"Working with Angela was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. I was incredibly impressed by the depth of creative ideas brought to the table during our initial consultation. She really took the time to understand our personal style and day-to-day functional needs. What we appreciated most was her collaborative approach; instead of pushing a single design direction, she offered multiple options for layouts, color palettes, and textiles. The final space is both beautiful and functional. I cannot recommend Fresh Start Interiors highly enough."

"Helene was amazing! Our first time hiring an interior designer and I regret not doing this 5 years ago. She decorated my 13 month girls room from start to finish. Paint, crib, lighting decor, storage, cabinets, bookshelves etcâ ¦.she listened to all my needs and specific desires for my little girls room and exceeded my expectations. We walked into a completely finished room. She worked very hard to create our little girls room and even baby proofed the dressers for us because we asked. We got a crib that can transform to a toddler bed, the cutest chandelier/Fan combo, and amazing artwork. She even added in a personalized pink glittery wooden name as a gift and wallpaper which was absolutely beautiful and really made the room. Our baby now sleeps so well in her crib and we are so so grateful for Helene. She is really experienced and knows what she is doing and we are blessed to have met her"

"Tensor was able to rapidly digest the local building codes and produce high quality engineering drawings that passed permit review on the first attempt. The attention to detail was incredible and their engineering knowledge helped me plan for the unexpected, I will be using Tensor Engineering for all my projects moving forward."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

Hiring someone to decorate your Christmas tree costs about $400 on average, ranging from $200 to $1,500 or more, depending on the type of decorating service, size of the tree, location, and materials used to decorate the tree. Price ranges vary by service type:

  • Handyperson: $60–$125 per hour

  • Professional light installer: $300 per hour

  • Interior decorator: $50–$200 per hour

  • Christmas tree designer: $600–$1,500 per tree

Experts assess weight, select appropriate hangers, align pieces, and install securely using safe techniques that ensure an even and aesthetically pleasing display.

A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.

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.
