"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."

"I am so happy that I found Lori. My previous designer was good but her choices have not stood the test of time. I like things simple and very clean, but not boring so I hired Lori to refresh the space with new smaller pieces (eg drink tables, lamps) and colors (artwork, pillows etc). She listened to be carefully and knew how to take the basics and turn them into something elevated. I love coming home now to my new rooms and entertaining guests. I am eager and excited for her to get started on the TV room!"

"Master Bathroom Upgrade Review I highly recommend this construction company for any home renovation project. They recently completed an upgrade of our master bathroom, and the experience and final result were exceptional. The project was completed on time and on budget, which was a huge relief. I've heard countless stories of cost overruns and timeline delays, and I was genuinely expecting both. This company’s commitment to their initial proposal was a testament to their professionalism and meticulous planning. The team's craftsmanship was outstanding. The crew consistently arrived on time, starting their day at 7:30 am and working diligently until 6:30 pm. Their work ethic and dedication were truly impressive. My wife and I also felt completely comfortable and safe with them in our home. They were respectful of our space, only interacting with us when necessary The design process was a key part of our positive experience. Kim, our designer, did an outstanding job."

"Forouzan has gone above and beyond expectations, working with our ideas and goals under the somewhat challenging conditions of Spring 2022, helping us make time-sensitive decisions on materials so we could move forward with multiple, interdependent renovation projects: The kitchen, downstairs powder room and laundry room have pulled together very nicely with the materials and colors she helped us select. We have a direction for an overall color scheme, window treatments, fixtures... And I am especially looking forward to setting up a delightful piano room. Here's the background: My partner and I bought a house that was not move-in ready, but had great potential. Tackling both the structural and decorative goals of an empty house at once felt overwhelming from the start. Shortly after the old flooring was removed, I knew we needed additional design help. We also needed to combine furnishings from two separate households. Much of this was in storage while we stayed in a smaller Chicago condo during the house renovations. With Forouzan's initial consultation, she helped us visualize the broad strokes of a "future state" and find a direction towards a cohesive look and feel. In all of our follow up conversations, she has answered questions to design dilemmas we encountered along the way, and provided much needed advice and recommendations for materials, fixtures, and potential colors that would work with both existing furnishings and new. This allowed us to ultimately select materials we love, including: countertops, kitchen cabinet finish and hardware; lighting, bathroom floor tile and accessories, and laundry room floor tile. The "before" and "after" photos will be quite fun!"

"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."

"What I liked about Seda and Decorating Den was that she incorporated my ideas in her design. If furnishing rooms is too much, but you have specific ideas for some part of the design Seda and the Decorating Den will work with you. I also love that Seda presented multiple options for all the rooms she designed. Seda was amazing to work with because she loves what she's doing, but she really wanted to make me happy."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

Pros offer design expertise and suggestions tailored to fit your space, style, and budget.

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.

One downside of installing a soffit above your kitchen cabinets is that it may make your kitchen appear smaller. This visual illusion occurs because the soffit may make the cabinetry and ceiling appear shorter. However, the benefit of being able to hide unsightly wires or plumbing or HVAC fixtures may be worth the disadvantage of a smaller-seeming kitchen. Consider making your kitchen appear larger by finding ways to add more light and visual appeal to the high spots in the room.

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.

While the terms 'interior designer' and 'interior decorator' are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct professions with some overlapping work. The primary difference lies in the scope of their projects.

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetics of a space, making less permanent decisions about decor. Their work involves selecting colors, fabrics, furniture, wall art, paint, and other finishes to 'dress' a room and enhance its style.

An interior designer has a broader scope that includes a decorator's aesthetic focus but also extends to the structural and functional aspects of a space. Designers are qualified to plan layouts, make structural changes, and manage overall functionality. They handle permanent decisions regarding fixtures like cabinets and bathtubs, establish floor plans, and may hire contractors.

Due to the technical skills required, interior designers typically have formal education, certification, and may hold a license, which can result in higher fees. As a general rule, it is best to hire an interior designer for major remodeling projects and an interior decorator for projects focused on establishing or refreshing a home's interior style.
