for optimal functionality of the space for your taste, budget, and lifestyle

  • Managing your project to keep the job on track and within budget

  • Assistance with home staging ahead of home sale

  • Serving as a point of contact for contractors

  • Accessing discounts from local suppliers

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?
