Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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

DIY is possible with essential tools and online resources. Professional designers ensure optimal functionality and aesthetics.

Often those unaware of the differences use the terms interior designer and interior decorator interchangeably. There’s a reason why interior designer fees are typically more than those of decorators. 

Decorators focus solely on dressing the room with color, furnishings, and finishes. Designers have a broader remit, covering structural planning, layout, function, and general aesthetics. Because of the additional skills needed as a designer, they’ll have studied in the field and should have certification and possibly licensing.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

The cost to hire an interior designer is $8,170 on average. You could pay as low as $200 for a small project that doesn’t take more than an hour or as much as $65,000 for a whole-home design project. 

Since residential interior designers mostly charge by the hour, you can expect to pay between $50 and $200 per hour. However, if your designer is in a high-cost area, you could spend up to $500 per hour. These prices do not include material costs, which, depending on what you add to your home, could be costly.
