"We would recommend Wendy in a heartbeat to anyone looking for interior design or decorating expertise. We started with one small bathroom layout project, and eventually used Wendy for almost every decision in our new house, from art and furniture selection, to cabinet layouts, to window design, to paint colors, to outlet and lighting placement, to crown molding design and so much more. She is creative, efficient, responsive, and very easy to work with. She is connected with so many different vendors and suppliers, and pays close attention to all details. Her pricing is very reasonable, and the value she delivers is priceless."

"We purchased an older home and after living in it for a couple of months discovered a few issues in the attic and on the outside of the house that needed to be addressed. We also wanted to add additional interior lighting in three bedrooms and replace light fixtures on the outside of the home. Jeremy, from Grandview Construction, professionally addressed all our concerns regarding the necessary repairs to the house. He gave us an honest opinion on what needed to be handled and what steps needed to be taken to correct the issues. Because of Jeremyâ s home construction knowledge and carpentry skills, we were able to address the issues with the house along with making the improvements we were looking for at the same time. After working with Grandview Construction, on our house, I can say with full confidence that I would recommend their services. Grandview showed honesty, integrity, and professionalism in their work. Plus, the improvements they completed to our house turned out fantastic."

"I recently moved to Oak Park from Tennessee, leaving behind almost all the furniture from my traditional 4-bedroom house of 50+ years and moving into an industrial one-bedroom apartment on the 17th floor. I’d never really loved my furniture back home and was ready for something totally different. That’s where Lori came in. From a blank slate she created a serene, balanced space with exciting colors (my first time owning a peacock blue velvet sofa!), stunning pieces, and the perfect balance of function and the ability to entertain in a small space. Everything in the apartment – from wall to wall – is a melding of my traditional style with pieces that work perfectly with the modern concrete and glass of the space. The building management team has even said that they intend to use my apartment for photos for their advertising, as it’s the most beautiful they’ve seen!"

"After buying a condo that was quite outdated, I became overwhelmed with design ideas and lost as to what needed to be upgraded. I also had challenges with the layout of the living room and guest room. After reaching out to a few interior designers, I decided to work with JW Creative as Jake, the designer in charge of my project, was very professional and understood what I envisioned for my home. The results were better than I had imagined, especially for the living room and guest rooms. Jake was able to make elements of my home work with the design that I had previously thought had to be replaced, which saved me thousands in unnecessary improvement. I was extremely satisfied with the quality and price of the items. I would not have been able to find such items at that price on my own. Their work definitely deserves five stars!"

"Roman is extremely talented and conscientious. He is very thoughtful and the quality of work is exceptional. He does not take any shortcuts and neither does he suggest one. He is a bit slow and might not be suitable for someone who is in a rush. We paid a flat rate and might have been a bit pricey, but we believe we got great value for our money."

"Jane was great to work with. We were doing a major remodeling of our first floor, as well as updating furniture and appliances, powder room, and updating our den, and needed both architectural design and interior design. Jane was supportive and patient in walking us through from our general ideas to specifics, and we are very happy with the results. Would highly recommend working with her and have recommended her to friends."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

It depends on the scope of the project and your confidence in your own design capabilities. If you’re simply replacing a few appliances or want to change the cabinetry, you most likely do not need a designer. If you’re doing a full reno, you should bring in a pro unless you have a very strong design sense and want to spend hours laboring over the various technical details.

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.

Yes, most designers tailor plans to fit your budget. Discuss financial constraints during initial consultations.

Yes, professionals can install decorative or colored glass block patterns for a unique look.

Any homeowner can carry out interior decoration themselves, but many struggle to devise a cohesive and appealing design that balances comfort and aesthetics. Interior designers are not only trained in design principles, but they also design home interiors for a living, so they’re much more likely to produce a final product that meets your needs. Hiring a professional can sometimes lead to savings on the materials, as some experts know how to source more affordable decor and furniture via their professional connections.
